My play is seeking a debut. An aging, former U.S. Army guard recounts his days as a back-up guard at Spandau prison, guarding former High Ranking Nazis sentenced at the Nuremburg Trials. As the play unravels, a chilling yet intimate portrait of the human side of inhumanity begins to emerge. #theatre

New Year is not a holiday for me per se. But it is a nice reset the happens to coincide with a calendar switch. I have many things to reset and reorient after the shit of last year.

Even for Tom Jones type entertainment, "Sex Bomb" is asinine.

Just finished Robert's Rules of Writing by Robert Masello. A casual an insightful volume of advice from a professional to others in the field at all levels. Worth a read. #writing

Speaking of #arts, less thana month away from opening The Taming of the Shrew, with me playing Grumio. I am off book now, as are most of the other cast members. True nuance and experimentation can begin. #Shakespeare #acting

I work a partial shift today at an arts building. Modest programming for now, and modest funds. Modest hours too. Indicative of the state of arts in a way. But also, just being here, even while void of visitors provides a palpable essence of creativity and passion. #Arts alone can save us, I think.

The first #Christmas without Mom is behind me. Never again will I have to live it for the first time. For the rest of my life, however long that is, I have already experienced Christmas without her. #grief

Facebook password reset requires my fucking password....make it make sense.

Frigid here in central Maryland...holding at around 20 right now.

So I have put up some #Christmas decorations. Not usual levels. But i have not gone dry either. Work keeps me away too, which is why I have later in watching movies this year than ever. But a few I will probably skip this year. #grief

I don't mind so much if "aliens" in fiction remind one of humans. At least some of them. Fascinating, even comforting to imagine certain aspects of life and love could be, quite literally, universal. #scifi #spaceopera

The decorations are in from the shed for my first ever #
Christmas season without Mom. I intend for it to be a subtler look, but by no means am I going with zero. I have to know there is at least still some Christmas in me.

I associate a lot of a certain type of #jazz with Christmas. My theory is 1) Charlie Brown Christmas. 2) For much of my life, older music you don't normally hear on mainstream radio plays a lot at Christmas time. So impressionable me-as-child probably associated the two.

In many cases it is not so much about the rules themselves. They vary of course depending on where you are. What makes me sick is the inconsistent enforcement of same. Like, I don't care if John can brings drinks into the meeting room, but if John can't neither can anybody you. #autistic

Starting over. If I get someplace, I get there. Quit making me do shit I already did.
November 30, 2025 at 3:26 PM
The older I am, the more convinced I become that without at least a small collection of rules that are enforced loudly and consistently within a system, nobody is helped. Overt permissiveness in every corner in the name of compassion hurts the rule keepers more than it helps the rules breakers.

It isn't the masking per se that is the problem. It is the daily expectations that require the biggest most sustained masking of which I am capable that is the problem. #autistic

Ick...I was just reading blog post, (BLOG POST) that digressed in the middle to ask for followers and likes, "before we continue." It is shitty enough on TIKTOK, but in text?? Yuck. Not viewing their content again.

Anyway, my first ever #Thanksgiving without Mom went well enough. A friend of mine hosted me, otherwise I may have spent it alone. Very lowkey affair. And no leftovers...it is far too presumptuous, in my opinion, to take leftovers home from a non-family host.

Pickleball can make some people, perhaps many people, unnecessarily angry.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

I also tend to expect following someone on social media for a certain amount of time before I think it's okay to engage. I am better at that than I used to be, but many is the response here that is quashed by the internal question, "are you important enough to talk to them now?"

I just know I am on someone's "Quiet Posters" group on here. I try to say more. One of my issues is the self-imposed expectation to only say things that have rarely, if ever been said before...or at least recently, in context. In reality that's an absurd metric. It has been a lifelong, "struggle."

When I first started writing, I used to worry about sounding “right.”
But the truth is — there’s no single way to write right. There’s only your way. Don’t rush it, and don’t imitate. The more you write, the clearer it becomes.
So, write like only you can. That’s where the magic begins. 💫

I like distant, dark and obscure things that at the same time are somehow nostalgic.

I recently started working at a company that has a gym for employees. I use it on days i work. I never used a gym before in life, but I figured it is time to look forward to my future health as well.
