Who we are is what we do. Isn’t it?
This is a struggle for a lot of people, it seems – is one defined by the work one does and the job one holds? Most people would probably say no, but I’m inclined to say sort of. Continue reading
The great epidemic of our time. I’m coining this phrase to describe the ridiculous thoughts that spew from the stewing brain matter of some of our elected officials: evolution is “just a theory,” the government is unconstitutional, CO2 is good for you, guns make you safer, prayer works, gay people are evil, etc, etc… Continue reading
Clifton Phifer Lee, a Betta fish from New York City, passed peacefully on the floor of his bowl on October 20th, 2014. He was at least several weeks over three years old.
Born sometime in late summer 2011 at a Petco on 4th Avenue, Cliff was named for his parents’ hero at the time, Cliff Lee of the Philadelphia Phillies. Cliff the Fish watched closely whenever Cliff the Pitcher was on the mound, though he became as distraught as everyone when the Phillies started being terrible again.
Some time after the end of the Iraq War, an Iraqi soldier fighting alongside American troops found a torn and tattered diary in an abandoned bunker.
Unable to read the English, he passed it on to his American counterparts, who delivered it to an Associate Press reporter.

Dear Diary,
I’ve gotten an acting job! Only 3 weeks out of drama school, I meet this guy today and he hired me on the SPOT!. I knew that acting would work out for me… everyone said I shouldn’t have quit the bathroom fixture thing and go to London. They said I was too old, they said acting is too hard and it’s only for attractive twenty-somethings…well HA! Here I am, just finished my first summer intensive and I have a real job!
It looks great…I’ll be living away from home for a while, but that’s the life of an actor, isn’t it? I’m really lucky to find such a great gig in the summer too. The downside is I’m going to have to go to Iraq, but the contract is open-ended! Everybody says I shouldn’t do it – they all said something about Iraq being dangerous and there might be a war or something – but I can’t let that hold me back. I mean, what’s more dangerous than being an actor?
