  • Some Good Thinking, done on a Bad Back.

    Some Good Thinking, done on a Bad Back.

    I threw my back out on Thursday. If it didn’t hurt so much, I would be proud to have one of the top 5 sitcom-related injuries, and would be looking forward to 22-25 minutes of quirky hi-jinks. But since my life isn’t produced by Warner Bros. Television, I’m left to sit still and type very,…

  • Young Love, or Some Junk.

    Young Love, or Some Junk.

    I wasn’t cool enough to make a mix tape. I never knew what songs to put on it To tell you how much I wanted You, Needed You, Baaaaaabyyyy! (You’re supposed to sing that last line like you mean it.) I made radio shows with my cousin, Cracking jokes and doing voices That made us…

  • You. Are About. To Explode.

    You. Are About. To Explode.

    My best friend told me this on the phone yesterday. Yes, we talk on the phone. Yes, I know we’re grown men and that Zoom is a thing. Shut up. We’re are friends and collaborators. Together, we have created and produced 15 independent sketch comedy shows, video shorts, and cabaret shows, in addition to writing…

  • “You Write like You Talk”

    “You Write like You Talk”

    It’s hard to explain how good it feels to hear that. Let me try, though. It tells me that I am reaching someone in a way that’s unusual to them. Whatever I’m saying is resonating in a way that is both familiar and exciting, which means that they don’t just feel drawn into the story…

  • All This, With Just a Bachelor’s Degree

    All This, With Just a Bachelor’s Degree

    I’ve spent the bulk of the week working on creating new copy for my company’s reopening – we decided to take the tragedy of having a dark stage and turn it into a time for reevaluation, reorganization, and creation. Our company is artist owned and operated, and as an actor and writer I have an…

    It’s the Most Wonderful Time

    My company is back to making magic this week, filming some pieces for a video on demand offering and optimistically planning for a live holiday show. Fingers and jingle bells crossed, people. The holidays are where we make a great deal of our annual income, and with the large number of families and corporate events…

    Wait, I thought I ordered The Chicken Soup for the Soul…

    Hey yall. So, I started this blog with the idea of sharing the things that I have learned along the way, through the stories of my life. We’d share some laughs, my favorite quotes, some cute pics … you know, just kind of kick it together. Cute, right? Well, no one mentioned that in reality,…

  • On Books, and How I learned to Hate Myself

    On Books, and How I learned to Hate Myself

    In elementary school, I was in a special program for gifted kids – a group of adorable little nerds who were much more inclined to read the encyclopedia than play street football after class. We met every other week with an advisor to work on fun projects that would challenge us outside of the normal,…

  • Fear isn’t going anywhere. So move.

    Fear isn’t going anywhere. So move.

    There is another mouse running around my house. It looks like it’s an annual event in my neighborhood – as the temperature drops, these lil’ bastards start looking for a warm, food filled homes to relax in until next spring. It’s like they’re a bunch of retired seniors, and my house is Miami. If you…

  • Tell me Sweet Little Lies.

    Tell me Sweet Little Lies.

    It’s exciting to think about writing and talking to You every day.  When I sit down to type (or stand sometimes, because I heard that’s healthy), I don’t have to deal with wearing that government-issued blanket of anxiety for a  while, and whatever twists the back of my stomach up in a small knot retreats.…
