The eve of the Eve before Christmas and I got a little creative. I’d like to share it with you, maybe “Outside Of Los Angeles” will  be published as a book some day. Tough to preach right now but do try to kill that debt. Earn more. Spend less. Stay physical. Save more. Invest only after […]

What do I like to do? I like to write. Is writing free? You bet your sweet ass. I wrote some more. Is that part of the goal of setting aside next year’s tuition? Is that part of spending less? Is that part of earning more? Is that part of saving more? Is that part […]

Only four nights at the bar this week, it will reflect in the next paycheck. Four auditions last week, not one callback, not one booking. I won’t let all that get me down. I’ll create something that is meaningful and entertaining to me. I wrote some more for my online (for now) manuscript “Outside Of […]

Do something you enjoy doing. I enjoy writing so here’s another entry for my (online for now) book “Outside Of Los Angeles“. Enjoy: Ned Temple came to me one day with a business proposition. He wanted 75 large to rent out a studio apartment at the top of La Brea right against the hill that […]

It’s been said many times and many ways, chicken fried steak is either great or horrible- there is no middle ground. That being proclaimed, Patsy’s in Toluca Lake joins the rest of the battered meats at the bottom of the pile. The CFS: Patsy’s in Toluca Lake. A popular destination diner for locals and studio […]

I like to write. This is part of my collection of recollections that I call “Outside Of Los Angeles”. Enjoy. A coyote was standing at the corner of Franklin and Kingsley just watching traffic this morning. I was leaving Jumbo’s after picking up rent and saw the coyote taking it all in. Made sense, Griffith […]

Acting is my profession, working at the bar is my job, and my family is my life source. I have my steady job, I wake up and fall asleep to my family each night; however, that damn acting profession is kicking my ass right now. In the last two months I have been put on […]

Well outside of Los Angeles, 210 miles north, I found myself at an Atascadero diner sizing up the next candidate in my quest for “The Best Chicken Fried Steak In Los Angeles“. Granted this is not even in the same county; however, a good chicken fried steak has proven tough to find in Los Angeles. […]

A new entry for my online book “Outside Of Los Angeles“. Enjoy. I stay away from crowds on holiday weekends. No good comes from a monkey like me being stuck at a destination location. I hate drunks. Got no love for football fanatics. And I sure as shit don’t want to see another human being […]

Felt the urge to put some more down. This one is true. Enjoy. Griffith Park is a great place for a hike. You can see the city from up there. Plenty of parking. They got the observatory. The zoo. Autry Museum with a bunch of cowboy and Native American exhibits. The Greek Theater is up […]
