run faster

for this week’s commentary, i’d like to take us a step even further back, to get a better picture of the bigger picture. all our lives we’re running towards something. whether it’s running to find love, running after that promotion or grade, or even running for the heck of running. it’s this non-stop go-go-go mentality [...]

tough, tough decisions

i don’t know about you, but it’s a constant struggle with me – do i go out and paint the town, or stay in the comfort of my home? usually, in either case, i don’t regret it. on one hand, you’re out and about, with friends, getting some rich new memories and experiences. on the [...]

return of sketch night!

after a few months, I was finally able to make it back to the 1st Wednesday sketch nights over at the Geek Easy. fantastic venue as always. as always, the night progress from 30 second sketches, to 1 minute, to 5 minute and 10 minutes, and then a contest sketch for 15 minutes with 5 [...]

man, you don’t know me

do you ever feel like a critic but when the situation is happening to you, it’s ok? i wonder why that is. the human mind has such a capacity to generate excuses and justify circumstances, in order to keep the ego happy. if we do it too much and too often, it becomes arrogant and [...]

give it to me right here

instant gratification. and that’s still not enough – we want it to be a freaking awesome kind of gratification! i liken it to gambling, where the notion of walking up to a table or slot machine, spending $1 and somehow instantly winning $1000′s of dollars. it just doesn’t happen (very often), yet, we all still [...]

watch closely

i really enjoy people watching. every so often, when i’m in a restaurant or a dance club, i just like to look around and make up stories for people. are they on a date? why haven’t they said a word to each other for the past half an hour? some of the most interesting is [...]

give in to the game

let’s all agree on one thing – we don’t like to play games in relationships. but… what’s considered a game? how about manipulation? how about influencing or persuading? where do you draw the line? does it depend if the motive is for selfish wants or for the betterment of the relationship? it just seems that [...]

Game of Thrones – Stannis Baratheon

like many of you, i am super-excited to have the return of Game of Thrones! and keeping with what i did with the first season, i’ll aim to deliver a sketch of a character every week. this week we have Stannis Baratheon. i think the show continues to do a fantastic job of casting great [...]

you don’t say

ok, here’s something about me. i’m not very patient. i really really try to be and i think i pass it off alright, but growing up, i realized i am quite impatient. so, in my older age, i’ve learned to cope with it. i do this by understanding who you are and then being able [...]

Alien

in preparations for, what is sure to be an awesome movie, Prometheus, i’m going back and watching all the Alien movies, starting with the original from 1979. directed by Ridley Scott, as is Prometheus, the original Alien is part sci-fi, part horror. and for a 1979 movie, the special effects were quite amazing and holds [...]
