life, travel, stories – Join the journey, Love Raven
Dear Reader, Do you have any hobbies? More importantly, do you have any that you love? Weirdly, it wasn’t until recently that I discovered how valuable it can be to have an interest that fulfills you. Recently, I have gotten into the art of make believe (i.e. acting). Some gigs have been simple, like the... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, There is a beloved Soviet short film called “Hedgehog in the fog” (yozhik v tumane) that depicts an adorable, little rodent who pokes around in a murky wood to find his friend “bear.” With no more than 10 minutes of action, this 1975 cartoon has been embraced by international audiences and endures as...

Dear Reader, Guess what! I am writing to you with parchment and quill (okay, pen and paper) like a Victorian-era protagonist. With a pen in hand and notebook on lap, the words are springing to you without the aid of a dictionary or a thesaurus (gasp!). For those of you who have read part 1... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, I bet every television/movie-watching American adult has seen at least one parody of the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 masterpiece “Psycho.” My first “Psycho” mockery came packaged as child-friendly, comedic content —Bugs Bunny. In this scene from the 2003 live-action film “Looney Tunes: Back in Action,” Bugs is in the shower, when... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Would you rather get the hard stuff out of the way quickly or just wait until it comes?

Dear Reader, Being in the background has its benefits. I am a fan of the side hustle and just this summer, I have made quite a bit of chump change participating in market research and psychological experiments — (more than $20 an hour for easy "work"). However, my most interesting side hustle thus far has... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Do you ever get so excited that you simply can’t get your mind to sit still? As an easily amused person, I feel this way, perhaps, more than normal. But, today, I have more of a legit reason to be excited… I’m going to be in a motion picture! Well, it’s one small... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader, Young city people on TV sitcoms are always getting themselves wrapped up in the darndest situations. They have the most eclectic interests. You find them attending a Burning Man-esque festival in the desert like in “Crazy Ex-Girlfirend,” taking cooking classes like Monica and Joey in "Friends," or randomly playing laser tag like Barney...

Dear Reader, If I were to live for 200 years, there would still be a number of things that I would never do. I would probably never have enough courage to go skydiving, enough money to stay in a penthouse suite in Monte Carlo, or enough time to read all the “great works of literature.”... Continue Reading →
