Sometimes the Best Classroom is Community Theater
Note: This essay originally appeared within the author's publication Secular & Sensational on Medium. I remember sitting in a church parking lot, tears pouring down my face. These were different from my other tears. My other tears came out fierce and fast, a direct response to immediate physical or emotional pain. These parking lot tears emanated from the center of my body and fell down slowly in time with my breath. They were not the result of pain so much as they were the result of being human.

How to unlock Greek Netflix while Abroad?
It’s never too early nor too late to go on a vacation, and what most people miss to most in these situations is their trusty old TV along with all the shows it provides for us. Some people don’t mind paying a couple dollars more to gain access to several other channels in their hotel room, but that’s usually a massive waste of money – your favorite shows are not included.

Movies Can Help Us Get Through This
Netflix recently had to decrease the video quality of their service to accommodate the high volume of people streaming. In these difficult circumstances, we're all turning on our favourite streaming services to offer us a form of escapism. I sincerely believe that movies are a useful tool that can help us get through this. But that's all they are, a tool. A hammer can be used to build something useful or it can be misued to break things or injure people.

9 Great Podcasts That Have Nothing to Do with the News
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Many, if not most, are news- or politics-focussed, and these days they’re all about, y’know, that thing that’s currently consuming all of us. And, honestly, nobody knows all that much except it’s bad, it’s getting worse, we should wash our hands and stay the heck home and away from people, there is a lot to worry about, and, depending on where you live, the government’s response has been varying shades of terrible. Really, I don’t need a daily update on each of those, let alone several updates. But if I do, well, that’s what, say, the Washington Post is for.

When our world grows bleak, we must dance to the rhythm... . Top Story - March 2020.
Spring's greetings, my fellow opinionated people! (*) I would like you to know: at this very moment, I am sitting in my favorite sports bar, sipping a beer, and watching professional basketball out of my periphery -- and due to the growing (and for some, paralyzing) fear of the coronavirus, this place is about half as busy as it usually is. Which means easier parking and priority seating, which is totally cool with me. I guess. But it has me thinking: if it comes to me being stuck at home in the near future, whether due to illness or work shutdown, which films would be my Chicken Soup for the Soul, as 'twere? Where might I run to first, to flee the binge-watching of super-TV, and find my happy place buried deep under the rising waters of preoccupation (and lack of work)? Where I landed was a universe filled with rollicking soundtracks and bodies dancing unencumbered...

Rental Shops were better than streaming.
Media consumption has changed so many times in my lifetime. I've personally never been very big on theater going. I always seem to get a tall person sitting right in front of me, even in an empty room. I do love stories and generally dislike people, so the ability to take in media within my own space is the best. I remember getting my weekend NES game from the local video rental shop or even the grocery store. That then moved into the more franchised options with Blockbuster and Family Video where I would grab a week's worth of DVDs for less than ten bucks. Now we have streaming services that pour into almost every device you have in your home. In recent years though consuming media just hasn't been as enjoyable as I remember from my younger years. So I would like to talk about the things that the streaming wars are losing me with.
