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. This was after a long day and week … [Read more...]
How to Make Friends &/or the Sale
Making friends and sales are pretty much the same thing. Why asks the person still interested enough to keep reading? Because, to make a friend, you essentially need to sell yourself.

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...]
Do You Have an Unhealthy Addiction & Not Realize it?
When I say the word addiction, what comes to mind? Drinking? Drugs? Gambling? Sex?
