I remember starting this blog and saying to myself “oh this is gonna be great I’m gonna do one of these every week!” It’s now the end of September and the last time I wrote was SEVEN MONTHS AGO. I’m so good at doing things I say I’m gonna do it’s crazy.
To be fair, it has been a wild year. I spent a few months flying back to Chicago every couple weeks to be there for my grandma who needed some help, I crashed my motorcycle, I demoted myself at work, went to Hawaii and Vegas, got my cat’s teeth pulled, etc etc. And now it’s autumn and I’m in a cabin in Big Bear and I just spent the last two days doing psychedelics with my friend in the woods haha. More on that later :)
I also decided to start auditioning again so I got some new headshots! Check them out in the photo gallery! Thanks to Jeremy David for some great shots!
Reading: How To Change Your Mind
This book about the history of psychedelics is absolutely fantastic. So much I didn’t know, and so much I’m excited to keep learning.
Listening to: Yebba
My buddy Chad introduced me to this artist and I really dig her, especially her song “Boomerang.” Go listen to it!
Watching: Nine Perfect Strangers
This Hulu show is based on a book, which I bet is 100 times better. The show is fine and has interesting moments and some good acting, but overall not even close to as good as I was hoping. But I am continuing to watch it so I guess it’s pretty good. Michael Shannon is awesome as usual, that is for sure.
Drinking: “Employees Only”
This is a drink I put on the menu at the restaurant I work at and not to brag but, it’s delicious. It’s sort of a twist on a Negroni- Bozal mezcal in place of gin, Montenegro in place of Campari, and vermouth bianco in place of sweet vermouth. Zest an orange peel on top, rub the rim of the glass with it, and enjoy.
