"I bet you spent your whole life believing that you, you were born to do something great, make a difference, do something special. Important. But Michael, it's the most ordinary thought anybody ever had." - Quote from the 2011 movie Puncture Damn. That thought has played inside my head more than a few times. Not that... Continue Reading →
Me, Myself and I
The only real dilemma in hanging out with yourself is choosing which voice to follow. I like hanging with me. I'm good company. I really don't mind being alone, even for long periods of time. Being an introspective person I just kind of get lost inside my own head for a while. However, being married with... Continue Reading →
Juice This
It's amazing! It's fantastic! It slices! It dices! It mows the lawn and takes out the trash! **Actual results may vary, but I'm definitely smitten with my NutriBullet. Should have called it NutriAWEsome.** Seriously though... Best. Present. Ever. Who needs teeth?!? I'll drink my meals from now on thank you. And here I felt sorry for... Continue Reading →
Perspective
Often times I lack it. That, and appreciation. And I take for granted most everything I have. Today I woke up that way. Instead of thankfulness for simply waking up with breathe in my lungs, I rose with a sense of entitlement. I'm owed perfection. Each moment of the day must fall in line with... Continue Reading →
Shoebox Gold
Holy wow. Jackpot, I guess. Who knew I kept such odd, often times ridiculous, mementos (not the freshmakers) in old shoe boxes? I always have 2 or 3 shoe boxes in my closet. One is always reserved for receipts for tax purposes. Usually the most accessible since it's used often. The other two? Not so... Continue Reading →
N’awlins – Part Deux
I'm a chronic people watcher, or rather, I stare at people. For long, uncomfortable periods of time. Beautiful people, ugly people, old people, young people, fat people, skinny people... doesn't really matter. I just find people interesting and so I stare, pierce through their soul, and take a piece of them with me. Is that... Continue Reading →
N’awlins
N'awlins is a curious beast in the daylight... the morning after. The whole of Bourbon simultaneously does the walk of shame. The veil of darkness and alluring neon lights is lifted to reveal a decrepit cesspool of rotting buildings and potholed streets littered with broken beads and shame. If the actual "walk of shame" had a... Continue Reading →
Wanna Get Away?
Yes. Yes I do. Away from this fricken plane. I never used to fear flying, at all. My parents separated when I was in grade school so I flew all over the country, every year, alone, to wherever Dad had moved. Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas...multiple times...and never an issue. As a kid I sat alone... Continue Reading →
Does this decade make me look fat?
I don't know when it happened... the actual time and date or anything... I mean, I don't think you can expect anyone to ever pinpoint the exact moment their style ran out. It just sort of happens to some of us I guess. I USED to have style... or at least I thought I did.... Continue Reading →
No Love For The Treadmill
You can't outrun a fart on a treadmill. There's a myriad of reasons not to run on a treadmill, that being the least of them. I hate running on a treadmill. I even hate the word 'treadmill'. It sounds like some medieval torture device. Even Sisyphus would decline the maddening punishment of a treadmill. At least he... Continue Reading →
