And I'm officially SAG eligible as of today. And yes, it feels good. I just wrapped my first full length Indie that should make it to most indie film houses! Who's up for grabbing beers and heading to The Angelika Film Center when it comes to NYC??
If anyone's curious, it's a film based on a true story of 2 runaway slaves in Virginia in... Read More
Good god, I got Iced a few times last night and man am I paying for it this morning.
A friend of mine had a housewarming in Brooklyn last night and, as a lovely surprise, no one told me we were playing a game I haven't played since... Read More
Dead? Me? No, but it might seem that way to some...
Good God where did all the time go? One second it was February and I was prepping for surgery, the next it was halfway through August. A lot has happened in the last 6 months (my god!) but I'll try to keep it short just in case anyone cares to read.
Oy, a lot has happened since the new year. The story below is an update on my medical situation that I kinda kept to myself. It can be a little gross but if you're curious, read on.
Some of you know already, but back in November I discovered I had a cyst on my vocal folds, which was causing me to lose my voice daily... Read More
I got your message and I'll be adding you on AIM. Also, what kind of insulin do you use? (My dad is diabetic, and has been since he was in his early 20's.. late onset juvenile diabetes) Beef and pork, or synthetic?
And how did you feel when you switched?
Over the Christmas holidays while I was visiting in NW-Ontario I realized that my dad's leg cramps, general disorientation/slow thinking, crankiness/inability to control his sugar levels, stomach upset, chronic and debilitating back pain were all caused by him taking synthetic insulin.
He was forced into taking the synthetic stuff after his family doctor told him that they weren't making the beef and pork stuff anymore. Turns out they still are because up to 1/4 people have mild, moderate, or even severe issues with the synthetic stuff. My dad had no problems with his diabetes for over 30 years until he switched.
It was five years I spent without my father. It took about six months for him to sink into chronic pain and necessary daily opiate use. It's so nice to have an upbeat conversation with him on the phone... one where he's all snappy again. I like that he can walk places and doesn't rely on pain medication to get through the day, you know?
Anyways, when I find out someone is taking insulin I like to ask them whether they're taking synthetic insulin or not (chances are that they do), and whether they're feeling worse than when they were taking the beef and pork stuff. If you can, too.. please pass this on. My dad has mentioned it to a number of people who have been using the other kind and many are feeling better already.
Someone sucking on your fingers is almost always a good thing...
...unless you're at work and you don't know the person.
So I worked on New Year's Eve and it was quite the shit show as anyone in New York knows. My bar was 10-deep and the waves kept coming. At one point Douchebag #1 starts ignoring his girlfriend and she starts getting bored. About... Read More

Pennsylvania is the darkest state known to FUCKING man! If you're from PA, please move because I'm about to call in a military favor* and have it blown off the map. Good god.
So, in case you don't know, I'm originally from Detroit.** Well this year, our lovely friends at the airlines not only wanted to charge me $450 for a flight to Detroit, but... Read More
You know the superstition where you hold your breath while going through a tunnel? That is what i want to do whenever I go through PA... but im afraid of passing out behind the wheel.
For whatever reason, I always feel the need to write when I'm sad. This makes for a very depressing blog I think. Therefore, I am going to try and make a conscious effort to write when I'm happy as well. Or bored. Like now for instance. I'm bored. I just bought a new Blu-Ray DVD player and am impatiently waiting for it to download a... Read More
Disaster strikes and I am not getting up quick this time. I've been collaborating with a friend for two years on a book series. It initially started with a basic short story we wanted to write out to get our creative sides working again. As we began to co-write it, it grew and grew and grew and before we knew it, we had an...

My job has a gentleman's soccer team and I played for the first time with them yesterday. It's been 8 years since I played soccer competitively and f-ck am I out of shape! haha. Holy shit I thought I might die a few times. It was good to know I can still compete skills-wise but as for the sprinting and the running... Read More
Ha! I played soccer in college and have been thinking of joining a team up here, unfortunately I think I would probably end up gasping and dying. We'll see, maybe next fall.
And yes, it feels good. I just wrapped my first full length Indie that should make it to most indie film houses! Who's up for grabbing beers and heading to The Angelika Film Center when it comes to NYC??
I honestly don't know what I would do. I would probably say something though. I'm mouthy like that.
