After taking a few days off from my regular posting scheduling, I’m back in the saddle again. Still working towards my creative goals, and at the same time trying to continually jump the hurdles of life and stay in the race.

I’m looking at you Robert Downey Jr. From a quirky young actor, to a drug addict, to bottoming out, and then rising from the ashes of his former self, Robert reemerged with a new wife, new life and newfound handhold as one of the premier film entertainers of his generation. He has accomplished so much, and yet has a whole lot more that he is planning to bring to the table over the next years.

Starting tomorrow, look forward to reviews, a special RDJ themed Sticky Notes, a story that should be the pitch for his next film and a Friday wrap up with possibly more reviews. It’s enough to force someone to make this face:
