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”

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”
Near Deer Experience
September 9th, 2019 2:28 am. I just almost died. Okay, that’s dramatic. But I did just almost hit a deer on the way home. And not just any deer; the most beautiful, haunting fawn I have ever seen. It had fallen behind its mother, and I saw its pale figure as I was screeching toContinue reading “Near Deer Experience”
Reintroduction
September 6th, 2019 Some people need no introduction. Some people beg to be reintroduced. So whether you’ve never even heard of me or you feel like you know me intimately, this is my #fridayintroductions — and maybe we’ll all learn something new today. My name is Dennis. I’m the guy in this photo. Not theContinue reading “Reintroduction”
Give Fucks
September 5th, 2019 I’mma shout this real loud for all the cool kids slouching in the back of the bus: Caring about things and people is the most attractive quality a person can have. I know when you’re young it doesn’t seem like it, because caring about stuff is lame and you are desperate toContinue reading “Give Fucks”
Tell Me Something Good
August 28th, 2019 What makes an artist special is obvious to everyone but the artist him- or herself. This applies to all people. I read this in an article the other night and the words have been rattling inside me ever since. Right before I read this, I was actually talking about someone I know,Continue reading “Tell Me Something Good”
Don’t Let Them Take Your Light
August 24th, 2019 Don’t let them take your light. Two weekends ago, I was at a convention and met a lot of awesome people. I met a couple who were incredibly nice and they were really interested in what I do. One of them gave me a call a week ago and was very complimentary.Continue reading “Don’t Let Them Take Your Light”
What My Dog Has Taught Me
August 14th, 2019 Things I’ve learned (and am still learning) from my dog: Be kind, even when you’re hungry. Especially when you’re hungry. When in doubt, try to make the human smile. Lead with trust, and learn from behavior. If someone hurts you, whether it be by accident or intentionally, it is always better toContinue reading “What My Dog Has Taught Me”
Know Your Potential
July 29th, 2019 I think a lot of people undervalue their potential to change people’s lives, especially at their jobs. I’ll make this one short & sweet. I got my last table tonight less than an hour before close. If you’ve ever worked a job with posted hours, you know that this is less thanContinue reading “Know Your Potential”
Mom
July 26th, 2019 When I was seven years old, I had a Batman Returns-themed birthday party. Despite the fact that it says everything about who I ended up being as an adult (a dark, superhero-obsessed loser with a fairly self-aware sense of humor), that’s not why I love this recently unearthed photo. I love itContinue reading “Mom”
