Why Writer’s Block is Bullshit

Write about your struggles. Because if you can’t write, you’re struggling. And it’s probably not something pretty, either. You’re not writing about IT because you don’t want to face IT. And, yet… that is the key to the door that you’ve been hanging around, pacing, for what seems like forever-and-a-half. It doesn’t mean…

My New Mantra: “No Big Deal”

Over Thanksgiving, while waiting for lights to turn green, I read an article by one of my good friends, Ari Moshe Wolfe, an evolutionary astrologist and intuitive guide. Though I usually find his writings profound, this particular one (read article here) struck me deeper than usual . The message, NBD: It’s No Big Deal. I’m what we might…

How I Became an Emotionally Closed-Off Man

I forgot that I had my own “me, too” story. And that’s quite telling. I was in junior high school. I was young for my age, and short and scrawny. Not an auspicious beginning to an otherwise already difficult period for most young people. I was in “P.E.” class–which was coed. We were all in…

The Magic of the Open Road

I slept in my car on the top of a hill on the outskirts of Albuquerque last night. In my head, I was somewhat worried. The guy I met (and partied with) at Marble Brewery was cautioning me against it. Where does this fear come from? It’s like the phantom “boogie man” of my…

The Case for “Zero Tolerance” of Racism from Police Departments

I’m sick of being upset. Today, I posted a meme: Important PSA: Every police department in the U.S. is to be considered racist until further notice. #zerotolerance Enough is enough. I refuse to watch blatant racism from our men and women in blue, followed by what equates to slaps on the wrist and lip…
