Three years after the debacle of "Change the Channel", I've created another series -- this time for Massasoit -- called "On the Rise".  I'm the producer of the series and we've already shot the first episode.  It'll be airing before the end of the month.  It's a series where people ages 18-30 can discuss issues related to early adulthood.  The ( Read more... )

I've decided like Joe the Plumber better than Joe Six-Pack because plumbing is actually useful.

Just under two months until the election.  It's going to be a long 60 days ( Read more... )

As of today:

Obama - 50%
McCain - 42%

Just marking the day Obama hit 50%.

It's been over a year since I started working at Massasoit.  I put off looking for a second job during most of that time because of all I'd been through just to get that first job, I needed a break from the job hunt, and -- for a more pragmatic reason -- I was looking to gain at least a year's worth of experience so that maybe I could apply to ( Read more... )

 Today, I watched first 20 minutes of Star Trek: Nemesis on AMC. The second time I've ever seen the movie.

The one-liners were really forced and it seemed like Patrick Stewart was laying his performance on really thick. My favorite part was the beginning in the Romulan Senate. B-4 was just -- yeah. I'd completely forgotten about his dialogue.

 My own words in February 2008:

McCain vs Clinton or Obama

That's it.  I'm satisfied with whoever wins ( Read more... )

My father, brother, and I went to a Thai resturaunt for my birthday, Asian Garden, in Brockton near Massasoit.

So here we are, eating, then someone comes in, my brother recognizes him and says hi, my father says hi, I say nothing, then after we leave I asked, "I didn't want to say anything earlier but who was that?"  Then Mike says, "He's your ( Read more... )

Are the 30s ill-defined? You're "supposed" to be married with 2.3 kids, 1.7 cars, etcetera, but do people really grow up expecting to actually have what that image generated from 1950s/post-WWII black-and-white instructional film (you get the idea) says we're supposed to have?

Sure, we might have that image, but what else do they say about the 30s? ( Read more... )

Yesterday night, I went to a store, came out, then I saw a guy in a purple car who nodded at me, so I nodded back -- not knowing why but I figured he was just saying "hi" -- then he drives up to my car.  Bear in mind I have no idea who this person is, and I start to get worried.  He must've noticed because he said "don't worry, I'm not gonna shoot ( Read more... )
