The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind
June 14th, 2024 It’s both alarming and comforting that the way we act on the internet isn’t anything new, if you look into the history of humanity at all. I watched the epic Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home from 2005 on PBS this afternoon. (“Epic” as in I watched all three-and-a-half hours of itContinue reading “The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind”
Summer ’95
June 10th, 2024 I heard Seal’s “Kiss From A Rose” this morning while running errands and I was taken straight back to the summer of 1995. As I considered my own power, my pleasure, my pain, I daydreamt about what I would be doing then. I had just turned ten years old. I would probablyContinue reading “Summer ’95”
SpringCon 2024
May 18th, 2024 I love my friends in the creative community so much. Cheers to a successful SpringCon, and a big thank you to Jen and the MNCBA and all the volunteers for today’s excellent event experience and for the vibe, especially. The vibe was good. The quality of conversation and friendship was exceptional; thereContinue reading “SpringCon 2024”
Birthday Weekend
April 28th, 2024 To celebrate my upcoming birthday (it’s not today, it’s Wednesday, May 1st, but you already knew that) I went out not once, but twice this weekend. On Friday, I found myself at the Fine Line to see Landon Conrath & friends, holding my own front row all night. The young energy hadContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”
FOB!!
April 8th, 2024 I have actually lost count of how many times I’ve seen Fall Out Boy live, but I know when I became a diehard fan: 2005, the year that the album From Under The Cork Tree was released. Like I said in a previous post, FOB is one of the precious few thingsContinue reading “FOB!!”
Spring Flowers
April 4th, 2024 I haven’t been let out in public to talk about writing and art and music and The Bachelor since November (where does the time go?) but that’s all about to change. April showers bring May flowers and I’ll be making appearances soon! Come visit! Bring snacks! I’ll bring the chaotic energy andContinue reading “Spring Flowers”
A Jojo (and Dennis) Update
March 22nd, 2024 It’s been exactly one hot minute and the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated; here’s my face to explain how I’ve been busy, plus all the details I can give about Jojo’s Time Machine, which is coming out next week (oh jeez). Don’t want to watch? Here’s some key moments:Continue reading “A Jojo (and Dennis) Update”
Let Go
March 15th, 2024 My fingers are locked tight around the steering wheel. I imagine all the ways this could go wrong at any moment, the reheated leftovers of PTSD, driving a formally stolen car that tried to kill me last year. I wonder if I can get fast enough that my car could lift upContinue reading “Let Go”
VI
December 9th, 2023 Six years ago today, I pulled off my biggest act of rebellion. Despite being an unfortunate people-pleaser who needs everyone to like him (and has succeeded maybe 30% of the time), I have always been rebellious by nature. I was born obstinate and stubborn (a Taurus!) and, sure, I can still beContinue reading “VI”
