What a month for pop culture landmark anniversaries! Here's a few I'm toasting:

Sept. 13, 1993: Late Night with Conan O'Brien premieres

In Sept. 1993 during the late night TV wars of the 90s, newcomer Conan O'Brien took over for David Letterman on Late Night. So much attention was on Dave, Jay, Arsenio and Chevy Chase, but for former SNL / Simpsons writer O'Brien his style was completely different and worked great in that time slot. Here is my appraisal of Conan's TV hosting from 2021 including my memories of attending Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 1994 and 1995. Happy 30th LNWCO!

Sept. 14, 1978: Mork and Mindy premieres

In Sept. 1978, one of the best sitcoms about aliens as a fish-out-of-water premiered on ABC. Spun-off from an episode of Happy Days, the wacky alien Mork played by Robin Williams goes to 1970s Boulder, CO and he moves in with a local, Mindy (Pam Dawber). So much of the humor went over my head, but what was funny was Williams' wild physical comedy. I enjoyed reruns of this along with Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley as a kid! Happy 45th M&M!

Sept. 24, 1993: Dazed and Confused opens

In Sept. 1993, Richard Linklater's 2nd film (2nd commercially released film that is) was released and it is one of the all time great films about high school. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 30th D&C!

Sept. 25, 1998: Monument Ave opens

In Sept. 1998, the first movie I ever worked on was released. I was an intern in the location department in 1997 and then in 1998 I was an intern at director Ted Demme and producer Joel Stillerman's production company Spanky Pictures. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 25th Monument Ave!

Sept. 26, 2003: Hope and Faith premieres

In Sept. 2003, the ABC-TV sitcom starring Kelly Ripa as a former soap star, now in suburbia with her sister and family premiered. I worked on the entire first season. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 20th H&F!

The Paradox of Faith: Embracing the Unseen

Shaina Tranquilino

September 20, 2023

Faith has been a constant source of inspiration, comfort, and strength for people across cultures and throughout history. It is an intangible force that often defies logic, rooted in the belief that there is something beyond what our physical senses can perceive. In Hebrews 11:1, we find a profound definition of faith: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." This verse encapsulates the paradoxical nature of faith - it requires confidence despite uncertainty and assurance despite invisibility. So, let us explore this concept further and delve into how faith can shape our lives.

Believing in the Unseen:

The notion of embracing something unseen might seem counterintuitive to some. Our modern society places great emphasis on tangible evidence and empirical data to validate beliefs. However, faith challenges us to look beyond what meets the eye and trust in something greater than ourselves.

Faith allows us to envision possibilities before they materialize. It encourages us to hold onto hope even when circumstances may appear bleak. Just as a seed buried beneath the soil holds within it the potential for growth and blossoming into a magnificent plant, faith enables us to nurture dreams, aspirations, and goals until they come to fruition.

Finding Strength in Uncertainty:

Life is riddled with uncertainties; we face countless situations where outcomes are unpredictable or beyond our control. During these moments, faith becomes an anchor that steadies our hearts amidst turbulence. It grants us confidence when everything around us suggests doubt or despair.

In times of adversity or personal struggle, faith provides solace by assuring us that there is a purpose behind every challenge we encounter. By recognizing that life's difficulties serve as opportunities for growth, learning, and resilience-building, faith enables us to navigate through storms with unwavering determination.

The Journey Toward Spiritual Growth:

Faith is not a stagnant state of mind; rather, it is an ever-evolving journey toward spiritual growth. It involves cultivating trust in the unseen and nurturing a relationship with something greater than ourselves.

Through faith, we are encouraged to seek answers beyond what our limited understanding can grasp. This pursuit often leads us to explore philosophical questions about the meaning of life, the existence of a divine being, or our place in the universe. While these queries may remain unanswered, faith provides us with the assurance that there is wisdom in embracing uncertainty and finding peace within the search itself.

In a world driven by skepticism and empirical evidence, faith stands as a powerful force that fuels our dreams, strengthens our resolve during challenging times, and guides us on our journey towards self-discovery. Hebrews 11:1 beautifully encapsulates this concept - faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

By embracing the paradoxical nature of faith, we open ourselves up to infinite possibilities and find solace in knowing that there is purpose even in the midst of uncertainty. So let us hold onto faith as we navigate through life's trials and tribulations, for it has the potential to transform our perspective and grant us profound inner strength.

