Men are known as a lot of things: rational, competitive, smelly, but under our emotionally stunted and sometimes gorilla like exterior we’re actually very loyal. I love saying that men are the loyal gender to people face to face because the response is usually something like: “Yeah right... oh, … [Read more...]
How I want to grow as a person
I don’t understand partying. I’m not like an alien asking (said in alien accent): “What is it to ‘party’?” What I don’t understand is why people think it’s so great: “This weekend we’re going to party! Yeah.” I will say I loved to party back before my age hit double digits; birthday parties were … [Read more...]
Guys & feelings… do they go together?

This is further proven by my second and current girlfriend because she’s six years younger. No one older possessed my … [Read more...]
The Steps to a Fight
This past weekend I got into a heated verbal conflict with my sister-in-law. My family almost never fights, but it happened – well done me – and it only stopped because my mom said: (in an angelic voice) “Okay, time for a new conversation.” The fight left both my sister-in-law and I upset. No, I’m … [Read more...]
