“People just love to bash LA. People say it’s so pretentious, so arrogant, so this and that. But it’s truly a wonderful place. You don’t have to go to the places where that stuff goes on. You don’t have to go to Beverly Hills, you don’t have to go to the parties. You can live [...]
I was at an engagement party over at The Parlor in Santa Monica a few weeks ago when I got “reacquainted with an acquaintance” from my UCLA days. We did the obligatory surfacey catch-up talk, which included where we lived now. He: West LA. Me: East of West LA. I told him my major cross-streets.

For the non-Californians out there, July 1st was the first day it became illegal to put a cell phone to your ear while driving. Sure, you can still look down at your phone and text. You can still scrutinize the screen of your phone and use GPS if you have it. (Heck, I still do [...]

Been awhile, but I’m back! I’ve been looking at life lately in an entirely different manner and the process has been truly detoxifying. Difficult, but good. So I’m going to be honest and say that this first post in awhile was kind of hard to compose, but the process is worth it. Life is meant to be continuous and you have to do [...]
My free cell phone came via FedEx yesterday. It’s a so-called Smart Phone. It’s no iPhone but you know, at 1000 monthly minutes, unlimited text and data free for 2 years, I’ll take it. (I figure the iPhone should be about in its 3rd generation cycle when I’m finally ready for it.)
Dear Research Panel [Person],
