This is a test of Flickr functionality for a different website that I’m working on updating. The photos are not related to that site (like I said, it’s a test). I promise, I’ll post a catch-up really soon…
Okay, so once again, I’ve let this go far too long without an update. Guilty as charged! So what have I done this summer? Gallop around Europe, work a fishing boat in Alaska, move to L.A. and pursue my acting career? Nah… I drove a cab. That’s right, you heard me… When graduation was nigh, [...]
So… true enough… my graduation has come and gone. I have officially completed by B.A. in Theatre at Arizona State University.How do I feel about this? I’m honestly not sure. I think I’m happy to see it done. Everyone keeps saying it’s quite an accomplishment for anyone. I agree, but I think that’s largely from [...]
Graduation is so freakin’ close, I can taste it.Freedom!!Poverty!!Oh, yeah… almost forgot about that. The umpteen thousand dollars of student loans hanging over my head. The need to find a job most likely not in my field of study. Dang it.
I came across an article by David Gergen today. You can read it here, but what he said really struck me as true. The Democratic candidates are spending a lot of time quiblling over personal attacks and alleged racist comments rather than dealing with the pressing issues of this nation.

Too overexcited? Too bad! My personal website is finally posted and online. As I go, I’ll fill out the functionality of it and hopefully add some extra features not currently available. But check it out: The Roost 2.0 Feel free to let me know what you think of the site. Constructive criticism is always welcome…
And now, the exciting conclusion: “Hello, Brian?” the voice on the other end asked. I cleared my throat and replied in the affirmative. “This is Milward Simpson over at the Horse Barn Dinner Theatre. The reason I was calling was to thank you for your audition and that I’d like to offer you—“ “I’ll take [...]
Part 3 of my continuing saga to become an actor: “I’m gonna be an actor,” I declared, my face beaming. Awkward pause. My mom and grandmother looked at each other for a long moment in surprise. Their eyes locked, as if formulating a response to my statement via telepathy. Then my grandmother preceded her thoughts [...]
I continue with the tale: This probably needs a little background, doesn’t it? With my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s, I was growing in the infancy of the phenomenon known as cable television. Pay channels like HBO were a brand new concept. Not that we had it, of course; it was far [...]
