My Friend Dezur and “The Ripe Project”
So as you know, every once in a while I highlight the work of one of my web series supporters. Today I proudly bring to you Dezur Kenna and her “Ripe Project.” Dezur is a unique and talented woman who started the blog “The Ripe Project,” to parallel her solo stage show, “Ripe.” Her mission […]
MY TIME WITH DENISE AUSTIN
November 16, 2012
So since I’ve been banished from the Belotti household, yours truly has been holding it down in Queens with a bare bones existence, in a struggle for survival. Thanks to a few kind folks who have bought a t-shirt (love you Bill M!!!) I have managed to afford lunch. But things were getting close to […]

“THE THERAPIST” – #79
May 5, 2012
It was with true resistance that I stepped through the doors of the medical annex. And it was with mild delight that the man seating there when I walked in made me feel at home instantly. All this for $29, I thought. I should try Groupon more often. “What’s your name?” “Myra. And you’re…” “James.” […]
“F*#k the Job” #76
January 25, 2012
I’m a couple of weeks into the new job at the most dysfunctional restaurant ever, and I’m really trying my best to stay positive. Every time the owner, who I must repeat looks like a mental institution escapee and sounds like a bear or perhaps wild boar, comes into the restaurant, he berates the managers, […]
“Free At Sea” #53
May 27, 2011
I like to set every course of adventure with an intention. A purpose. A trajectory of meaning. Going on this cruise I intended to experience not only some desperately needed peace of mind, but clarity about ascending to a better place in life, and most importantly, developing a special bond with myself. When we boarded […]
“The Little Engine That Could” #44
April 6, 2011
Now that I’m living with my parents, I’m no longer just living for myself. I have my mother’s pride and reputation to think about. So when she volunteer’s my services to her neighbor who needs a babysitter, I try to step forth in the best light possible. I certainly could use the money, but I’ve […]
“Therapy” #37
March 18, 2011
To combat the stress of the craziness, both inner and outer, I’ve started doing Tai Chi in the backyard. Not real Tai Chi, because I’ve never taken a class, but my own version that I’ve made up. I recall Ralph Macchio in“The Karate Kid”- wax on, wax off – and the old geezers I used […]
“I’m Too Sexy” #27
March 1, 2011
You wouldn’t think that being 40, unemployed, and forced to live with your nut-job parents would provide any opportunity to feel your innate sexiness… But let me tell you, I am learning a thing or two about how life works and the miraculous surprises around every corner if you are just willing to put down […]
