I’m a good person (arguably, a biased opinion), yet every now and then I get excited at the idea of ruining someone’s day. Ever have that? I don’t mean like slowing down because you don’t like how aggressive the person behind you is driving. That’s just a regular day. I also don’t mean ruining … [Read more...]
The Perfect Fight
After 11 years together, my wife and I finally had the perfect fight. My apologies if you are hoping for a description of a fight with brilliant Hollywood witticisms being tossed back and forth while clothes are chucked out the window with Michael Jackson’s Heal the World being sung in the … [Read more...]
Stop Whining & Do Something!
Recently, I made a bold move with someone I care about, and see frequently (no, this isn’t my wife). After several years of hearing her complain about the same thing (I promise it’s not my wife), I listened to her complain for close to an hour about this again.

Unfortunately, when he arrived he was not his normal friendly self because his wife was angry with him – not a … [Read more...]
Today We Celebrate!
Easter is a day of celebration. For a Christian like me, the two greatest events in human history are Easter and my birth... I mean Jesus’ birth; He’s a little more important than me. Christmas celebrates the Son of God coming to Earth; if I was the Son of God I think I’d pass on that trip (me as … [Read more...]
You Might Suck at Communicating & Not Know It
A lot of people think they’re good at communicating (aka women), but the truth is they’re terrible (if I end up dead tomorrow you can assume a woman did it, so that cuts down the suspect list to about half the population). As this opening line points out, I’m pretty terrible at communicating. I … [Read more...]
