Alright, so January of 2016 left me wondering what my next steps will be in my career. To my surprise, the toy store stayed open for one more year. The landlord couldn’t find another tenant. I was annoyed. Here I was, trying to figure out how I would pay my bills and take on odd…
#274 shifting through life
The beauty of life. Who was the first to utter those words? I am sure it wasn’t me. It leads back to anything original anymore? Or, are we living in a world where the same concepts are thrown around in hopes of a different reaction or maybe in hopes of the same response? Have we…
#273 garbage
Describe the last difficult "goodbye" you said. Yesterday, I was driving to work, and a thought came into my mind. My mother commented the day before about some women in our extended family.

Bla Bla Land: Chapter 39
Judd Apatow was a simple man. He wore simple beige pants with a black polo shirt that was loosely fitted. He was cool. I couldn't believe I was in the room with him. Let me back up a little. It was my first time at the Sony lot in Culver City. It was a cloudy,…

Bla Bla Land: Chapter 38
I made a good amount of mistakes at Barry Katz Entertainment. I messed up Barry’s salad many times. He told me that the chef knew him and would make it the way he wanted, but the chef had no idea who I was or what I wanted. This led to a screwed-up salad. He had…
