Mirror, Mirror (Or how I trigger my OCD)
I don’t like to label myself so instead of saying that “I HAVE OCD”, I’m going to say that I exhibit OCD-like behaviors. Upon occasion. Under certain circumstances. Sometimes without even thinking about it. My OCD-like behavior is fairly mild. I watch the same movies or TV shows or I read the same books or listen to the same songs,…
5th time’s a charm…
It was surreal, landing into LAX on Saturday. I was looking out the window and I didn’t really know where we were over the city. I kept thinking, oh, there’s the 405! But it wasn’t. Which way is north? Where is downtown? I thought I saw it and felt better about getting my bearings. Then there was another bunch of…
A Can of Worms
“Opening a can of worms”….where does that come from anyway? So you open it up. They all get out and start wiggling around, going every which way. I guess that could be stressful. But they’re worms! They are moving at, like, 2 inches per hour or something ridiculous! Hell, you could go have a nap and come back and still…

Basically about how alien they actually are from us. We thought, you know, if we could just sit them down and ask them questions, maybe we’d…
The Inbetween
Over three years ago, I had a “manic” episode and ended up in LA, with all my stuff, on my way to becoming a professional actor. Yeah, right. Sure I did. That’s what I wanted to do and I found enough faith the get me down there. When I got there I discovered just how ego bound I actually was. …
Ego, Friendship and Ranting
Today I started a blog. This blog to be exact. It’s not the first blog I’ve ever started but it’s the first one that actually has a purpose. Usually my blogs are the neurotic rantings of my ego trying desperately to be heard. And it does get heard. I have friends who are willing to at least hit my site…
