Freedom to live, freedom to screw up

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the choices I make in life. When I was a pastor, I could do nothing but portray the correct image. Much of it was genuine, but there were often times where I knew I was altering my behavior because of my position. Some feel that this is the [...]

Wired News: Rough Reception for DNA Law I am glad, extremely glad that the ACLU is taking this to court, but I am not optimistic at their chances of succeeding. I have yet to talk to someone who voted for this proposition who understood that it applied to those who were arrested and not just [...]

The show I’m in right now sold out the first weekend! That never happens for the “B” show. It was great. For more information, go to the Chance Theater website. I am, of course, acting under my professional name for this show. I don’t post it in the blog any more because of search engines… [...]

Pornography, Sexual Addiction, and Kinsey

Saturday, November 20th, 2004

Wired News: Internet Porn: Worse than Crack? This is a very interesting article, for those of you so inclined to dig into one of the social no-no’s we’re so accustomed to not talking about… sex.

Bazmarck

Saturday, November 20th, 2004

A friend of mine is production designer for a short film being shot in Baz Lerhman’s office. I was there working on the set last night, it was kind of funny being in the room where the brain power for Moulin Rouge was exercised. Actually, I’ve been sick all week, so I didn’t give it [...]
