As one of those guys who really likes to watch movies, I have a certain fascination with finding out what the creators of my favorite movies think about the movie they had a hand in making. Doesn't matter if it's an actor or someone whose work was all done behind the camera. This leads to … Continue reading The Press Junket

Stephen King’s Community
Well, it was bound to happen. And I've done it again. I had another really bizarre dream. Only this time I wasn't blissfully married to Jennifer Aniston. This time I dreamed about a movie that I haven't even seen yet. My dream played out as if I were experiencing It: Chapter Two in the shoes of … Continue reading Stephen King’s Community
So How Do We Feel About Vlogging?
It's funny... Once upon a time, I followed someone's YouTube channel who refused to call what she did vlogging. She didn't shorten it at all. Her channel was a video blog. She felt like the word "vlog" seemed, in some way, vulgar. I mean, they do share several letters. I guess I can see it. … Continue reading So How Do We Feel About Vlogging?
Not What I Meant This Post to Be About…
I need to get back to blogging again. Y'all... I've kinda missed it. On the other hand... I've kinda not missed it at all. Don't get me wrong, I still love having a blog. I'm sure I'll still love writing on this blog as soon as I'm able to really get back into the swing … Continue reading Not What I Meant This Post to Be About…
Could We Be Lazier?
Y'all... I think that we, as a society, are in trouble. When we look at human history, for the most part, we see technology advancing very slowly. Suddenly, we hit the back half of the 19th century and it seems like our technological advances begin to grow exponentially. Don't worry, I'm not trying to downplay … Continue reading Could We Be Lazier?
These Dreams
I've been having some memorable and vivid dreams lately. Now, I have a tendency to go through phases in my sleep where I'll go a month or so not remembering any of my dreams. And then I'll have a week where I have one or two dreams per night that I can very easily recall. … Continue reading These Dreams
Like a (Poorly Tailored, Really Tiny) Glove
It's not often that I find myself in a situation where I need to get dressed up these days. I work in an elementary school where, at worst, the dress code is business casual. I attend a church that is very "come as you are." If I were to show up in a suit, I'd … Continue reading Like a (Poorly Tailored, Really Tiny) Glove
…And the Home of the Brave
Kids, did you know that we have a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Boston Red Sox right here in southwest Virginia? Salem has had a minor league baseball team for as long as I can remember. I’m sure they existed long before that, too. When I was a kid, they were the Salem … Continue reading …And the Home of the Brave
Unexpected Provision
Quick show of hands... How many of you, out there, spend time in prayer? I'm not just talking about when you're in the car and you nearly miss sideswiping or rear-ending someone in traffic and you shout a short, "Thank God I missed that car!" I mean... How many of you sit down and purposefully … Continue reading Unexpected Provision
Three Things
I've got a few things on my mind and none of them fit together. So this isn't going to be a neat and tidy little blog post with one coherent thought. No, there will be several coherent thoughts. First things first... I quit the Whole30. I know. I'm a quitter. How can I show my … Continue reading Three Things
