I had a little update conversation with a friend today. He’s been around for a while now, since senior year of high school, really. We’d kind of known each other before that, but just in passing. He and I actually double-dated our way through our senior Prom with our at-the-time girlfriends. Dinner at Gorgenias, pictures
When I was sixteen, I thought it was a good idea to change my name. You know, to be an actor or a writer I thought I had to have a more interesting title to my life. That’s what happened in Castle, staring Natan Fillion. Before the mystery novelist turned semi-homicide detective, Fillion’s character Richard
Today was a sort of full day. Starting out, I woke up to feed cats as they walked all over my face, begging for attention. Good start, right? Then, to coffee – black. Because I love to burn my mouth first thing in the morning. Finally, I got around to the actual reason that I
I had the pleasure of seeing some good friends friends today. Don’t worry, we kept quite a large space between us; as the social distancing dictates. The few of us stopped by another friends house, keeping outside the whole time. On their front lawn they have a sign that reads “You are now entering the
Governor Whitmer has extended the shelter in place order to match the current state-of-emergency date. This isn’t the first set-back. And hell, it might not be the last. So what are you going to do about it? Are you just going to sit around and do nothing? Because if that’s the case, I gotta say,
I’ve been struggling for words. There’s something that I feel as though I should say for this big day. Something fantastical and grand! But there’s nothing there. Nothing to surpass any sort of expectation that someone may have set by now. After fifty days, you can’t be surprised. I’m not. So I hope you liked
I used to do this dopey little news show on the internet. For a while it was called “Stinko News,” then I changed it to “A News Show, A Show About The News.” The original name brought a lot of confusion on what exactly was going on. And I never really felt like it was
Okay! It’s high time I do something like this. Even during a pandemic-based quarantine, there is plenty that you can be doing to support your community. There’re things to keep your mind occupied instead of thinking about the void. We’ve been in this long enough that we’re all adapting. Come on in and see what’s
I started writing a new script. The opening scene has one of the few characters submerged in a bathtub in the middle of his backyard. That was all that I really had in my mind as I began writing; that image. The plan is to go page for page with a friend of mine. For
Yes, it’s almost midnight. Yes, I may have forgotten until just two minutes ago when I was about to be in bed that I had this little daily project. But it is NOT past midnight yet. So as long as I can get this out in the next half an hour, I’ll be okay. Fortunately,
“How does the Gold melt into the waves? Night after night I watch it happen, but every morning it comes back around and reforms itself into a ball in the sky that seems to float from an invisible source. Like the birds that fly alone, I ask myself these questions. What is that Gold?” These
The Space One Alright. Here we go. *taps monitor* Is thing thing on? It’s me. Mick. M-Mantey. Uh. Mick Mantey. I’m streaming to you from…somewhere? I can’t tell. I took a star. Then a second. This one to the left. I could tell that much. But somewhere past the fourth asteroid, I lost track of
