I want to curl up into a ball and sleep for a week. After finishing up with Purge, the latest show to hit the stage in Fort McMurray and the first one to run post-COVID, I find myself exhausted. But it's more than that. I feel worn - raw. As if someone is about to… Continue reading An Act of Darkness
This morning I opened my eyes, looked at the clock, and sighed. 5 AM. My alarm was still almost two hours away. My head hit the pillow again, but I didn't go back to sleep. All the things I'm doing, all the things I have yet to do this week, were bouncing around in my… Continue reading My Laundry List
Every night, I close my eyes and get lost in the endless wonder of my mind. I slip into a world, not unlike this one, but one very much its own. Each time is different; every world, unique. And the things I see there, such wonderous things, are difficult to explain. I've visited strange lands… Continue reading In My Dreams
What do you do when everything in your life seems to go wrong? When the whole world appears to be against you, and you feel trapped? It can be scary. It can be demoralizing. It can be paralyzing. But it's ultimately human. I've found myself reflecting a bit on the last ten years of my… Continue reading On Hold
The bigger the lie, the easier it is to believe. At least, that's what they say... I realized a while ago that nothing could be farther from the truth. Back in 2015, I had managed to get a part in a stage production of The Odd Couple. The play centered around two incredibly mismatched best friends… Continue reading The Truth About the Lie
"What should I do?" Now there's a question! And a loaded one at that. There's no simple answer either. Far from it, in fact. But it's a question that gets you thinking. Truth be told, I had several topics I wanted to write about today, but I was having a hard time deciding (what a… Continue reading The Mirror
I'm weird. I'll admit it. I've got a touch of crazy in me. I'm strange. I do and say odd things. I make bizarre facial expressions that confuse people. I'll crack terrible jokes that'll make you roll your eyes (or good ones if you're a person with taste). I'll give an opinion, sometimes believing the… Continue reading To Be
We are all time travellers. There. I said it. Am I crazy? Maybe. But hear me out before you judge me. And before your imagination goes out of control, no, I don't mean like Back to the Future where you hop into a hyper-marketed, underperforming, stainless steel toaster on wheels, plug in your preferred date,… Continue reading Just a Matter of Time
Today, I am a loser. It's a hard thing to admit, but there you have it. There are times when you are simply forced to face the fact that there are some things you cannot control. And it has nothing to do with fate or destiny. I really don't believe in either. We all have… Continue reading What It Means to Lose
I remember a time when the world seemed to be so much bigger than it is today. A time when the world was filled with endless possibilities and a sense of magic. What happened? How did we get here? When I was young, I remember reading books about clouds, lava, trees, lightning, and oceans. I… Continue reading The Absence of Wonder
