One of the perks of living in NYC is that I’m literally in the cultural hub of the world. And I’m not saying that arrogantly, or with any snooty tone. It’s frankly, a fact. People look to Gotham for the latest in news, entertainment, literature, architecture and design, and fashion. In case you were snoozing onContinue reading The MET Gala: Catholic Imagination
Warning: Tonight, I’m going to be writing about the four-letter “P-Word” that makes everyone squirm. Porn. I read a really scary statistic today. It said that for just one porn site, 81 million people visit it per day. Per DAY! 81 million people! And that’s for just one of the thousands of websites out there. That’s close toContinue reading PORN: A Virgin’s Perspective
Oh my gosh I am sick as a dog. If you listen to the podcast versions of my posts over on Patreon, you may have noticed that I had the early signs of the “sniffles” last Thursday. Well, those innocent little sniffles have now become a full fledged sinus/upper respiratory nightmare. I honestly can’t remember ever beingContinue reading Lucky 37
I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but The Boy Scouts have decided to officially change their name. They’re dropping the “Boy” – and instead, becoming simply the Scouts BSA, in an action that will now include girls in their program. I woke up on Wednesday, checked my phone, and that headline was literally theContinue reading Dear Boy Scouts,
I think I’ve mentioned before about how I go about writing my blog posts. Because spoiler alert…it’s unconventional. I literally sit down, and ask the Holy Spirit to write my post for me. And then, it’s like the words just kinda flow. But recently, there’s been a topic that has been put on my heart toContinue reading Divine Mercy: Prayer through Pain
Hey friends! I’m sitting here at Laguardia Airport, waiting to jump on a flight to Chicago. Just 8 hours ago, I was in New Jersey shooting a commercial, and now I’m hopping on a bright and early flight to a callback for a fashion show in the Windy City! My phone has 5% battery becauseContinue reading Chicago Bound!
Our generation is going to go down as the generation that killed romance. Among other things. But the death of chivalry and courtship will be our legacy. And I blame one thing: Dating Apps. Ugh. Bumble. Tinder. The League. Hinge. Coffee Meets Bagel. OKCupid. Online dating is a close to 2 billion dollar industry. As they say, there’sContinue reading The Generation that Killed Romance
Confession: I like watching TV commercials. Partly because I’m an actor and I do a lot of commercials, and so it’s kinda like homework to see what the commercial “trends” are. Some of these trends include: making dads and men seem like dopes or incompetent, ethnically ambiguous “heroes,” the switching of normal gender roles, andContinue reading TV Morality
New week, new city! I’m back in Ohio this week. I had a callback for a film this morning. The casting director, writers and producers flew in from LA, so fingers crossed on the project! I’m not going to front: last week, I was in a very strange head space. I found myself, almost resenting this blog. Monday’sContinue reading Light up the Sky
I wore shorts today, for the first time this year. Hallelujah! It’s finally spring! And you know what that means…just like my winter-pale gams, pretty soon the tourists will be coming out of hibernation and visiting NYC. I love my city. I’ve lived in NYC for seven years, and every day, I still have to pinchContinue reading A Local’s Guide to NYC
