Last weekend when I went to the barber shop I ran into an old lady selling bootleg DVD’s. I figured why not skim through what she has because I just knew she had Disney’s Frozen. Ever since Cydney first saw it about a month ago, she has been talking about Frozen non-stop. When it snowed […]
Read More Love is “Frozen” and My Take on Disney’s Warped Stories of LoveLife throws all kinds of curveballs.

Read More Showing My Daughter What Interest Looks Like: A Dating PieceAfter lots of encouragement, suggestions, seeds planted, and even a few demands I’ve started writing the long version of my story to be put into book form.

It seems like yesterday my boys and I were holed up in my apartment doing studio sessions with dreams of making it in some variance of big and then going out partying or philandering.
