Movies are my favourite past-time. I watch them like some guys do sporting events and I get equally worked up. I like a great idea that’s been written well, directed well, acted well and shot well. I have my own laundry list of actors and directors that I follow as well. The only aspect of [...]

This is one of those random thought type blogs. I have been thinking about this little game I played as kid, to while away the hours on long road trips. I remember looking up at the moon through the back window. I was obsessed with the idea that the moon was following me wherever I [...]
