There were a host of things I would like to talk about this week, from favorite road trip destinations to recent movie reviews, but as I spent 19 hours in and out of airports on Wednesday, the temptation was just too strong to avoid adding to my growing collection of...

This week I was all set to write a review of The Way, a fantastic movie I saw over the weekend. However, two things conspired to force me to push the review back a week. The first? I am catching a plane home to Tennessee later this afternoon and have a ton to pull off...

That's right folks, this week you get two pictures, the reason for that being twofold. First, I couldn't decided which I liked better/which one better encapsulates the event. So I used them both. Apologies. Second, I think both images come together well to better...

As I mentioned in my weekly updates, I spend a lot of time reading. If Im neck-deep in one of my own projects I tend to ween off a bit, especially from writer's w/ strong voices, just to preserve my own in my mind. (Imagine trying to write new music while listening to...

Many of my friends swear that you can tell a lot about a person by the type of music they have on their ipod. I personally am a bit dubious of this, as I don't think you can accurately depict anybody just by a handful of musical title taken at a random. I myself have...

Of all the random characters that make my life what it is, none are as beloved to me as those that lie on the extremes. To the far left I have people like Abe and Paddy, who seem to have taken pessimism to a whole new level. They dabble in biting sarcasm in a way that...

Not until it was recently pointed out to me did I realize that it has been far, far too long since I commented on some of my favorite people watching escapades in the space. (And by comment, I clearly mean eviscerated...) Armed only with a steely resolve to right this...

One of the many joys of living in Montana are huckleberries. Small, round, ranging in color from dark blue to almost purple, they have the appearance of looking a lot like a blueberry. They grow close to the ground on small bushes and plants, and have to be picked by...

Most folks that know me know I don't do well sitting inside, especially when it's nice out. Seeing as how I live in Honolulu, a city where all one needs to be a credible weatherman is a laundry list of adjectives for the word "sunny", I don't stay inside much....

Aloha kakou! After receiving a few more not-so-subtle comments from readers ‘suggesting’ I ditch the reflective thinking, the creative lists, the movie reviews, etc., I decided to take their advice. This week, in keeping w/ what was requested, I promise to do only...

I have recently befriended someone that is perpetually alluding to "Her Five." After about the tenth time she did so, I asked what the heck she was talking about. Apparently, most people walk around with their five, a working list of their celebrity crushes. She also...

First and foremost, allow me to apologize profusely for being tardy in posting the last couple of weeks. This time of year (i.e., State legislative session), my day job becomes insanely busy. Couple w/ an admittedly over-ambitious writing calendar, the opportunities...
