I drove by the shell of a “Toys R Us” earlier and it reminded of the sadness within. I am too old for those kinds of toys now, and so are my girls, but the concept of a toy store is something that was a cherished ideal back in the […]
I watched the movie “Medieval” recently, which has Ben Foster and Michael Caine in it. Both actors are fantastic but I felt the movie didn’t quite do them justice. It was ok, but for what they are, it was too many dramatic looks into the camera without some meat to […]
I ended up being super busy at the end of January so I’ve really just tried to take a few days to let my mind atrophy for a bit but then I ended up being busy all over again. Sometimes you say to yourself, “I’ll be all right, just as […]
I’ve seen this movie a few times. I’m a sucker for westerns, so I like the whole “Tombstone”, “Magnificent Seven”, etc vibe. The last watch felt a bit different though, and it was more because I took an interesting arc on the characters. Russell Crowe-who looks fantastic in this and […]
I’m not sure where it’s attributed, but “Luck is the result of preparation and opportunity.” When you break that statement down, it’s more interesting to me as I get older. A lot of people will define their lives by the choices they make-and how seriously they take those choices. Someone […]
I missed a post in September. I would like to say that I was too busy, and that might be true considering, but the real problem is that I probably forgot and during a lazy moment I could have posted. Anyway, this one is about art. I am trying to […]
There’s a multitude of sad songs out there. I don’t typically listen to lyrics, its way more often the melodies that move me emotionally, but there’s a few songs that will always have a weird place as a “sad song” in my eyes. “In my life” by the Beatles is […]
Again, I feel that sometimes life just leads you into places you’re meant to go or see. In this case, just strap in. I met this guy-Benny Goodman-when he was selling some camera lenses I was interested in. I got a good deal AND and interesting story about a 1951 […]
Before that last post about dying and stuff, I had been doing a ton of traveling. I actually said secretly to myself, “Self, you like traveling, wouldn’t it be great if you traveled a bit more?”. And the real answer is…I like traveling when there’s no responsibilities on the line. […]
I almost died. That’s not hyperbole, I mean literally. I stood probably at the altar if not kneeling before the final passage once again. It’s not the first time it’s actually happened to me. When I was 19 I was in a bad car accident. I collided with a milk […]
