I’m going to assume you know what I mean when I write “eye rolling.” To be safe, let me point out I’m not referencing a new-age eye exercise where you move your eyes around in circles to improve your chakras or a strange zombie game where you roll eyeballs down a lane like bowling.

Help to Appreciate Your Job (& Other Things)
When I was a teenager, I remember saying to my youth pastor, “When I’m older, I don’t need a big house; I just want one like my parents.” His response was to laugh and say, “What are you talking about?

She’d be the first to say that he was a good man, but he was distant. Growing up, her mom had always been her cheerleader, and now … [Read more...]

If you’re reading this, I hope you’re curious why your friend (or girls in general) would marry a loser and this isn’t something you’ve had to endure yourself. Being married to a loser isn’t something I’d wish on… well, even a moderate loser. I define a loser as someone who is very selfish and … [Read more...]
You’re Not an Introvert (an argument against the introverted and extroverted belief)
With all the people I’ve met through being a therapist, performer, officiant, former youth pastor, and someone who strikes up conversations with random people (yes, I’m that guy), I remember only meeting one person who described themselves as an extrovert when the topic came up (I have weird … [Read more...]
