It’s intermission right now for “TGoV” and I’m in my dressing room listening to Elvis Perkins. I’m having one of those bittersweet moments that is being enhanced by “While You Were Sleeping.” I’m thinking about the future. I’m thinking about right now. I suppose I’m content for the moment. Not much I can really do [...]
Around 4AM I went to bed drunk thanks in part to creme de banana, spiced rum, and watermelon schnapps. At 8AM my alarm went off and I didn’t get up. At 9:30 I looked at the clock and realized I had court in thirty minutes, thirty minutes away. Lucky for me, at the theater this [...]
(Full Disclosure*: This is a snapshot of my day…in words. Don’t read it if you’re not interested in learning about the little things that made Sunday great for me.) Hey world, what a day! Shortly after showering this morning at 10:40 I was cooking pasta in a towel. Medium shells and 100% sunshine yellow cotton [...]
I have eight minutes before I have to hop in the shower. A few different matters are at hand… My license is suspended. It’s been suspended since December 26. That’s my bad. My fault. I hope to have it reinstated tomorrow at court. Seven minutes. Yes, I have court tomorrow. I’m contesting this ticket in [...]
Dear Readers, Please know that I didn’t want to write about anything you are possibly about to read. I thought it was personal and none of anyone’s business. I thought that my silence was the mature thing to do. I reasoned that my time and energy would be better spent elsewhere… Then I double-checked just [...]
Hey you. Weird night, huh? A lot of things to sort out… Luckily you’ve got all the time in the world. Nothing super urgent, but you know it needs fixin’. That’s okay. Be aware. Be in the moment. One day at a time.
Note to self… Never attend an open casting call ever again. While the thought of being “discovered” is not one that will ever go away, standing in line between a six year-old and a mother obviously forcing her child to audition is not worth my time or energy. Any audition worth my time will require [...]
You’re asleep right now… A little before ten I looked over at you and thought you were just resting your eyes. Nope. I wanted to wake you up. Go for a walk, get some fresh air, stop by the grocery store and pick up some popcorn… But you’re asleep right now. The movie will have [...]
I officiated a wedding for a man and woman in July. Tonight the man sent me a text message: he’s the proud father of a baby girl. For the next 18 years, her parent’s lives will never be the same. That’s scary to think about. It’s moments like those — the real life moments — [...]
Today I’m in a holding pattern. Waiting. Waiting for phone calls and things to happen. Waiting to move forward. Waiting for any direction whatsoever at all. I hate waiting. I hate this unnecessary time with my thoughts. A moment for pause to reiterate that as a man, I’m an idiot. Part of what makes me [...]
As she exited the elevator this morning, I noticed she was losing her hair. It wasn’t hard to notice the blatant attempt to conceal the inevitable. I felt bad for her. Just as I wish my hair to never thin or fall away, I assume she wishes she had it back. It was in that [...]
For the past six months I’ve been struggling about how to deal with my previous relationship. The line between friends and lovers was blurred. Could we be one without being the other? I was still having issues getting past her and ‘us,’ so I turned to Feng Shui and I found some answers. In Feng [...]
I received an email at work today via Private Critic. What’s Private Critic? It’s a website that allows you to: “Send anonymous emails to your friends, co workers and classmates.” What’d the email say? “Please wash your hands after using the bathroom.” You don’t wash your hands after you go? Sometimes I do. Like when!? [...]
Today marks the beginning of the end… It was my first day back in the office after my two week trek across America. The moment I walked through the door, my manager escorted me to the head of HR to discuss my severance package and go over any questions. Unfortunately, this meeting was a waste [...]
Hi, Life! I’m back! It’s me, Michael. Remember me? It’s really snazzy to be back, but there’s one thing I hadn’t anticipated… …all the junk I left behind. I thought you were supposed to take care of that for me? I thought you were supposed to remove all the excess garbage and give me some [...]
So, um…goodbye. Uh…I’m leaving. Yeah, in less than 20 hours. I think. Yep, time’s running out. You’re right. I just wanted you to know that I’m not sure if I’ll see you again. I don’t even know if I’m coming back. This might be the last time you ever — Okay, I won’t talk like [...]
It must have been ‘Menopause Day’ at Target in Bloomington this afternoon… Why do you say that? Were their prices so low you experienced a hot flash? No, but I’ve seriously never seen so many moustaches in my life! walkonred
The man that rear-ended me on Friday gave me a check yesterday. Immediately after receiving the check, I went to TCF to cash the check. Unfortunately, the man that rear-ended me didn’t have the required funds to cover the $571 check. Today, I went back to TCF. The teller tried to remain pleasant as she [...]
Here’s an abridged list of other horrible things I assume will happen: 1) My cats will implode. 2) I’ll get gum in my hair. 3) My condo will burn down. 4) No one will see Freedom: Some Restrictions Apply. 5) My brother will be sent to Iraq. 6) I’ll step on a nail. 7) I’ll [...]
