  • 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…

  • The Shit Hast Hit the Fan

    If you want to see the culmination of three to four years of trying blow up into a glorious cluster fuck of epic proportions, tell your spouse with a personality disorder that you want a divorce. Watch out, though! You are about to experience a while ride. Rage, sobbing, calmness, and everywhere in between will…

  • Wither Away

    Have you ever watched someone wither away? Most of us have seen an elderly person we know shrink in stature, quickly becoming a shell of their former self. What happens though when this person is someone we loved and been with for years, a partner in life? I can be devastating to a person’s psyche,…

  • Still Pinching Myself

    Am I dreaming? I have to be! Right? Normally, they say “pinch yourself” to see if it’s a dream. My dreams are a little more intense. I can feel pain in my dreams, so pinching doesn’t do the trick. Usually, I can tell, or I die. Since I’m not dead, and I woke up (yes,…

  • The Most Beautiful Sight

    Never has anything so beautiful every enter my eyes and pierce my soul as what I just witnessed less than an hour ago. It was a pleasantly unexpected sight, that I can’t get out of my head. What I witnessed was so beautiful, in fact, that I had a difficult time concentrating on words that…
