When I first moved to Los Angeles, I blogged nearly every other day. I was transparent and honest about who I was and what I was going through, both good and bad. That rubbed a few people wrong, thinking I was sharing too much, but most people appreciated the candor of my words.
Then I stopped blogging as much. I blamed it on being busy, uninspired, or tired. Those were true, but there was something else at work. I began hiding. I had to conform to the “Hollywood mentality” of […]
The following is a post I just made on my Facebook wall for Good Friday. I wanted to share it with you.
On this day 1,983 years ago, a man from Nazareth was wrongfully executed, convicted by a rigged jury and angry mob.
As he hung on the cross and died, he forgave the people the killed him, he forgave his friends that abandoned him, and he forgave you. For it wasn’t the lashes or the beating that ended his life, nor the asphyxiation from his shoulders being dislocated. It was […]
I don’t think anyone reads my blog anymore. It’s my fault, really. I’m not consistent. Sure, I’ll spend a week or two putting up a handful of entries, but then I’ll go a couple of months until I post again. This time around, it’s been about six months. Oops.
The truth is, I’ve had a lot happening behind the scenes in the business arena and I’m not comfortable talking about any of it until official announcements are made. I don’t want to ruin and/or jinx any of these opportunities. (All […]
I don’t know what to write. I know that I need to say something, but for once I’m speechless. The worst part is that I don’t even know what to feel. I’m not sure if I’m numb, in denial, or if my emotions have already spilled out like the yellow lego guy up above.
Chances are, if you are reading this, you are a close friend trying to find out why I’m mentioning having a broken heart on Facebook. Or you are new to my life and you are looking […]
I think God has been working on me a lot lately. A lot more than normal. Well, at least I’m listening more and actually letting the lessons sink in. That’s gotta count for something, right?
A little over a month ago, I told you about pushing the woman I loved away and finally mustering up the courage to tell her that I was sorry. So much has happened since I wrote that and I couldn’t tell every detail if I wanted to. (I actually don’t want to, believe it or […]
I’ve always been a writer. Since I was a wee one, I was crafting words onto a page and telling a story. One such tale, which I remember vividly, was an assignment during 2nd grade that featured my cousin, my (talking) hamster, and myself on a wild adventure that brought us to Mars. It just so happened to completely follow the plot of Total Recall, which I had seen recently prior. Apparently, I’ve also been a plagiarist since I was a wee one, as well.
It’s true, though. I’ve been writing as long […]
Hope is a funny thing. We are often told not to get our hopes up, lest we get disappointed. The bible says that hope deferred makes the heart sick. Robert G. Ingersoll said, “Hope is the only universal liar who never loses his reputation for veracity.” And I say, based upon the fact that I was once faced with a situation where I had lost my hope, that it is extremely dangerous to not have.
But what is hope? How can you wrap the intangible into something that we can […]
As the warm glow of 2010 begins to set over the horizon of time, I think if only fitting that I tell a story about involving sunsets and happy, fairytale endings. Minus the fairytale part. There was no kissing of frogs involved.
It was October and things were tough. Hell, when aren’t they? Anyway, this particular financial struggle involved my vehicle registration on top of everything else in my life. I was so broke that I hadn’t paid my registration fees (I was six months overdue) because I could not […]
The phone rang. I recognized the number, but answered anyway. It was another person I owed money, this time my Internet Service Provider for my office. I told them the same thing I’ve told everyone else regarding my car, insurance, storage, mail box, and cell phone: there isn’t enough money to go around. I barely had the funds to cover feeding my crew on the Ford Fiesta Movement audition shoot this past Saturday, and there are missing elements still (like a project hard drive) because I do not have […]
I began this morning very excited. I helped a friend with his YouTube video last night into the wee hours of the morning (okay, it was only about 1:30am when we finished, but still…) and then came back and put some finishing touches on my new YouTube channel. All of that energy and excitement carried over to this morning, despite the obvious lack of adequate sleep, and I felt “jazzed” all morning. And why not? I’m excited about starting this new endeavor and what it might mean for advancing […]
