I was watching this show the other day where a man was in a military rehab center recovering from a stroke. And as no show is complete without the obligatory…
I was watching this movie with Jake Gylenhall called The Guilty and a character in the movie said this quote, “broken people save broken people.” It’s so fucking true that…

It’s not actually Valentine's Day yet, today is February 13th, Galentine's Day, a day to hang out with your gals, pals, friends, hell even your pets. Pets are friends people. …
So I was watching the Travel Channel last night and there was this show on called American Mysteries (I know, nerd alert). The show was about multiple airline crashes of…
Death sounds terrible doesn’t it? Just the word itself sounds so harsh, so low-base, like the deepest-voiced opera singer (apparently called an Oktavist - who knew?). Hey, you and I…
I was angry today, Monday. Kinda woke up in a bad mood for no particular reason. Things in life have been going okay lately I guess but for whatever reason…
Driving home from work tonight I heard on the radio that Matthew Perry died. For those who live under a rock or who are under the age of 30, he…
This saying just popped into my head tonight. How fitting as today is a giant symbol of freedom, July 4th. I think some historical guy said "at what price freedom?" …
No, I’m not talking about a Facebook relationship status (though that would accurately describe pretty much all the romantic relationships I’ve had in my life). I’m talking about the term…

I hate that Guns N Roses pops into my head when I think of the word patience. The word whiny also comes to mind right now. I need patience to…
Blurry is the line between ego and self-respect. Worse than the fog outside my window this morning. So what prompted me to write about this existential face-off of good vs.…
Serious fucking question. Besides a select, and I mean very select few, I can’t think of many. Patterns, history, do me wrong once shame on you and all that jazz. …

No, I’m not drunk, yet. I wrote that correctly. It isn’t FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out. It’s FMYMO - Fear Makes You Miss Out. Don’t let fear rule your…
Not sure what to write about. Hopeless Tomatoes has risen to one of my all time favorite things I’ve ever written so kinda hard to top that.
I could write about the Ester Hicks quotes I’ve been reading lately about vibrations and energy. Yeah, deep, existential shit but I’m deep and existential I guess. I had a good conversation with a co-worker about that kinda stuff on Sunday. I have nothing else at the moment so maybe I should expand on that.
The Universe is all about timing. I said this to my mom the other day. She said “I need to learn more about this Universe stuff”. Well, here’s some Universe…

It’s funny how life works. I wrote Tuna Fish and Doritos a couple months ago (even though my procrastination pushed off my posting it), then a few weeks ago I…

So I was driving home from work tonight just thinking how thankful I am to have such a great job that I do indeed love. How many people can say…
We’re all in it, the Suffering. That’s what I’ve named this thing called the human experience. Sounds awful right? It’s not. The Suffering is a gift, a wonderful gift. And…
A friend of mine asked me what’s the worst thing you can give someone. I dunno, a scorching case of herpes? Ferris Bueller’s Day Off anyone? Nope. The answer is…
Do you know the term for when an alligator violently spins his victim into a certain watery, inescapable death? It’s called the death roll. Pretty much describes my state of…
A friend of mine has inspired me to write this. This friend I've known for quite a while, many years in fact. We may not be the text ten times…
What inspires you? I mean deep down in your soul, where it counts. What is that thing that makes you feel alive? Not just going through the motions of life…
