November 16th, 2019 I’m terrified, you guys. If you’ve heard me talk at all about what’s next for me, you know that I’m collecting all the issues of The Weirdos, coloring them and releasing it as a Collector’s Edition graphic novel next year. And I’m petrified to try to really get started. I’ve been puttingContinue reading “Scaredy Cat”

Be Here Now
November 6th, 2019 There will always be people there to remind you of who and what you used to be. Someone who, instead of celebrating your achievements of the moment, will tell you how you would have previously failed. Someone who will mention how you used to act as opposed to how you’re behaving rightContinue reading “Be Here Now”
To Us
October 25th, 2019 This is a shout out (and a lift up) to the crazy people like me: to those of you who have collaborative hearts, but have found that in order to make any of your dreams a reality, you have to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter what your dream is, either. YouContinue reading “To Us”
Save Me
October 21st, 2019 You can’t save everyone. And, some days, it feels like you can’t save anyone. When you make it to the other side of certain hardships or experiences, you find yourself wanting to share how you did it in the hopes that you can help another human. That maybe you can prevent aContinue reading “Save Me”
Gossip, Girl
October 15th, 2019 Gossip is awful. I am also terribly guilty of it. I would never assume you are or have been, too, because that would be gossiping and I am no fool to these self-imposed tricks. One of the best tools I’ve learned in battling the deeply natural act of talking shit about oneContinue reading “Gossip, Girl”
Open Line
October 10th, 2019 Bad vibes in Minnesota right now. But I see good vibes online right now; post after post about mental health awareness, and the normalization of this kind of discussion is something I am passionately for. In fact: it deeply informs my work today. Here is my pitch for The Weirdos: this isContinue reading “Open Line”
No Joke
October 9th, 2019 Two guys walk out of a bar. It doesn’t really matter why they walked out. And this isn’t the start of a joke. No, this is something entirely different. So, two men tried leaving the restaurant tonight. The reasons themselves don’t matter and don’t even appear clear to me; but they areContinue reading “No Joke”
Great Power
October 3rd, 2019 Will Smith and I are on the same wavelength. I had been thinking about writing a post about the difference between fault and responsibility lately, and then I saw a video of his yesterday in which he perfectly describes what I was going to say. That smug ass. To sum it up:Continue reading “Great Power”
Believe
September 24th, 2019 Whenever you make a decision, you have to balance logic and intuition. I mean, you don’t have to. But, usually, when you don’t is when you make a bad decision. Sometimes you look at all the facts and they add up, but something doesn’t feel right. And sometimes what you want toContinue reading “Believe”
Be Stupid
September 22nd, 2019 This post is just for me. I’m putting it here in case I ever forget and I need to find it. Everyone has their ineffable qualities that make them who they are. Everybody knows somebody who, when you’re asked why you like them, you sigh and say, “I don’t know. There’s justContinue reading “Be Stupid”
