302/365 – Day-O-Megan
Megan’s on fire . . . SERIOUSLY! She’s on fire. Put her out! Please! Silly readers. Would I actually just write that she was on fire? Give me some credit. I would have at least Skyped it… Anyway, Megan and I can be pretty hard […]
301/365 – Back to Basics
Sometimes it’s nice to get back to basics. You know, return to a way of doing things that isn’t complicated by layers of emotion, experience and just plain old bias. Today, I took a huge step back, planted my feet where they had been years […]
300/365 – Monologue Test
I think I’m one of those people who fears success. Or, at least, I think that my behavior is what that term refers to. The idea that when you have a success, you can either relish in it, or you see the responsibility and work […]
299/365 – Sick Day
Just feel like crap today. Couple that with the fact that I have so much work do get done, that I have to make this sick day a work day. Stupid. So, with all the work I have, especially working on coverage for my internships, […]
298/365 – Saint Dean
So, as an older male who should have his shit together, I should be a littl more sheepish, possibly ashamed, of the statement I’m about to lay down on you kids. Megan and I are borrowing money from my dad to purchase our second car. […]
297/365 – Less Money = Adulthood
When do boys become men? Or better yet, when do we pass through the ring of fire into adulthood. Some people think it’s when we turn 21. As if drinking constitutes a measure of maturity — that just makes you regress. You could even argue […]
296/365 – Bumper Kissing
We all know . . . you hate Los Angeles. Seriously. I get it. You saw a comedian make jokes about LA or walked Hollywood Blvd once when you were 8 and made up your mind. You probably saw Down and Out in Beverly Hills […]
295/365 – Bender & Fry
Before I met Megan . . . Before I decided I wanted to make films . . . Before I thought I could be an actor . . . before drinking and girls and sex and puberty there was a little dream — NO! Not […]
294/365 – Nothing to Look Forward To
When your birthday is a month away, there’s a mounting anticipation. An excitement . . . weeks of excitement that builds. What gifts will I get? Who will I be with? Will my co-workers celebrate with me? Will I get trashed? Will the occupy movement […]
293/365 – Comedy Westerns
Farting around a campfire. When you do it as a kid at a sleepover camp, it god damn funny. When you see grown men do it on a movie, you may just asphyxiate from laughter — especially when you’re a 10 year old kid. I […]
292/365 – The Dark Knight Rises
. . . . . I’m kind of speechless right now. I just walked out of the Producer’s Guild’s pre-screening of The Dark Knight Rises — the final film in the Christopher Nolan trilogy and the film I’ve been anticipating all year. There’s murmuring by […]
291/365 – COMMENT!
COMMENT! COMMENT! COMMENT! COMMENT! COMMENT! Do you see a theme here? Someone’s reading this blog . . . I hope. The counter is about to reach 46,000 hits in a about a week. That means spam bots are still on the move, my mom is refreshing the web page […]
290/365 – The Dark Knight’s Big Adventure
As the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises approaches, I’m becoming more and more giddy. This movie will not disappoint . . . me at least. With all the hype, though, there’s some fear that it will not live up to expectations. That’s why when […]
289/365 – The Difference Between Justice and Punishment
Just another day at the office. Reading scripts. Getting this blog written. Eating stuff. Doing stuff . . . . stuff. Then I find this short film made by Mr. Thomas Jane. Yes, the same Thomas Jane who played The Punisher. You know, the comic […]
287/365 – Venice; A Social Dichotomy
Megan is a complex girl. One minute she’s happy and the next she’s happy . . . er? Actually, Megan is easy on the mind not to mention the eyes. So, as a celebration of her birth (day 2 — still making up for my […]
286/365 – Blind Boxes
If you’re a fan of this blog and you read it often, then you’re weird. Seriously. Go to The Onion or Cracked.com. I’m just this guy, you know. Still here? Okay, now that all the posers are gone (thanks for sticking around Mom) I have […]
285/365 – COMIC CON, Y’ALL! (and megan’s birthday)
Relationships are complicated. They’re hard. They can be just weird. However, when I look at my relationship with Megan, I find no complications. It’s why I married her — she makes everything seem so easy. No drama. No head games. She gets me and I […]
284/365 – Three’s Company Land
Today, at 6pm, I leave Los Angeles and head to sunny San Diego . . . well, I mean, sunnier San Diego? Um, just as sunny but further south San Diego? Whatever. I’m heading down to San Diego to attend the biggest nerd event of […]
304/365 – Musical Auditions
You know that dreadful feeling you get in the pit of your stomach before an important event? It feels like pulsating orb radiating electricity to your limbs. It’s really powerful. It takes away your appetite, disrupts your sleep patterns and even screws with your […]
