If there is something that is true about the human-animal it’s that we can all go through the very same things in the same ways and each of us will experience it differently. The collection of us come from different backgrounds, different make-ups, and have different chemistries at work in us. While ‘nothing is new’,… Continue reading Weak

Get Physical
As more and more of us turn to ‘streams’ to get our entertainment - and information - content there has been a stronger and stronger pushback from the creative and collecting sides of things. What was once looked at as a great convenience, to turn to a stream for movies and shows, has become the… Continue reading Get Physical
Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
I always have a hard time calling things ‘mockumentaries’. The word ‘mock’ catches me. In my head, I hear it as if it’s mocking a subject or style. Not imitating it but making fun of it. Pseudo-documentary feels better but is a lot of goop in the mouth and it doesn’t sound better. I shall,… Continue reading Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
Pay Up
If you peruse my blog for any length of time you will quickly realize two things - I am not religious but I have respect for religion. I think it’s an important distinction to make because too many atheists like to make a scene ranting about how evil religion is. That’s not me. Faith is… Continue reading Pay Up
All Hail Halloween
Last night I got to take my daughter out for her first real-live Halloween. We had taken her to the houses of family her first two, and that was fun, but this time it was the real deal. And she loved. And we loved it. It reminded me of why Halloween is so important culturally… Continue reading All Hail Halloween
Be A Fan
I think I have this same sort of feeling after every event I’ve put on myself or helped put on - Why? Why do it? Why put in the time, and the hours, and the money when the results can be…disappointing at best? This isn’t an O-Woe post, but a reality check for myself. I… Continue reading Be A Fan
Airing it Out
There’s something about modern humans where we need constant validation. We need attention, and ‘love’, and an audience. It’s part of what we are as a species but it’s also learned behavior in our social media age. So many of us are giving partial attention to one another - always on our phones, scrolling, texting,… Continue reading Airing it Out
Putting It All Out There
There is this whole line of thought that you have to put something out there, to ‘put it into the universe’ to ‘manifest’ it. So if you want to be rich you are just like - I want to be rich. If you want to be loved you say - I want to be loved. … Continue reading Putting It All Out There
Eclectic Funeral
One of those strange things we have to wrestle with as we age is that one of the rare times, and for many of us the only time, we will be celebrated (hopefully) is at our funeral, a thing we can’t consciously attend. We can’t even dictate what it really is, or means. We’re just… Continue reading Eclectic Funeral
Peace
It’s a natural part of getting older that we start to think about the end. Especially when a marital partner and kids enter the equation. In all honesty, it becomes a heavier and heavier burden as we age because we begin to see the people we love leaving us, whether we’re ready for them to… Continue reading Peace
Anticipation
As a kid, I remember waiting with bated breath for fall. I was no fan of school, that’s to be sure, but I was desperate for the start of the fall cartoons and for the fall television slate. You see, in the ‘80s the fall season was when the new cartoons would debut as well… Continue reading Anticipation
Ladders to Heaven
Sometimes I wonder if we’re trying to heave ladders toward heaven with how anxious we are to pore over the art of the past to find its flaws. We are desperate to show how wise and cultured and enlightened we are and just as anxious to post about it so everyone can know about it… Continue reading Ladders to Heaven
Awakened and Asleep
It seems like it’d get tiresome being outraged all the time. It seems like with all the things going on in the world the small hills the hard right conservatives want to die on, crosses held high above their heads wouldn’t be worth it. GREAT! You have forced people who don’t identify as their birth… Continue reading Awakened and Asleep
