It looks like my relationship with Final Cut Pro is really heating up. We seem to be joined at the hip lately.
This always seems to happen. Every few years, I go back to Final Cut Pro and then after a few months, I leave it for Photoshop, Final Draft or standup comedy.
What’s the point in [...]

I was reading a magazine that called the new movie The Winning Season, starring Sam Rockwell, an original and unique story about a “has-been coach who is given a shot at redemption when he’s asked to run his local high school’s girls basketball team.”
Original and unique?
Sounds EXACTLY like a movie made just four years ago, [...]

By the way, here’s the e-mail I sent to Katie (the producer of the Gorilla Tango Standup Show) to let her know that I’d be having Jamie Campbell as my understudy in tonight’s comedy contest:
Hi Katie,
This is tia. Hope you are doing great. I’m writing you to give you a heads [...]

I don’t really like standup comedy contests. First of all, no one can ever really win comedy no matter how many trophies and wads of cash you’re awarded by subjective judges.
Secondly, they tend to mess with the fragile minds of comedians — you worry you’re not good enough, then you think you’re too good, then [...]

Okay, I just went running and I have a feeling running doesn’t really lower my heart rate.
I think the reason that it feels like it does is because when I run, I remember to breathe.
It seems weird that I have to remember to practice something that’s a natural instinct.

I think there might be something wrong with me.
I love to run.
In fact, it’s my favorite thing to do. On days that I don’t run, it’s not because “I didn’t get around to it.” It’s because I didn’t get my work done.
Everything else in my life seems so up in [...]

My new roommate and I were cleaning his room last week and we found an old lottery ticket from my previous roommate.
I took that as an opportunity to write something in the style of a Yahoo! Questioner.
However, when I tried to submit the question, “Yahoo! Answers” kept telling me that the system was down. I [...]
