I have had an overflow of thoughts and ideas since studying the life and work of William S Burroughs recently, and I will attempt to form them into a clear and concise record here. I am doing some research for my 2nd book of the ‘United Zones of America’ trilogy and the events mostly occur…

Necessity is the Mother of Invention as they say. That’s why people who have had the hardest lives are often the most resourceful. People who have had to survive on the mean streets of life either thrive or get pushed to the wayside, and everyone knows this. But in times of abundance it’s hard to…

I’ve known I’m a bit of a goofball at heart since I was a much younger man, and I’ve known that being a goofball doesn’t get you much respect. So I’ve kept quiet much of the time, especially in mixed company, when I’m trying to fit in and be accepted. So I adopted the phrase…

Today I was reminded of the fact that the first computer I ever bought, a first generation iMac, was from Kapple’s Computers which used to occupy my building at Green Root Gallery. This fact was one of those examples that make me wonder if it’s just a coincidence or some sort of providence. Either way…

I took the time to go see the new Superman movie the other day, and although I have some mixed opinions about it overall, it did have a lot of optimistic messaging. I’ve always found it interesting that Superman recharges with our yellow sun, which shows you the power of light and optimism. The thing…

I may be in a whole other universe, but to me the spice of life is… freedom. But freedom seems to be a fragile thing lately. Do we surrender our free will for the greater good, or do we hold on to our one and only life here on Earth and do it “Our Way”.…

The scene from Pulp Fiction where Samuel L Jackson is preaching to the young crooks comes to mind sometimes, and sometimes I feel like a wandering pilgrim like he became at the end of the movie. As far back as I can remember I’ve always tried to “Do no harm” to others, like the Doctor’s…

I slept fairly well last night but still woke up feeling a little funky. I went for my regular bike ride and gym exercise but lacked that spark that really gets you motivated. I’ll just have to chalk it up to being another one of my gray days, you know it’s temporary so you just…
