April 5th, 2025 I am forever a theater nerd. When I went back to school last fall, my past in theater emboldened me to seek out similar groups for my educational stay. When I joined the Creative Arts & Writing Club (and subsequently became its president five minutes later), we started talking events, and aContinue reading “Guthrie Trip”

School Update: Spring Break ’25
February 26th, 2025 It’s only a week until spring break (holy cow!), so I thought I’d write another school update for anybody who wants to read it. This is a good one. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa (it’s on me) and let’s chat for a minute. So: I haven’t quit! Honest! AndContinue reading “School Update: Spring Break ’25”
help wanted
January 31st, 2024 If you read any of my stuff, I have a question for you! I’m entering an essay contest at school. An instructor really liked one of the papers I wrote last semester and suggested I submit it, but I was wondering: Do you have a favorite essay of mine from over theContinue reading “help wanted”
School’s Out For ’24
December 26th, 2024 Grades were released today. This is probably the last time I’ll ever be able to say this, but: I’m an A student this year!

Semester I
December 15th, 2024 Last night, I submitted my last project of the semester. I just did a semester of college! That’s one down, this time around. So: what did I learn? Turns out: a hell of a lot. College did not radicalize me, or even re-radicalize me. I have actually been rad most of myContinue reading “Semester I”
Inktober 2024
November 2nd, 2024 My Illustrator class had us participate in #Inktober this year! We only had to choose eight prompts, but I had a blast, putting a Pokémon spin on my picks. Before this year, I rarely ever used Illustrator, self-teaching myself Photoshop to get any and every project done. Learning it (and especially theContinue reading “Inktober 2024”
School Update: October ’24
October 2nd, 2024 I can’t believe it, but I’m already six weeks into being back at school at DCTC. People keep asking me how it’s going so let’s talk about it! • I joined a club! I went to my first Creative Arts & Writing Club meeting today… and I walked out of the meetingContinue reading “School Update: October ’24”
Back 2 School
August 12th, 2024 Twenty years ago, I tried to go to college. I failed. Kanye West wrote an album about it. I’ve done a lot with my life since then. Writer. Artist. Dad. Restaurant guy. Superhero. But never achieving a degree has both been a deterrent to realizing or advancing any kind of career, andContinue reading “Back 2 School”
