I did what I hate doing most. I showed vulnerability. I showed my deepest, darkest secrets to a room full of people I don’t know. I spoke to them in real life…not hidden behind a computer screen. I like hiding behind pen and paper and screen. But this time, it was all out in the… [Read more…]

These are things I can’t tell people. Not that I don’t want to, but because I can’t formulate the words.

“Look at this. Just, just come look at this. It’s times like these when I wish I carried a camera with me.” “Well Lou, your camera is small enough to carry in your pocket next time.” “I will. Look at this. It’s a 12-year-old with no head, all hyped up on a caffeinated beverage. I… [Read more…]
