May 25th, 2020 What kind of doofus would release a book about connecting to one another at a time when we’re so far apart? This kind of doofus. A doofus who could absolutely use some of your knowledge and wisdom. As any writer does, I spend time reading about sales and the “art” of selling,Continue reading “New Directions”

The [Hidden] Real World
May 20th, 2020 I’ve spent weeks with this book, exploring the most vast multiverses, and the tiniest quantum worlds. I just finished it. And now I know everything. I’m *kidding*. But I am really proud of myself for reading an entire book about math and physics of every major kind. This is adult-level book-reading goalsContinue reading “The [Hidden] Real World”
It’s Science
May 14th, 2020 I’ve been really into science lately. Deep. I’m reading books about the universe (or universes?). I’ve learned so much about physics. General relativity, and quantum field theory, and string theory, and I’m finding a stunning symmetry to people. When we encounter a force we don’t understand, we have to figure out anContinue reading “It’s Science”
Circle Of Life
May 10th, 2020 When I was in 5th grade, I started my first business. I’ve always been a dreamer and a scribbler; that year, I started sketching full page portraits of Lion King characters based on (read: basically copied from) their trading cards. Some of the other kids saw me doodling these at my deskContinue reading “Circle Of Life”
I Can Be Wrong, Too
May 6th, 2020 I think it’s good to admit when we are wrong about something. So, allow me to do so. I just watched one of those videos that exposes the “truth” about what’s “really” going on out there. It made some dubious claims, the people involved were mysterious themselves, but it made a fewContinue reading “I Can Be Wrong, Too”
One More Thank You, How To Read A Comic Book, It’s Release Day & My Birthday!
May 1st, 2020 “For the first 35 years of my life, I was a bit player. …When the time came, I knew I had to be more.” – Dolores Abernathy, this week’s episode of Westworld It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to. 😂 If you don’t want to watch 7 delightful minutesContinue reading “One More Thank You, How To Read A Comic Book, It’s Release Day & My Birthday!”
Squirrel Life
April 30th, 2020 I’ve been asked about my obsession with squirrels, and I have to say: it’s everything. The aesthetic. The personality. The community. The particular and peculiar ways they create uncontrollable chaos in a world that demands control. But the biggest thing is their lesson. Every day, somewhere, a squirrel decides to cross aContinue reading “Squirrel Life”
Sober Distancing
April 11th, 2020 This is a shout out to my beautiful peeps who are dealing with the same stuff that we’re all dealing with, but also doing it sober. We live in a world (and social media climate) that actively promotes and adamantly believes in the idea that to get through things — big thingsContinue reading “Sober Distancing”
A Nut is a Circle
April 2nd, 2020 I’m always saying it: the universe is too strange and too perfect to be random. I just had to go on a grocery store run, and there at Target, I ran into Eric. You would be easily excused if you don’t know who Eric is. But if you do know, you wouldContinue reading “A Nut is a Circle”
No Foolin’
April 1st, 2020 Dang it. I had all of this planned before tonight happened, before I lost my job of almost thirteen years; but I still want to do this, and I’m gonna, damn it. To address what happened simply, though: I will never be able to express how grateful I am, for so manyContinue reading “No Foolin’”
