Coming to terms with where you are, where you’re going, and where you’ll never be.
I hate self-help articles.
And their casual — and usually unsolicited — advice.
Each human on this splendid yet chaotic planet is uniquely different. What works for one person might not work for another. …
I’ll continue supporting far-fetched productions about interesting characters navigating the big city, but it’s time to cast myself in that role.
Since moving back home in late July, I’ve gotten the same questions… What are your plans? What are you going to do?
These aren’t easy questions to answer. I, after all, spent seven years in California fending off the “when are you moving back home” questions, only to move home…
At least the premise of the first two episodes are — and for freaks like me
During my thirty years on this perfectly chaotic planet, I’ve only wanted to be two things: 1.) a writer and 2.) a vampire.
The tenth chapter of the franchise, American Horror Story: Double Feature, couldn’t have come soon enough. …
The Apple TV+ comedy is brimming with optimism and nostalgia (for me)
I don’t know a lot about fútbol — or, as we Americans call it, soccer.
And I’m stubborn when it comes to watching shows and movies I can’t relate to. …
Home didn’t change, but I did… And that’s a problem.
I thought I’d never leave Southern California.
But like all things in life, time can change one’s perspective.
To be honest, I knew for a long time that I didn’t want to live in California forever. Shortly after I moved to Irvine, CA for a sports writing job in 2014…
While inadvertently transporting me back to my childhood
When the 2019 romantic comedy Last Christmas made its way to HBO last summer, I was thrilled that the holiday rom-com gifted viewers with Christmas in July.
Christmas isn’t perfect. For a long time, the merry holiday was more trouble than treat, as I had to decide which parent to…
And more and more and more
For as long as I can remember, I’ve never been satisfied.
Okay, that’s not entirely true. I achieve my goals and am happy for a few days, weeks, sometimes even months — but the hunger always returns, and I’m always left wanting a bigger piece of the literary pie.
I…
I can’t help but think about my hometown while watching the HBO Max series.
Dark comedy series Made For Love features a husband who has implanted a chip inside his unknowing wife’s head. This chip is supposed to bring two people closer together. …
I visited my family in Colorado for the first time in 16 months.
I love writing about movies and TV shows. I enjoy making statements through the characters… as the creators of the shows make statements through the characters. It allows me to unpack my thoughts, feelings, opinions, grievances, and angst — without writing a full-blown personal essay (which I also enjoy). …
The HBO Max comedy-drama tells a deeper tale, yet nails the writer’s dilemma.
Writers love to talk about their trials and tribulations.
Heck, even movies portray how hard it is to write for a living, that writer’s block buries anyone who puts fingers to keys.
