My thoughts on Life, Writing, Hollywood, Children, My Neighbors, Love & Growing Up
Minus the times my brothers were active in the military my family has always been together for Christmas. It's my favorite time of year. These are my people, my tribe, my kin. Who else is going to finish my mom's tequila and facetime every single person in my phone? It's truly the best...for about 4... Continue Reading →
I'm going to be one hundred with you. I woke up this morning and not a single word was written for this week. This is not typically my M.O. I wish I could tell you I've been busy spending my nights as a vigilante, trying to make this world a better place, but I'm afraid... Continue Reading →
I'm not exactly sure how we got here but every December we convince children across the world that there is a dude, most likely a diabetic, with a closet full of red and white pants suits who knows when you're awake. It's the only story where a strange old man with a beard in costume... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year. Whatever color cup you are drinking from you're also credit card debt deep into the season of giving. It's also that time of year where I actually wish I could go back in time and berate myself for ever thinking money was a stupid gift. I would like to personally... Continue Reading →
There is a lot in this world that I miss. Some of it is constant in a way I've learned to carry on without it, some wavers in severity, some rarely if at all and some shakes me to my bones at the thought of it. How it all boils down is beyond my jurisdiction... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I was forced to endure an hour long Uber ride to the sound of Christmas tunes. I repeat, AN HOUR. Of all the Ubers in Los Angeles, of course I would end up in the one who is all too excited to get his joy to the world on. Many of... Continue Reading →
I've found myself in a lot of conversations about love lately. Where is it? How do you keep it? Does it exist? Why haven't I found it? Who has it? Can you buy it? There's all kinds of love out there. There's the love you have for your friends and family, the love you share... Continue Reading →
I was looking through my high school yearbook the other day because I'm a nostalgic masochist and I noticed something beyond the fact that somebody should have introduced me to tweezers sooner. There's this phrase written several dozen times: Never Change. Huh? Forgive me, but what a stupid thing to say. And yet it's scribbled... Continue Reading →
It's amazing how many interactions I've had in this lifetime. I've come across a lot of people. Some people are significant, others have said significant things and many have proven themselves to be quite insignificant. Some I stay in contact with regularly. Others have turned into friends on social media. Some I speak to less... Continue Reading →
Once upon many times, I was told to go to my room. Shocker. This particular time my mother, #lakme, had tossed a Nancy Drew book at me and I wasn't allowed to come out until I finished it. I was horrified. I was 7. Oh, if I could only say reading was the biggest horror... Continue Reading →
