Mission Statement

the project of becoming a human being isnt complete until we die.

If I Were a Woman

If I were a woman, I think I would take great consolation from the fact that throughout history men have constructed whole religions and systems of power to control my kind. I think it would make me feel powerful, because no god has ever been invented to frighten weak beings into compliance.

the truth doesn't require your belief.

Where It All Started

I can pinpoint the exact moment the idea of me being a father occurred to me for the first time. It happened when I was watching a preview copy of Grosse Pointe Blank after midnight when I was an usher at Showcase Cinemas Eastgate (R.I.P.) in 1997. Aside from being a classic all around, my kids can probably thank John Cusack and this particular scene on some level for their very existence.

Pure Terror

I meant to hit the Google icon on my phone’s Home page, but accidentally hit the Bing icon instead. I audibly gasped and my co-workers turned and looked at me with concern. I have never hit the back arrow on my screen so fast in my life.
