You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ The Trailer. The stench emanating from the Winnebago is overwhelming. It smells like an open sewer filtered through a skunk’s raised tail.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The gift. A white cop. A black woman. A very large 10 year old boy. I’m seated at a table covered in football equipment. A mouth piece, a face shield, a size 11 pair of cleats. The boy is in 5th grade. He is gargantuan. He […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The conventions. Donkeys vs Elephants. Republicans vs Democrats. Liberals vs. Conservatives. Americans vs Americans.

Because it’s like waving the white flag of surrender. If you’re […]
You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! Writing a 120 page screen play, spending months on it, then just dumping it in a box. That my friends is crazy! Sadly I have done this a dozen times in my life. These are the memories that began pulsing through my brain as I stumbled […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Writing the great American novel. So what do I want to write about? What do I have to say? They say write what you know. But is that sexy enough to sell? I’ve written what I know, I’ve written what I think I know, I’ve written what […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Revenant. A frontiersman on a fur trading expedition in the 1820s fights for survival after being mauled by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. Yes it is all this. But it’s much more. It’s man versus nature. It’s […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Dirt. I am covered in it. I’m exfoliating with tundra. I’m wearing an aboriginal mask of dried grass. I look like Al Jolson if he were hosting the Lawn and Garden Channel. I’m in the back yard toiling on a Sunday. This is America. As Joe […]
