A friend of mine wanted to install a garden. He lives out in the county on a chunk of land and was worried about bunnies, gophers, moles, deer, and birds eating for free. Free food is typically a pretty awesome thing when it benefits you, but when the wildlife take...

Last night was awesome. Each time I’m part of a performance I get nauseous without the puking part. Like I’ve mentioned in previous posts I play Andrew one of the apostles in Jesus Christ Superstar. The cool thing about this show is that it’s a rock...
