3/8 - “I’m a community activist now”

I’ve finally decided to speak up about the issue described below that affects my local community in Hollywood, CA…
I spoke to the appropriate government department on the phone, and followed up with an email to them —- here’s an excerpt from that email…
____________________________________________________________
“…I’d like to issue a formal proposal to the city to put in [...]

3/4 - “Wouldn’t it be awesome if…”

Technology continues to advance at rapid rates, and it seems almost as if the majority of people I know have some sort of GPS setup in their cars.
I don’t know much about this stuff, but I do know that GPS tells you where to go, and some systems I believe even alert you of where [...]

2/3 - “Experience scary, funny, and sad all within 30 seconds”

Good friend Lance told me the following story the other night:
He was pulling into a parking lot somewhere here in Los Angeles, when a group of Mexican men started waving at him.  Being polite, he waved back.  Then all of a sudden all these guys started sprinting toward his Toyota pick-up truck.  Once they got [...]

1/25 - “Quirky people, smooth people”

A quirky person can sometimes be smooth.
A smooth person can sometimes be quirky.
However, I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to be both smooth and quirky at the same time.
One day, before I die, I vow to be simultaneously both smooth and quirky.
If and when, I will issue a full report with details about it.

1/17 - “Football hijinks”

For anyone who reads this and knows absolutely nothing about American football, you’re going to be entirely confused.
For the rest of us, we’re all aware that a fair catch is when a receiver of a punted/kicked ball decides to just catch the ball, and accept field position at the spot of the catch itself.   The [...]

1/10 - “Text or call?”

It’s an internal debate we all have with ourselves on somewhat of a regular basis.
We ask ourselves, “Does what I want to communicate work better on the phone or via text?”
There’s only so much I can explain via text (frantic thumb-typing) without eventually thinking to myself, “What am I doing right now?  Wtf is wrong [...]

12/3 - “Being one’s own worst enemy is not so bad”

Think about it.  We all meet people in our lives who feel like they are their own worst enemies.  Perhaps you see yourself as such.
Despite whether or not this may in fact be true for some people, even if so, it’s not so bad.   Believe it or not, you should be thankful that you are [...]

11/30 - “Force your kid to play music”

These days parents pretty much force their kids to participate in all sorts of structured activity.   George Carlin has a great bit about this, in which he pokes fun at how pushy and annoying parents can be.
That all being said, I could definitely someday see myself forcing my kid to play an instrument (like guitar [...]

11/19 - “One man’s filler is another man’s treasure”

What I really mean is one man’s filler is another man’s treasure.   Filler is really in the eye of the holder, or rather in ear of the listener when it’s comes to analysis of any music album.
If you think of any artist/band that you’re really into, you’d never think of any of their albums as [...]

11/12 - “Philosophy on killing bugs”

I really have a pretty simple rule.
Back when I was a kid, perhaps between the ages of 4-7, I did my fair share of stepping on ants (on purpose).  I grew out of that fairly quickly though, and started to become the warm and sensitive person that I am today.  Seriously, I’m not a big [...]
