There Are Two Sides to Every Story

I’m on a bit of a rampage tonight about a fiction, short film that just wrapped filming on So Cal called “IEP.” The director, Jason Gilmore, lists the plot of the film on the film website this way: “IEP is a short film that tells the fictional story of Xavier, an 8-year-old African-American boy in…

I’m Not Scared At All

Not anymore. I’ve had a time to get some perspective. Yes, just a few days, but I have realized, I need a completely new attitude. Actually, it’s not a new attitude. It’s really the attitude I’m sort of infamous for. That “I dare you to tear me down” attitude. The one that flips off what…

Depression – Again

Thanksgiving was pleasant, but most definitely not relaxing. The day itself was nice – cooking, the smell of stuffing and sweet potatoes, friends and good conversation. But I was back to work on Friday – supporting retail means never resting on Black Friday – off to visit Tim at ODTC on Saturday, and trying to…

Thanksgiving

In the spirit of the holiday, I wanted to share what I am thankful for this year. — I am thankful for my health, especially as I watch a close friend deal with cancer. — I am thankful for my marriage, which has its ups and downs, but still serves as my backbone after 19…

Drowning

It’s been an interesting weekend, to say the least. Definitely not relaxing. I don’t know how I feel about it, really. The fact that it’s 5 o’clock Sunday morning and I’ve been up nearly 2 hours after waking during a dream that I was drowning probably says more about how I feel than I could…

Ch..Ch…Changes

A lot has changed around here in the past couple of weeks. I’ve gone back to work in an office, after working from home for nearly 3 years. Our daughter has gone from thinking we suck, to wanting to hang out with us, to thinking we suck again (she’s 14). It went from 79 and…
