Counting today there are only five more performances of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Until we officially close, I can’t offer my thoughts on the overall experience. However, here are some complaints! I’m a better dancer… My left knee is killing me… Last week Joe Dowling and I shared a special moment.Hopefully there will be [...]
Yesterday was a bitch. Things just felt off. Not just for me, for the entire cast! An actor’s uncle died. An actor’s car was broken in to. An actor’s neck is in pain. An actor’s ankle is twisted. My stage-girlfriend went home sick, thus our dance sequences have been cut from the opening and closing [...]
If you’re looking for the Complaint Department… Currently I’m at the theatre in my dressing room. Today marks the beginning of tech-week and already I’m looking forward to the close of the show. Not a good sign… If life is about learning, consider this show a lesson learned. While I’m pleased to include this show [...]
Completely hypothetical… …but if your family immigrates to America from Russia in the late ’80s and you want to be accepted as an American citizen, then you must be familiar with John Hughes and his classic, Uncle Buck. And instead of being an asshole and talking about how much you’d rather be in Russia because [...]
Time is seriously messsing with me. This week is supposed to fly! This week is supposed to feel like it’s over already! I didn’t work on Monday. I don’t work on Friday. How can a three-day-week feel this long!
See this image? Go head, click on it. It’s the ten day forecast for Minneapolis. I keep checking it to see if it’s gonna get warmer, but I’m growing more and more upset with Mother Nature. It’s SPRING! Why isn’t it warm out! Last year at this time, we hit 80 degrees! Come on! This [...]
This is my horoscope today: Relationship drama is likely now, for your emotions are all over the place. It’s challenging to get a handle on everything because you may not feel like you’re standing on very solid ground. The rules are changing, making this a poor time to try to hold onto the past. Be [...]
This morning I had a mandatory call-in meeting for work at 7:30AM. I love and hate those meetings. I love that I can be hung-over naked in bed on a conference call with my boss and co-workers. That’s a naughty bonus. I hate that the call was so early (by my standards). I hate that [...]
More complaining today… Why can’t it be summer? Or, if not summer — why can’t it be sixty degrees and sunny? Why does it have to be so cold? I’m just getting impatient with myself. I imagine that when it’s warmer my life will be golden. Things seem to be stagnating with the cold. There’s [...]
I hate the Mall Of America. Hate. As in: It needs to die. Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. I’m not typically a huge gift-giver for fake holidays, but I know that Katherine has a little something in mind, so I thought not to be outdone, I need to get her a gift as well… I planned [...]
What’s best idea that comes from a late night of drinking? You guessed it! Breakfast! Last night at The Bulldog, I got busy celebrating Dustin’s birthday. He’s a man now. A man that’s likely hung-over. But good for him. At the bar, we met thee other people and invited them out for breakfast at Our [...]
On Saturday I helped with a film-shoot for a sketch a buddy of mine wrote. I felt really great about it. It was nice to just do something creative. My entire Sunday was spent editting the footage. We’re supposed to have a 5 minute short, but right now we’re hanging around 12 minutes. That’s not [...]
Technically, I’m supposed to be studying the articles I printed for my research paper, but I can’t focus. This isn’t entirely my fault. I place a majority of my lack of focus on my neighbor. I really don’t like studying. There’s too many reasons not to. My apartment is messy. My work space is too [...]
I skipped class tonight. I’m essentially done with that class. I’ll hand in my research paper at the beginning of December and be done with it all. (For those of you that are interested, I’m writing about “the social problem political correctness.” If you have any thoughts/resources you’d like to share, I’m very interested…) There [...]
So I’m running. Running on empty. Busy. Always busy. Always moving. And I’m getting tired. Run-down. Running on empty. I emailed Katherine this morning that I felt depressed. Or that I’m suffering from depression. Who knows. I’d like to write about that possibility, but I don’t have the time to do that right now. Tonight [...]
I’m discouraged right now. Discouraged because I don’t have a ton of money in savings. Discouraged because I can’t control my spending. Discouraged because I’m actually looking at the numbers. Discouraged because Christmas is coming. Discouraged because my checking account is not correct. Just discouraged. That’s all really. I leave for California on Monday. I [...]
I’m many things with myself right now. For instance, I’m proud of myself for not smoking this evening. Reason? After the Monday Night Comedy Show, I got into an argument with someone I should not have argued with. The argument prompted my hands to start shaking. The argument prompted every instinct in my body to [...]

On Sunday morning the phone rang. It was my brother. He was calling from Camp Ripley where he was training with the Minnesota National Guard. He told me that over the weekend he completed a packet of information which outlines what the Army is to do with his remains should he be killed in combat. [...]