PRESSING ON IN HOPE

Always have hope in Jesus. He will give you the strength to go through times of difficulty.

PRESSING ON IN HOPE. We are living in challenging times. People are facing enormous hardships. Many people have lost their energy and hope. Some individuals once considered life to be an adventure. For many, that perspective has shifted. It is now just enough to get through each day. Whatever ambitions and dreams they had have melted away. People are searching for hope. Some…

request: "What do your bishops look like and how does the lamb think of them?"

I haven’t decided (or started) on designs yet. As for my lambs opinion, they process everything through humour, I would say this is their surface level opinion on the bishops. There’s obviously the deeper-seated issues they have w them tho.

Angels are Allowed to Feel Broken Too

This poem expresses the anguish of witnessing a loved one's self-destructive path while remaining steadfast in their devotion.

Their heart aches seeing you like this. They would clip off their wings if they could to be with you, but you would rather lay in the dirt, and you take the love they for you as breaths on a window, fleeting and ethereal, but they have to stand firm in case you recognize the need to reach out for them to help you on your feet. They ghost their sleep, They sit there patiently wishing they…

Happy world hijab day. Especially to the Muslim Palestinian women who live under constant threat of the occupation and have had to sleep with their hijab on every night for years

#Palestinians are the most faithful people I’ve ever seen and I think it’s the most amazing quality #I hope god gives them all peace

Journal mixing business and recovery 01/26/23

Hey, weirdo’s! So I started a new schedule with this job. It has been nice so far, well very stressful and a lot to take in. Still though, I know I can do it. It’s life insurance, which is a big step up from busser that’s for sure. Some of you kind of got pissed at me yesterday. I kind of sent a group text to a lot of my contacts. Some of them were NA contacts. Which I felt kind of weird about anyway before I did it. my boss said or told me to do it. He said after the fact it was just a suggestion. He made me feel as though it was not. Peer pressure is a powerful thing. anyway, the next thing I knew, it had blown up in my face completely. Anywhere from NA people scolding me to not mix recovery and business. People are telling me to go to hell and suck a dick. It was bad, to say the least when the dust settled. I really wanted a cigarette. I asked for one when my boss suggested that I come outside and cool down. Which was a good idea. He told me that he was not going to enable me. Which is good so far. He is a great boss. I just wished that I had gone with my gut and not sent that text. My sponsor even told me it was not a good idea. So from now on, I will try to remember that despite what anyone says. What I should do from now on is listen to the truth. Know that peer pressure comes in many forms. Now I love my boss. I know I have many layers of bosses. The Agency Director is the man who told me to come outside with him. Then there is his boss and she has a boss and so on so forth. This job mostly has a lot to do with my motivation to sell and get my name out there. If one person had said yes to that text, then it would have been worth it. However, I know that I have to get used to talking to strangers first before I can convince friends. Because friends know me and my past and would just look at this like a phase. I have had a lot of them. Hopefully, I am cut out for this. I have to get used to rejection, though. I have not had someone cuss me out over the phone YET. I know it will happen, though, and I don’t have cigarettes anymore, so I'm not sure how I am going to get over that. Going outside and soaking up the positive energy from the trees. Praying while taking a deep breath might work. If I have the kind of attitude that it won’t guess what… it won’t. I really like my trainer. She just brought me a day planner to schedule with. She also believes in Jesus, which is nice, because I can talk to her about bible study. Which was yesterday night. I kind of wish I had gone to a meeting instead, but if I take care of my heart, mind, soul, and strength, then I’ll be good. I am taking care of my mind right now by getting this stuff out there. My parents would say not to let the world know my business. Honestly, I could care less. If someone finds this helpful, then It was a success. God loves you, anyway he believes in you even if you don’t. Have a good day or night Weirdo’s. Whenever and whoever reads this.

Understanding Why Hope Is An Anchor For The Soul

Understanding why Hope is An Anchor for the Soul. Hope is more than wishful thinking. It’s something You and I both can’t live without. However, clinging to hope can be extremely difficult, especially when doubt, hope’s sworn adversary, pushes you in the direction of despair. “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance builds character, and character builds…
