I remember my dad lighting the water rocket and it flew into the sky and all the kids in the neighborhood thought I was the coolest kid. I remember getting off the train a few years ago when my daughter (now a teenager) was little and I took five photos of her running closer and […]

I feel inadequate. And there’s not much I can do about it. Or even want to do about it. I actually like the feeling. I had a lunch today with a guy who worked in the mailroom at Hannah-Barbera which made all my cartoon favorites from the 70s: The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, and so […]

“I hate everyone I work with,” I told my astrologer / therapist. “I feel like everything I say is fake just so people can like me.” I had clients calling me at 4 in the morning asking for advice. Then they would forget to pay their bills. Years later I was calling new clients in […]

I knew I was going to get thrown out of school. I had already failed three out of the four classes (we took one class a semester). We would get these tests on a Monday morning and have to turn them in by Tuesday at 5pm. Everyone worked all night, for 30 straight hours. I’m […]

Failure is not good. Failure is the worst thing possible. You feel sick. You feel like you’re going to die. You feel like if you don’t die you might kill yourself. There is absolutely nothing good about failure. And there’s nothing you can pretend to learn from failure. Lately, we’ve been living in the Golden […]
