Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
My name is Jay Phillippi and I've spent my life in and around the media. TV, Radio, the Movies and more. I love them and I hate them and I always have an opinion. Call this the View From the Phlipside. I honestly don’t know whether to laugh or scream about this next story. It... Continue Reading →
My name is Jay Phillippi and I've spent my life in and around the media. TV, Radio, the Movies and more. I love them and I hate them and I always have an opinion. Call this the View From the Phlipside. I always think of it as the “car commercial syndrome” because it seems like... Continue Reading →
The re-entry phase to "real life" has been almost as challenging as the sabbatical itself. Especially coming off the week at Holy Cross it's hard to settle into the groove of get up, go to work, deal with details, come home, eat dinner, go to bed, repeat.

While my sabbatical time is at an end I still have some things to share here. I'll try and move them along over the next couple weeks. On the whole it was wonderful. A time of rest, a time of reflection, a time of learning and of growth. But now it's back into the office. ... Continue Reading →
The first draft of the sabbatical project writing is complete. I will have to add a short bibliography but I'm not worried about that. I have accomplished what I came here to do. The feeling is one of great joy. Whatever judgement of value comes is of no concern. This is a good expression of... Continue Reading →
I made a commitment to myself NOT to check in on Facebook during my time at Holy Cross. I have been closing the window that opens on my start up pages automatically. It just dawned on me that the Facebook tab has been reading "This Page Cannot Be Found" all week. Somebody's been helping me... Continue Reading →
