If there’s one thing I have learned in my years of dealing with an ever-growing list of mental health challenges, its that so many of us deal with these same challenges to some degree. Some are more quiet about it, not wanting to upset the apple cart more than they have to. Some are very vocal about it, whether its to share struggles, educate and bring awareness or just scream for help without…

The Top Songs in Animated Film: Revisited
The Top Songs in Animated Film: Revisited
Back in 2014, I took on what has become, by far, the biggest project this blog – or any of its iterations – have tackled: To peruse the vast catalog of music presented in animated film and curate a list of the top 100 songs.
While the end result was a very rewarding experience for me, it became dated very quickly. More movies have been released with more songs to sing. Who I am as a person has…

Exit, the Warrior: A Farewell to the King
Exit, the Warrior: A Farewell to the King
“Suddenly, you were gone, from all the lives you left your mark upon.”
— Neil Peart, 1952-2020
You never truly expect your heroes to die.
When I learned that Neil Peart had passed away on January 7th after an extended battle with brain cancer, I was struck numb. I am an incredibly emotional person even in my calmest moments, but hearing the news was almost paralyzing. It didn’t seem like…

Chapter 1 - The Child
Chapter 1 – The Child
The fire was dying.
Quelth wrinkled his nose and poked the fading embers with the end of his staff, but after a brief glow, the flames flickered and dimmed. Sighing his frustration out through his bared teeth, he sat back against the tree, tapped the end of his staff against the ground and spoke a short incantation under his breath. Within moments, the fire roared to life again.
“Is it sleep…

Somewhere I Belong
When you start seeking out the things you love, you never know quite where it will go. Will an interest become a hobby? Will it bloom into a passion? An obsession? How will it change you?
These are all questions I genuinely asked myself when i chose to get back into the theatrical arenaseveral years ago. It had been a good 20 years since I even triedto set foot on a stage. Part of it was…

Moments in Time: A look at my favorite movie scenes
Moments in Time: A look at my favorite movie scenes
Although I consider myself a fan of most art forms, I’ve made no secret that my deepest connection is with the medium of film.
From the black-and-white lo-fi classics of the 1930s to the super-kinetic superhero movies we see today, I can usually find something in every genre that I connect with. Film is a feast for all senses, and my thoughts echo those of Brad Bird, who has famously said that…

I wish you'd never remembered me.
I wish you’d never remembered me.
For a while I didn’t know who you were. You were a concept. I knew your name, but not your face. But I didn’t care.
I had a mother. A father. A family. To me, you were my mother’s second husband and the man who gave me half of my DNA. Past that, you were nothing but a ghost.
When my natural curiosity overcame my apathy, I was told that you’d left me in my mother’s custody out of the wishes of…

Can you ‘rebrand’ a free, personal blog space? It’s hard to call it a brand, I guess, since there’s nothing I’m really trying to market. Even though I share my posts when I write them, I mostly do it to get stuff off my chest, and if others get something out of them, that’s great.
Being able to say that is, in itself, is a sign of my growth as a person. As recently as 6 months ago, my various…

I don’t blog very much anymore. To be honest, its been a long while since I posted with any sort of regularity, but over time, the reasons why have changed.
At first, it was a lack of time. Then it was a lack of things to say. Now? Its a lack of confidence.
Not necessarily a lack of confidence in my ability to write or communicate – though that’s part of it – but moreso a lack of confidence that…

Life on the Razor's Edge: The Spectre of BPD
Life on the Razor’s Edge: The Spectre of BPD
When I last spoke to you all (and its been a while), I talked about depression, both in general terms and on a more personal level. Since then, my wife and I have moved back to Tallahassee, FL, and I’m back working for the State Government.
We both dived back into theatre, and I went back to seeing a professional to help determine with more specificity what was actually going on inside my brain.

My first friend. My enemy.
My first friend. My enemy.
Last week, I was sitting at home fighting through a rather stark episode of depression. As I sat there, the particulars of what depression means – at least when it affects me – started to crystallize. There were markers. There were trends. There were things I was immediately able to identify as outliers in my thought process. In short, after dealing with this for as long as I have, it’s…

I got called a race traitor and a "n***** lover" today because i am wearing this shirt. I love that @hamiltonmusical is so well known, but it sickens me that its being used as a tool of hate and ignorance.
Everything in the universe is either a potato or not a potato.
Then there's sweet potatoes.

No Apple Too ‘Big’ – Tips from a first time visitor to New York City
As a late Christmas/early Valentine’s Day/early First Anniversary Gift to each other, my wife and I went on a trip to New York City over the long weekend surrounding Martin Luther King’s Birthday. The main thrust of the trip was our visit to The Richard Rodgers Theatre to see Hamilton (an experience that deserves its own post later on), but for this recollection, I want to talk about the trip…

I had something to say
This post (and follow-up discussion) got me blocked on Facebook by a fellow caucasian when i disagreed with her assertion that she's ok with this rant as long as i don't take offense when some "divinely inspired" artist decides to cast Nicole Kidman as Malcolm X sometime in the future.
I can't make this shit up.
