I stood over a coffin that should never have been built. Motionless. Looking at a motionless body. A body of a sixteen-year-old kid. A kid half my age. Exactly half my age. A kid who had been hit over the head with a 2×4 and knocked out. Knocked out so badly that his body became […]
I remember my very first girlfriend. Her name was Sierra. I was five and she was four. We both lived on the beach, in tents. I wasn’t on vacation nor was she. We actually lived in tents. My parents decided to take a year off from their hectic lives and we somehow ended up living […]
I have never shot a gun in my life. Never. Ok, a water gun when I was a kid, but never picked up a 9mm or glock or a shotgun or even a bb gun. It is like crack to me. Don’t ever want to try it. Not interested in experiencing what it feels like […]

For four years while I […]
For actors, there is one interview that you dream about. There is one chair that all of the greats have sat in, including Deniro, Pacino, Streep, Washington, Hanks, Hoffman and the list goes on and on and on. Inside The Actor’s Studio with James Lipton is the creme de la creme of all interviews. If […]
by Michael Skolnik Dressed in a black suit with a pink tie and a pink handkerchief, the favorite color of his daughter, Charles Jones walked with precise focus, as if he didn’t notice the thousands of people staring at him. He appeared from a side door of the crowded Eastside Detroit church, walking straight towards […]
As Shephard Fairey’s May Day art opening got crazier and crazier, b-boys rapping outside, the black motorcycle gang revving their engines in unison, celebrities pushing their way through the 5000 people standing outside, someone turned to me and was like ‘Yo!

I woke up this morning with a heavy heart as I learned of the passing of the President of Poland. As I read through the morning headlines about the tragic plane crash, I didn’t notice the numerous emails and tweets that I had received overnight.
