Ensnared in my regrets, I see…

Author: Lance - Categories: Undeclared, Worth Reading

Ensnared in my regrets, I see
A bitter face looking back at me
The face is my own, and the bitter is too
And my regrets ensnaring me is nothing new
But something is rising– or rising again
My strength is returning like a long lost friend

Like a long lost friend who has shown up too late
Who can only observe the unrolling of my fate
And stand helpless, restrained, watching through glass
As I continue to stand, and then fall on my ass
Again and again, and again and again and again
Just beyond the reach of the help of my friend

The Cast of “Community” on Twitter

Author: Lance - Categories: Television

It didn’t seem super-easy to find a simple list of the Twitter accounts for the cast members of NBC’s “Community”, and since I was already following them all, I took a moment to make a Twitter “List” featuring them. You can follow it here: Tweets from the Cast of Community (@FreelanceLance/cast-of-community). The accounts of the actors are listed here: Cast of “Community” on Twitter.

I will keep it updated with additional cast members as they become available. Please let me know if you know of any additions by posting a comment below. (I don’t know all the actors’ names off the top of my head, but I don’t have accounts for the Dean, or Vaughan, or Britta, or Danny Pudi a.k.a. Abed. Or Chevy Chase, but I’m not holding my breath for that one.)

NOTE: NBC has also created Twitter accounts for the characters that the actors play; this list does not have those accounts, nor @NBCCommunity’s, nor that of Dan Harmon, the creator of “Community”, or anyone else behind the show. It’s just the actors–currently: Joel McHale, Allison Brie, Donald Glover, Yvette N. Brown, and Ken Jeong. I thought it could get too crazy and unfocused if I opened it up to all the crew and “creatives” behind the show. But you should follow Dan Harmon too probably, right?
