Lost Angeles - the incredibly true adventures of life on the left coast!
I think comedian Harry Shearer (The Simpsons) puts it best on his great radio program Le Show: “Los Angeles is the edge of America, the Home of the Homeless...” It's also the current HQ of the Monkeywright. A lot of strange things happen out here. I aim to find them, get into them, and take a bite from their gooey nougat centers. One things for sure: if you're looking to write about weird things, you'll never run out of material in Los Angeles.
In the Grocery Store...
This was my first brush with weirdness in L.A. Okay, technically it was Pasadena, but you know, tomato, tomahto.
Of Cars and Skin Care Products...
Probably the strangest and most dangerous thing that I’ve come across out here. And yet it’s still funny.

Power Wrestling
Could the Monkeywright learn the sport of his childhood heroes and walk as a God among mortals? In a word: no. But, I did learn how to do an armdrag, among other things, and learned some powerful life lessons along the way. Well, I learned the armdrag anyway...
Writing Lessons From the Homeless
Words from a stranger
make writer's block seem like a blessing.
I hope it's
the worst I'll ever have to worry about.
