Kinda cool to use this as a time capsule of sorts.

Last post was from a guy worlds away from where I am now, but who also resides within me still.

Approaching the end of 2024, I'm married to an amazing woman, dad to 2 rambunctious, bright little girls.

I've been in therapy for 5 consecutive years, diagnosed with ADHD and chronic depression at the end of my 30s. These diagnoses weren't entirely unexpected, but make me feel a little less alone and have helped me work to better understand myself and work to find tools to be a better version of myself.

In the same vein, I've been California sober for the past 2 years. Part of me misses the flavor and ritual of drinking, but I've found it's generally never made me feel 'better' when consuming and my high-tolerance startled me a bit during the pandemic. Cannabis has helped me tap into different parts of myself, surface emotion and unwind, which for me is often harder than one would imagine.

I'm working in media, but growing disilusioned with some of the aspects of the industry...and late-stage capitalism to be honest.

Starting my 5th decade of life focusing on how more authenticity and bravery will bring me closer to the elusive, ever shifiting goal of hapiness.

Still not enough time to engage hobbies, but working on balance.

I really had taken a liking to Twitter for the past 15 years, until Elon the Shitstain got a hold of it.,

My God.

7 years?

I found myself browsing through this on a lark, reading through old entries, and I think now is as good a time as any to return to the practice of journaling my life.

A lot has changed since I first started using this platform, but looking back through this I realize parts of me haven't changed as much as I thought. :-)

To my favorite Thanos-loving, DDR-playing college roommate and friend:


    HAPPY BIRTHDAY WES!

Hey All!

It's only for 2 days, but my voice will be on a national 20 second promotional spot on MSNBC! Needless to say I'm a little excited! Check it out and lemme know what you think! :

I was hesitant to post anything before confimation, but it doesn't get any more official than ordering airplane tickets: 

I'll be back in NC! (For a limited time only)

To be a bit more specific, I'm granting myself a small break this summer from July 7th to 13th. I don't have much planned yet, but a lot of people to see during the week. Let me know if any of you all have any tenative plans and maybe a day could be had!

www.luckyturner.com is now a reality

I really have to thank satchmoz for his help in making this whole thing happen. I'm still trying to determine the direction of this site,  so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I lost track of how many shots of jack I've downed, but somehow flipping channels I ended up stopping on "Hitch". It's a movie that honestly shouldn't really appeal to me in any way shape or form , but manages to get me involved every time I watch. Maybe it's the Albert character idealistically pursuing romance, or wishing to be as composed as Will doing the Hitch thing. I don't know...

Tonight, "Hitch" is officially the man's romantic comedy.

I saw this in the paper a few days ago and thought this was unreal:



Way to hold out on the cash, Becky....

I promise a real post is happening soon!

Update time!

It's about time I dropped an entry that wasn't riddled with angst, insecurity and other neuroses that have seemed to bog me down since graduation. I'm in a pretty good place right now and I figure it's only right to document it so that if (God Forbid) I go missing in Aruba on a vacation next summmer, media pundits won't glance at my blog and go:

"Wow, what a pathetic fucking shlub..."

I'm having a pretty decent time with life at the moment. I hadn't appropriately marked the occasion on here, but as of May 1st, 2006, I'm an NBC Page. Lot's of different things encompass the experience and I was initially leary of the average 6 day workweek, but it's pretty much the jackpot as far as making connections, meeting people, and giving my resume the best cushion ever. It's a 12 month max program, and afterwards hopefully I've made enough contacts to stay at 30 Rockefeller Plaza (the building is frigging incredible....). Honestly, the program is the greatest validation I could've asked for in justifying all the hours I spent in the edit suite missing hangout time with friends and making the crazy drunken memories I'll be telling my kids years from now, and it's a point of mine to wake up everyday and remember why I'm doing what I'm doing... to get 'THERE'. I'm still working on defining it clearly, but working towards it has greatly increased my happiness quotient.

I haven't made any progress in the love-life department, but nothing sweating. Loads of beautiful women and I've engaged a few really wonderful ladies in great conversation, but I'm not in a rush for anything. Scary to say it's been years almost since my last relationship (of sorts), but I'm making a point not to let that timetable make me rush into some bull-ish.

When schedule and sleep permit, I've got a Tauren Hunter on WOW who's pretty cool. Look me up (Kridoth) on the 'Midvh' server. I've got a wicked pet too!
