Movin’ and Groovin’: The next adventure
I’ve had so many ideas regarding this site and like most ideas, only a handful come to fruition while others fall by the wayside. This strange amalgam of film criticism, poetry, flash fiction, rap recordings, etc. all seem crazier the more I think about it. There isn’t as much focus as I would have liked … Read more
What I’m grooving on lately
Where have I been? I’m not really sure either but I’ve been busy. Between work, preparing things for my (hopefully soon) move to LA, some sickness and just not feeling like writing, I haven’t had much time for the blog. So, in what I hope is the beginning to a new string of fresh posts, I … Read more
Letters of Note, Ansel Adams and the importance of Love
Letters of Note has become a quick addiction. From the site’s “About” section: “Letters of Note is an attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos. Scans/photos where possible. Fakes will be sneered at. Updated as often as possible; usually each weekday.” I found one today (through Judd Apatow’s Twitter feed) … Read more
What to watch when you’re watching: A crash course to a more fulfilling movie experience
You sit down. The lights go out. You grab a handful of popcorn. You shut out the rest of the world and all the cares and worries you harbor and watch a movie. That is the base for this series: We sit down in the theater or in our homes because we want something to take … Read more
“No one’s doing this but you. You know that right?”
You are doing something. You are wearing something. You are saying something. You are the only one. This titular quote comes from this past weekend when I was able to witness my best friend being in such a situation where I had to say those words. I didn’t say it because I wanted him to … Read more
Just something really quick and awesome
I received an email this morning from my incredibly astute mother, Mrs. Sara Waugh, asking me a question. She’s been reading my blog, like any good mother would, and saw my Lil Wayne “Prom Queen” GOTD yesterday. My mom is not a Lil Wayne fan and does not like rap music; although I do remember … Read more
A Groovy Inspiration
This is not a justification of why I do what I do. This is not preface. This is purpose. We all work for a reason and that reason is never financial benefit. I have had jobs that are nothing but paychecks which require a certain determination to not get up in the morning, call in, … Read more
So, today at work…
One of the regulars* at the bank for which I work part-time walked in the other day. He came toward my window because I was the only un-busy person at the time. I looked up and said, “Hi, how’s it goin’.” “Not bad, you,” he said, thumbing a greasy finger through the cash he meant … Read more
New Kind of Groovy
Consider this your State of the Groove Address. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, this blog has become something in which I never quite intended and that’s what makes it exciting. I think, though, that maybe it’s time that I reign in a little bit more of a focus. You’re still going to get the same … Read more
Read this and don’t discount it in 24 hours, even if Valentine’s Day is in the title
I know. I get it. The second that this post delves into the realm of a holiday, it is instantly dated the second the holiday ends. That is not my matter nor my worry at this moment because it shall be written about in some fashion nonetheless. The point of a holiday is not to … Read more
