Dear Little Bobby: Stuck In Stupid Side Jobs
I’m stuck in a cycle of jobs I don’t care about and feeling I never have the time to really develop my creative work to the point that I think I could actually make money from it.

Dear Little Bobby: Worried and Still Bar-Hopping With My Alcoholic Friend
I don’t want to be an annoying downer so I’m just kind of ignoring her extreme drinking habits, but I feel really guilty and like I’m an enabler. How can I be a good friend to her AND get through to her?
Dear Little Bobby: So Over My Roommates
I just want my own quiet place but I can’t afford it here. The fucked up thing is that I’m afraid to move to a small/cheap city because I think it will be boring and not give me the buzz of energy this city does. What should I do?
Dear Little Bobby: Berned Out On Politics
Got questions for Little Bobby? Send them to dearlittlebobby@pyragraph.com. Dear Little Bobby, I’ve spent months organizing and helping the Sanders campaign and I’m just on outrage overload. Honestly I don’t know how…
Dear Little Bobby: Sentient Robots?
I have seen enough episodes of Star Trek to know that this would have the potential for lots of issues.
Dear Little Bobby: Sexual Shame
The solution is not to get control—the solution is always to let go. Let go of expectations. Let go of misguided delusions of having any control over the world. We can only try to be educated, to be safe and most of all, to be loving.
Dear Little Bobby: Scared, Watching the Conventions
Yes, the Republican Convention was a total shit show. I have never seen politicians behave so poorly. They try to divide us and to turn us against our Mexican/Muslim/homosexual/transgendered brothers and sisters.
Dear Little Bobby: Music Sucks Now
If you think “music sucks now” because of what is on the radio, my question would be: Why the hell are you listening to the radio?
Dear Little Bobby: Racial Injustice, and Fuck the Police
I want to DO SOMETHING but I have no idea how my voice could possibly make this situation any less shitty, because, come on.
Dear Little Bobby: What Is Art Anyway? and Hatin’ on Hate
Art is not just a thing, it is a process, and it is up to you and to me to decide what that means to each of us.
Dear Little Bobby: Take this Job, and Underwear, ‘Nuff to Share
To make art full time, and for that to be their only job, would be a dream come true.
Dear Little Bobby: Wanting to Bang on a Drum, and Uncle Sam and Aunt Samantha
Practice a lot and make it fun. If it seems like work, you are screwed. If you practice for hours on end without having fun, then what is the point?
Dear Little Bobby: Writing Against the Wind, and Rebel Rebel
Is getting published still a possibility these days?
Dear Little Bobby: Queen of Clean, and To Grow or To Go?
My roommate wants to begin growing pot. He recently received a medical marijuana card and is getting a license to grow.
Dear Little Bobby: Mother Nature’s Son, and Lukewarm in Cleveland
We also know that for some people, if they had the choice, they would choose a do-over on their entire childhood, maybe even a different mother altogether.
Dear Little Bobby: Still Collecting Vinyl, and Tired of Chemicals
My tastes are completely pro-album, but it seems that I am in the minority.
