I do not know which is worse: Sitting through 2.5 hours of a tattoo or the 2.5 days of itching that follows.  I made up the 2.5 days of itching.  It’s more like a week of itching, and I can’t scratch it.  The healing process needs to happen without me causing more damage by scratching and…

You know, I do not like confrontations.  I really do not, but it seems like I do things that invite, or cause, confrontations.  I get, “Why did you do that?” all the time.  It always seems like the most fun or interesting thing to do.  It is not always the smartest thing to do.  I…

Today should prove to be an interesting day.  It will be busy on all fronts.  The oldest’s football game will probably suck.  On a 5th/6th grade team, he has two 6th grades playing against a team that is all corn-fed farmer boy 6th graders.  That is like trying to stop an elephant with a yard…

I had the tattoo on my chest expanded up my to my shoulder, down my arm a few, and slightly on the back.  That was 2.5 hours of pure bliss.  Not really.  First 90 minutes was fine.  After that, it pretty much sucked.  My chest tattoo might have hurt more up front, but it was…

I was at the kid’s football practice last evening.  I always bring the bag chair and sit on the hill near the other parents.  I’ve left that chair to talk to people, use the bathroom, and get food from the concession stand.  No issues.  That chair has always been right there.  Last night, our boys…

I never really noticed how big of a difference driving two vehicles could be.  Going from the Camaro to the Explorer or the F250 to the Explorer is not that big of a difference, but after driving the Camaro for a couple of weeks, going from the Camaro to the F250.  Wow!  It’s like going…

I have been told more than a few times in my life that I am playing with fire.  It is never in the same arena as the last, but that is not the point.  Why is it exciting to do something that might be considered wrong?  Why does it intrigue me to walk so close…

Have you ever woken up from a dream and just asked yourself, WTF?  I had one of those last night.  This dream could have  been two separate dreams.  I am not sure.  I had trouble getting to sleep (unusual as of late), and I woke up a dozen times through the night.  I do not…

Is it a bad thing when you look forward to going back to work?  I guess that depends on your work.  It was a very busy weekend, none-the-less.  Trying to expand the barn, the wife and I successfully put two twenty foot 6×6 posts in the ground.  It isn’t perfect, but it will work.  Another…

I never really liked sleeping.  As a kid, it just seemed to get in the way of fun things like watching TV or playing games.  Even as an adult, I really do not like sleeping.  I feel lazy and worthless just laying there sleeping.  If I didn’t get tired or have to sleep, I wouldn’t. …
