On the Sidelines
Watching someone you love go through shit is one of the toughest things one can do. When my youngest son was born, there were immediate concerns for his health, although I did not realize it. I went home to get my last good night’s sleep. Little did I know how true that statement would be.…

Being Perfect
No, ladies and gentleman, I am not perfect. I know that might come as a shock to some of you, but it’s true. I might have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I’m not perfect. Someone very close to me just asked me, “Why are you so fucking perfect?” My reply? “Because…

Mixed Messages
I realized yesterday that I send a lot of mixed messages. Not on purpose, mind you, but I do. It’s one thing to be ambiguous and not want to tip your hand when dealing with delicate matters. It’s quite another when you say one thing and your actions do another, even if it isn’t on…

Fortune Favors the Bold
Being a science fiction lover, the Latin phrase “Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat” reminds me a lot of something the Klingons would say in Star Trek. The Klingons had a few good proverbs: “Today is a good day to die” and “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Those sayings are little too dark for my mood…

41 Going on 14
Sometimes, I wonder if I’m really sane. Sunday night, I got five hours of sleep. Last night, I got four. Shit, in two days, I’ll have as much sleep as a lot of people get in one day. It’s not the lease amount of sleep I’ve ever gotten in a two day period, but it’s…

When Do You Know?
That is a very interesting question. When do you know? Any sane person would ask, “When do you know what?” I mean, it does require some clarification if you want to be accurate with your language. Whenever I mention accurate language, I think of the movie “The Giver.” It’s a very dystopian movie with a…

Conversation’s Over
Halestorm is one of my favorite bands. Godsmack and Halestorm are my top two. One of the big reasons is they sound even better live than the recorded albums. That’s nearly impossible to do! They also have a variety of songs with themes like love-type ballads to “fuck you” anthems. Halestorm has a song “Conversation…

From One Extreme to the Other
I’ve gone from the wife essentially ignoring me for the past two years to her not leaving me the fuck alone! I completely misjudged her reaction to me telling her I wanted a divorce. I really thought she was going to walk off the cliff into total self destruction. Instead, she walked off the ledge…

I’m Still Alive!
Yes, I’m still alive. Someone isn’t accepting divorce. Now, it’s all about self reflection and realizing she’s never been an adult in her life. It’s like she wrote down everything I’ve said for the past two years of arguing and is repeating them. Am I supposed to believe it? I mean, I do see the…

The Cries of the Desperate
I rarely make rash decisions. Even quick decisions have a lot of thought behind them. Granted, that thought can be massively flawed, but I do put a lot of thought into it. When I come to a decision, I’m pretty confident in that decision. When that decision is based on my “fuck it” point, you…
