  • THE RESISTANCE - EPISODE 36 Josh Radnor - Interview Transcript
    THE RESISTANCE - EPISODE 36 Josh Radnor - Interview Transcript Matt: Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Resistance. My name is Matt Conner, and I’m your host. Today I’m thrilled to sit down with actor, director, writer, songwriter, Josh Radnor. Why don’t you introduce yourself and how you normally, how do you say what you do? Josh: Oh I just say actor, writer, director, songwriter, no I don’t. You know what, you’ve hit on something that I have difficulty with, which is saying what I do. The easiest thing for me to say I do is that I’m an actor, in that I went to grad school for acting at NYU, I’ve been a professional actor for over 20 years. Most people know me as an actor. But I’ve also written and directed two films, I’ve directed music videos, I’ve written plays and prose and now I’m a songwriter and I put out albums of original music. So I guess, and I try to avoid any sort of pretentious-sounding labels, but I think I’m a storyteller, and I just tell stories in whatever form suits the story I want to tell. Sometimes it’s a 90-minute movie, and sometimes it’s a three-minute song. Matt: I love it. I love it. All within the arts in many ways. I want to get to so many things; however, we begin each of our episodes with this quote from Steven Pressfield’s book, The War of Art.

    Oak Park High School 2020 Virtual Commencement Ceremony Thursday, May 28, 2020, 6:30 p.m. [Music] [Music] Dr. Chris Good Evening. We are here tonight to celebrate the 55th graduating class of Oak Sartain Park High School. Now, please join me in welcoming the Class of 2020. [Music] [Music] Dr. Chris Please rise and gentlemen let’s remove our caps for the playing of the National Sartain Anthem under the direction of Ms. Mallory Mahon and our Commencement Band. [Music] [Music] Martha Please be seated. Good evening. My name is Martha Delatorre and welcome to the Delatorre 55th commencement ceremony of Oak Park High School. What an exciting time for the class of 2020. While it might not be what we were expecting, thank you to everyone who is making this evening special. Graduates, parents, family, faculty, friends and distinguished viewers: allow me to say thank you for all that you have done to make this a memorable ceremony. Natalie Hi, my name is Natalie Morrison. It is my honor to present this year's Norma and Morrison Norman awards. Both of these seniors exemplify what it means to be Oak Park Northmen. Both students have been models of scholarship by being diligent in their studies, showing their willingness to serve others by giving back to the school, and community as well as the Northmen spirit by actively supporting and participating in a variety of athletics and activities. This long-standing award is based on a vote by their peers, and as a part of this honor they will each choose their favorite book to be permanently placed in the Oak Park Library Media Center.

  • 1/24 Begin Again by Jeannette Encinias
    1/24 Begin Again by Jeannette Encinias http://www.jeannetteencinias.com/my-poetry Begin Again. Little moments. Running the water. Tending to the plants. Cutting the fruit. Opening the curtains so that the entire sky can greet you. It’s never easy but, no matter. Steam from the tea so quiet. An open book, and door, and arms. You woke up today. You are alive. This is a gift. Even though life may beat you down. Hard. Even though things, situations, and people you love may be taken away from you so that your arms can memorize the grace of letting them go. Even then, especially then, begin again. Remind yourself that nothing really dies, rather, it transforms. Everything and everyone you have ever loved lives in the mysterious memory of your cells. Turning. Healing. Renewing itself. Until one day, a photograph of something or someone very dear, long gone, visits your mind and you bow your head with appreciation. Meanwhile, take your pain to the sea and your trouble to the mountain. Leave it there and walk home clean. When failure knocks and rattles and quakes, let it. Watch it make a fresh canvas of you. Failure, that great teacher, is kinder if you thank her as you are getting up off the floor. She knows something that you don’t know: that she is usually the last face you will see before breaking through. Such a little light in the crack of the door. But today, if you are wading through the waters of loss or confusion: begin again.

  • All the Little Moments at Her, Smile Gone
    Chapter One The car turned down a quiet street and Anna blinked rapidly as she realised it was her parents’ already. Her neck ached from sitting so stiffly, and she turned awkwardly in the passenger seat. In spite of herself, a smile tugged at her lips: Hayley lay sprawled over in the back, seat belt digging into her neck. The normally poised and put-together lawyer slept with her mouth hung open, and there was a slight sign of drool. The last fourteen hours had been a kind of hell, and both of them were exhausted. Swallowing heavily, Anna looked back to the front and clenched her fingers together in her lap. She kept her eyes off her father, scared to look at the expression on his face as he pulled into the driveway. The car had been eerily silent the entire drive from the airport. There were no words for this situation. Now, with the engine cut off, the silence somehow became even more oppressive. Heart racing, Anna let out a long, slow breath. The house looked as it always had, white and two story with a simple front garden. It all looked the same, yet everything had changed. How could it be that just yesterday she’d been on a beach on the Gili Islands, Indonesia, relaxing with a mojito in her hand? Her father cleared his throat and opened his door, sliding out easily. As usual, Anna followed his lead, while Hayley unbuckled herself and got out on Anna’s side, squeezing Anna’s fingers in comfort.
