Another castaway from the bird app. I love golf, DFW sports, and lots of things musical theatre.
Came back to Granbury last night to see a show and had a fabulous time. Tearing up the Stockyards in Fort Worth tonight before heading back to Bryan/College Station on Sunday.

My son opened a new show tonight. He’s playing Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde.

He absolutely killed it! (Pun intended). I’ve never been more proud of a performance of his.

Some know this, but this has been the last few months for me.

Sept 2024 - youngest kid moved out.

Nov 2024 - wife and I decided to divorce.

Mar 2025 - laid off from my job.

No doubt God doesn’t want me where I am.

I need a break from the big, life-altering challenges.

On opening night, we get dressed up.

And now the fun continues on Instagram.

Been spending some time on Threads and it’s full of bots. Gotta have some fun while you can…

Got the acceptance packet in the mail today. Not only was he accepted, but he got what amounts to almost a full-ride scholarship! Let the tears of pride and joy commence!
Just found out my son was accepted into the musical theatre conservatory he wanted to attend. I’m in tears with pride at the moment.

If y’all only knew the amount of hard work that he put in to getting where he is.

Here’s a sample of his talent.

Excited to be in this show next month. My character is an asshole and I hate him. Come hate him with me!

I have recently found another side to the other app. I have lost faith in society as a whole.

I have no shame in admitting that I don’t know what the hell I’m doing in life right now.

It’s scary, but it’s also fun and refreshing knowing that I don’t have to follow a script or adhere to anyone else’s vision for my life.

Say what you want about the other app, but I have met some absolutely amazing people there that I would not have otherwise met. Tonight, I had a great time with some of those people over margaritas and Mexican food. I doubt they realize how much I needed that. I thank them nonetheless.

I have a golf tournament in the morning. At least I’m in bed…scrolling, scrolling, refresh, scrolling…

Look out world. I'm awake and ready to tear some shit up today!

Happy Friday y'all!

Game on!!! Go Stars!

Can it just be time for Stars hockey, please?

I had plenty of leftover chili, so I brought it to the office in a crockpot. The breakroom smells like heaven, and my coworkers now think I'm Guy Fieri or something.

I'm a guy that likes to cook. 🤷‍♂️

Emotions are messages, not burdens. They’re signals that guide us to live more authentically, to make decisions from the heart, and to connect deeply with others. So, don’t be afraid to feel it all. 🎭

Remember: you are allowed to feel, and you deserve to feel every bit of it.

This is 262 words in a Word document at 11pt text.
December 10, 2024 at 10:11 PM
In my work, 262 words is roughly 10 column inches in a newspaper or equates to a 1/4 page article in a magazine.

For comparison, the Declaration of Independence is 1337 words, or roughly 54 column inches in a newspaper, or 2 full magazine pages.
For people in professions that aren’t constantly checking word count: 262 words is, like, an overly long paragraph
262 words is not a manifesto. A manifesto should be so long and rambling that its sheer size deters people from reading it. It should look like you need a briefcase full of ragged, yellowed typing paper to lug it around in and wave at people. It should be usable as a melee weapon in an emergency.

I have the second night of rehearsal tonight for my next show which hits the stage in mid-January. My character is such an asshole and I hate him. That makes him so much fun to play!

If you see the show, remember that it's an actor playing a character!

Being yourself means embracing the chaos, the awkward moments, and yes, even the cereal dinners. No one has it all together—except maybe that one person on Instagram who makes smoothies at 5 AM. But hey, they probably don't know what it's like to crush a whole pizza by themselves

If I've learned anything in the last few years, it's to be your authentic self, all the time. Don't try to change yourself to meet your perceived expectations from someone else. It causes more problems than were there in the first place.

Start by loving yourself.
