It doesn't feel much like Christmas. At least, that's how I've been feeling. December seems to have rushed by in a flash. I've only managed to put up the Christmas tree last week, and now here we are. People just seem constantly tired and irritable. I can't say I'm any better. Maybe it's still COVID,… Continue reading A Silent Night
So...you're having a bad day. It happens to all of us. You're tired. You didn't sleep well. Someone yelled at you at work. You're distracted. You're depressed. You're in a funk. There are so many possible reasons...so many combinations of possible reasons... I get it. And then, people begin to notice. You'd think that would… Continue reading You’ve Got it Bad?
Somebody hates me. Regardless of what I do, say, or how I feel, there is somebody out there that hates me.
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
