I love opinions. I like asking people their opinions and hearing or reading what their response is. One of the prerequisites for being my friend is that you’ll be asked “What do you think about…?” any number of subjects. Even absurd viewpoints can be downright entertaining. Just think about it.
My cereal habit started early on, and it never completely went away. I recall my grandpa coming to visit us in the Philippines. He introduced me to the idea of blending two cereals in the same bowl, but explained the rule of healthy cereal with healthy cereal. The sugary or
It was a long time ago, well, six years ago that I got curious about the documentary “Tangled Up in Bob: Searching for Bob Dylan.” Writers can affect our lives. If you are a writer, other writers can certainly have an influence on you. Natalie Goldberg wrote many books, but
I’ve given Howard Jackson Curry’s second EP “Neon Circus” a number of listens, including while driving through his native Florida. I had the chance to sit down with Howard Jackson Curry at a studio in Jacksonville and he described his inner pull to write songs: “Well, I think anyone who

It was my late, incredible friend Ben who introduced me to The Savage Nation, the radio show hosted by the fiery, encyclopedic, and believe it or not sensitive Dr. Savage, the foremost purveyor of “Psychological Nudity.” Through the years his broadcasts and books posed illuminating questions. I’ve come to liken
The Sunday afternoon after Thanksgiving was cold, dreary, wet. Perhaps subconsciously, I put on Van Morrison’s latest album “Accentuate the Positive.” It’s Van’s second album in a row of covers. After his “Moving on Skiffle,” Van decided to knock out this record of mostly rock and roll classics. The result?
It’s been said that the times that we’re happiest are when we forget about ourselves. For a couple of hours in the evening of October 7th, I didn’t have a care in the world. Seeing Jerry Seinfeld’s second performance in Boston was an experience I’d been yearning for. You see,
Is there any way to make a film or book more appealing than a coordinated effort to discredit it? Maybe it’s the way I’m wired, but my suspicion that Sound of Freedom might be a great movie or even an important one was perhaps heightened by some downright bizarre articles
