Being watched through a lens

Performing on stage does not scare me. I’m not sure it has ever scared me. I figure the reasons are as such: 1) I love attention, so I’m not afraid of having a room full of eyes on me; and 2) my early, care-free experiences on stage…

How I know that communism can’t work

“Warm showers for everyone,” I exclaimed the other day! It had been a few weeks since I could enjoy hot water in the shower before my morning commute. See, the people who run my building had just put in a new water heater but there was a problem with it. It couldn’t generate enough hot… Continue reading How I know that communism can’t work

I know this space isn’t usually used to rant about… Continue reading The difficulties of moving on

I have opinions on a lot of things. I spend my days coming up with opinions on things I previously held no opinion of. It doesn’t matter if it affects me, I need to have an opinion of whatever it is. I’m rarely coy when it comes to how I feel about things and really like… Continue reading It’s the rules!
