Five Year Plans

New Blog: Five Year Plans http://goo.gl/W0mkNo

"I had a job interview at an insurance company once, and the lady said 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' I said, 'Celebrating the fifth year anniversary of you asking me this question!'" - Mitch Hedberg I love this joke. Not just because it's funny, but because it made me ask some important…

Photo by Anthony Waldron Dear reader, Have you ever had a ghost notification? When you feel the phone buzz, you look down, only to find a black mirror staring back? It's a scary moment. Not because Siri might be possessed by the demon known as Jikininki, but because you could have a sickness, like m…

A Sense of Security

New Blog: A Sense of Security http://goo.gl/F2V01b

Years ago, I received a discouraging email from someone I know. His email was full of serious talk, suggesting I go back to college and look for a job with a sense of security. Pointing out the unpredictable nature of show business, how it couldn't promise a steady financial return. This deeply affe…

The "If You Do What You Love" Myth

New Blog: The "If You Do What You Love" Myth http://goo.gl/LwdOfB

To whom it may concern, "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." This phrase was hammered into my head all throughout grade school. But I no longer think it's true, because I'm just now starting to question it. I'm questioning most things now, which I've always held to be tru…

The "If X, Then Y" game

New Blog: The "IF X, THEN Y" Game: http://goo.gl/zV0mMS

I've been playing this game for as long as I can remember. -- If I made more money, then… If I had the time, then… If I get that job, then… If I meet this person, then… If I read that book, then… If I find a rehearsal space, then… If I knew a director, then… If I took that course, then… If I had mor…

Becoming Frank Abagnale

New Blog: Becoming Frank Abagnale http://goo.gl/3AUCVw

"I learned early that class is universally admired. Almost any fault, sin or crime is considered more leniently if there’s a touch of class involved." - Frank Abagnale: Catch Me If You Can I'm not advocating a life of crime, but who wouldn't want to be Frank Abagnale for a day? Minus the jail time,…

How To Like People

New Blog: How To Like People http://goo.gl/4DXWRH

Sometimes, I'll find myself not liking someone for no good reason. Maybe it's their clothing, music choice, or because they popping their gum. Sometimes, I won't like someone, and I won't even know why! Hopefully, you can relate. When you live in a big city, the my mind is on high alert for who’s o…

Always. Should. Never.

New Blog: Always. Should. Never. http://goo.gl/pYtTmu

THINGS I ALWAYS DO, EVERYDAY. 1. Read. Lately, more fiction. My recent favorite is "Stranger in a Strange Land", by Robert Heinlein. If you like existentialism, or science fiction, or good writing, or you're a human, or martian, you might like it too. 2. Drink coffee. The headaches start at 4:00pm…

On Being Thought Foolish & Stupid

New blog post: http://goo.gl/W6zkC7

If we're looking to improve our lives, some advice I like is to be ok with being thought stupid. When I heard this, it not only felt right, but familiar. After some digging around on google, I found its origin: “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish & stupid.” - Epictetus (Stoic P…

When it comes to conspiracy theories, I'm always impressed with the belief that we can be so well planned, organized and not just a bunch of sh*tty secret keepers.

An Evening with a Mentalist December 31, 2014 When people find out I’m a Mentalist they ask a few questions, “What’s a mentalist? Did someone teach you? Are you a witch? What’s that burning smell?” My response became short and boring after answering those questions a few hundred times. But recently,…
