The idea of having a monarch that oversees a nation feels a little outdated, doesn’t it? Sure, in many cases these are ornamental acknowledgments of the past and while they have a ‘say’ in things, they don’t run the nation. That isn’t always true, as you will get some countries where there is a ruler… Continue reading Kings and Queens

Baby Games
You would think it’d be tiresome by now, wouldn’t you, the hand-wringing and dire pronouncements about how superhero movies are KILLING CINEMA! AND CULTURE! AND THE WORLD! Like, these are movies, man, is it all that dramatic? Really? I have talked about this in other blogs and as I said there, I get the dislike… Continue reading Baby Games

It’s when our minds are off of our minds when some of our deepest thinking comes to us. Some of it welcome, and some of it not. Some thoughts sneaking in like unwanted visitors in the night, clumsily moving through the darkness, not caring if they wake us or not. I was driving my daughter… Continue reading Guest Stars
Woke Up This Way
You can tell we are at the edge of the world when troll culture has gone so far off the board that they are outraged about the casting of a FANTASY TELEVISION SERIES! In what world are we living where this is a thing that matters? In what world are we in that there are… Continue reading Woke Up This Way
Introducing – THIS IS A DOOR
I am so, so excited to introduce you to my newest book THIS IS A DOOR, my first book of photography. I have struggled for a lot of my life with the many things I love to do but don't feel like I am good enough to say that I really DO it. I love… Continue reading Introducing – THIS IS A DOOR
Buy! BUY! BYE!
With a new book out my mind turns to youthful thoughts like - how the heck do I promote and sell this darned thing? It's a concern I have with every book and now, with not really doing shows these days it makes it all the froggier. I have talked about this on here before,… Continue reading Buy! BUY! BYE!
Something New…Just In Time For Creep Season
I have a new book that's coming out in the next few days. Something completely different from what I have done before and something I am really excited about. This is my second release this year and I wanted to do something new and to challenge myself a little. This is definitely something I wanted… Continue reading Something New…Just In Time For Creep Season
FLASHBACK – Tattered Tents & Whispered Wishes
Click Image To Purchase! As I have mentioned before, the lightning bolt that created Tattered Tents… came to me at a county fair. I was working a second job briefly as a recruiter for a local community college and had set a tent up at the fair for the weekend. It was hot and windy… Continue reading FLASHBACK – Tattered Tents & Whispered Wishes
When We’re Dead
I think most of us, deep down, hope we're not forgotten when we're dead. I think we hope that should there be a viewing, a funeral, or just a gathering, will not be forgotten. I think though, that we may be mistaken if we believe that there will be a big showing because sometimes we're… Continue reading When We’re Dead
What’s So Fair?
It's funny how we change as we get older and see more of the world. The views we had change, the things that never bothered us are suddenly deal breakers, and we start to see a fuller picture than we realized was ever there. I remember as a kid how much I loved the circus.… Continue reading What’s So Fair?
Dad
We refer to our relationships with our parents as complicated as if any parental/child relationship is 'normal'. Normal. We obsess over the idea of normalcy all our lives, striving for it, yearning for it, but there is no normal. There's only reality, and the reality is that every relationship with your parents, if you have… Continue reading Dad
Deny, deny, deny
I am led to wonder lately how it is we can present ourselves as the leaders of the ‘free’ world when we live in such denial. Now, each of us lives in personal denial of one thing or another - we really do need to exercise, we really do need to find a new job,… Continue reading Deny, deny, deny
Just So We’re Clear…It’s Fake
I have to admit that I am a little surprised by how effective Found Footage films and faux documentaries are in convincing people they are real. Really real. I remember when BLAIR WITCH PROJECT came out and how some people were outraged that such a film could be released. They wondered how some company, how… Continue reading Just So We’re Clear…It’s Fake
