Posted August 30, 2008 Comments(0) Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Posted August 28, 2008 Comments(0) 
Yesterday I was inspired by Gonzo, the documentary about Hunter S. Thompson. Of course, since I fancy myself a writer (ahem, ahem), I knew about Hunter S. Thompson. I even gathered with a few pompous literary associates to down shots of Wild Turkey in his honor when the poor guy finally pulled the trigger on his life back in 2005. But now, after seeing and hearing about him through endless interviews, dusty tapes, and recordings I have a newfound respect for the man. He went all in, balls out. There was no story unless he was there. He was the first rock star journalist. He took chances and I have to take my hat off to that.
In a way, seeing that film was the kick start that I needed. I tend to be safe and guarded with my journalism but I feel as though, I’m ready to leave my plateau.
See this film!

Kissing Writer’s Block Goodbye
Posted August 27, 2008 Comments(0) writ - er’s block
n. a phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue writing, usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity.
When I went from working at a print magazine to an online publication my writing went to the wayside. It wasn’t intentional but just like everything else, writing takes practice and as I shifted my focus towards editing and video production I found myself going days without putting pen to paper. Over time I realized that I was “losing my ability to write” but instead of fighting it I just dove deeper into distractions. This is not to say that I couldn’t physically push out a news article or a blog entry. I could (and I did) but my voice was gone.
Lately, my job duties have shifted and I find myself writing every day again. I’ve slowly started seeing glimpses of myself creeping back into my work and I couldn’t be happier.
Here are some of the articles that I’ve been writing lately:
