Call me a Millennial but something I really don’t like? I don’t like being told I’m shitty for things that are effectively not my fault… only to be not told I’m not shitty for catching things tha...


The bosses left at three to meet some people working on their home I am exhausted and cannot say exactly as to why I have earned more than 4 hours today though the bosses want 6 per Not that I c...


This weekend felt like a whirlwind and went by too quickly. Obviously. Last two weeks, Monday was a Holiday so now that we are back on 2 Day Weekends instead of 3… the weekend felt too fast. I...


These blurbs were not written during Working Hours but during Lunch Hours, a demanded 15 minutes break, and at the end of the day BLURB 1 I really appreciate the “Past Entries On This Day” sectio...


Some day, I’m going to write down all of the ridiculous and stupid things my Chinese Clients do. I’ll lay it all bare for everyone to see. And I’ll say, “Look. Look. The Immigration Statistic...


Thank you everyone for the notes yesterday. Sadly, I desperately do need feedback. It is why I was an actor. I need the applause, the laughter, the boos, the tears… I need that to know how I’m...


According to GOOGLE, some famous birthdays for the day are Dan Harmon, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mel Gibson, Danica McKellar, Sergio Leone, and Victoria Principal. Yesterday, partially as a large middle fi...


As I constructed the new book, I took the time to review my “Resolutions” entry for 2017. Then entry was called “Obaith” (link to entry attached) and it is the Welsh word for HOPE – the hope that...


Dreams can remind us of the worst of us sometimes. Last night, my dream was one such as that. I was back in college, during my undergrad years, and reviewing my schedule at the end of the semeste...


New Book is called Working Through The Maze. Life is not what I had hoped it would be at this point. Growing up, I always thought I would have a house, a wife, a dog, and at least one child by t...


Dragons, Resolutions, Goals, Plans, whatever. I spoke with my wife and our 2018 hopes/goals? (1) I want to get under 200 lbs (2) We need to work on our marriage (3) We both need to work on “bei...


By the time I sat down to my computer to write this, I already had 8 different ways I wanted to start this. So I guess I’ll just start talking and see where this goes. I’ve been myopically focus...


(1) 13 years ago, I left acting because I wanted “the little slice of Americana” more than I wanted anything else. I didn’t know how to get it, but I knew that trying to be a professional actor ...


Remember my San Francisco thing? Y’know… the trip where I told my future employers that I could not accept the job if it would not be cool to go on? The trip where I only missed two days of work ...

Sht in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

Just got email confirmation that I did not get the Cedar Rapids job. I feel heartbroken. I feel like once again I was shown that things could be better… that Wife and I might finally get a break...


Perhaps best summarized by the two following image: What was your biggest life lesson this year and what did you learn? I continue to learn a great deal about myself. I learned a great dea...


Still no call from the ACA Job. I think I’ve entered into the anger stage of loss. Because I keep thinking that there is NO WAY I could be more professionally qualified for this job. Like… the j...


I should have guessed that today would be a Two Entry (or more) Day. DEFINITELY more if I get the phone call. Though, I’m guessing I won’t be getting it today. Just intuition. Last night, I fi...

Oh, Fine in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

I wasn’t going to write in here today. I was going to let the day happen… take a break from writing… allow those who may wish to a chance to catch up, lol. But I reconsidered as I should docume...

Fuses in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017

Well… consider my fuse lit. Chinese Boss has a large mountain of Immigration work that (1) needs to be done immediately and (2) needs to be flawless otherwise our clients will suffer and if our c...


I’ve mentioned it before, I’ll mention it again… the first e-mail address name I ever had for myself was BatVillains. I still use it occasionally for spam-potential e-mail requests (see also: Gi...


“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich t...


My day began at 5:30 this morning, when I set my alarm. My Wife doesn’t understand why I set my alarm to wake me an hour before I have to leave the house. It is an important part of pain manage...


Have I mentioned that I really hope I get that job I interviewed for? Have I mentioned that, just because we are in the age of Cell Phones, that doesn’t make it cool for employers to bother you w...


Two roads diverged in a tortured metaphor and neither could be chosen. The roads, you see were fractured possibilities of a future yet to be created. Being the traveler, I could not select which...
