365-Of-2017 January 1st

So I am sitting here watching the end of The Martian while my new dog and daughter play at my feet. It’s been a pretty quiet and somewhat productive 1st day of the year. I am reaching the end of my annual holiday break and I am really not ready to go back to the…


The one where it becomes 2017

“So new year new me.” “2016 was horrible so thank god it is over. Yay for 2017.” I see so many people saying that about the new year. It seems like its the SAME people every year that do it. Oh this year will be better than last year. Blah blah blah. It’s bullshit. A year…


So I am going to do a thing every day…[edit] ok maybe not every day

Ello. It’s been a while since I put anything up here. I haven’t forgotten about this thing I just have not been in much of a mood to actually write anything. Which is interesting since one of the things I have wanted to do is write more.. kinda a paradox. I want to write more…


The one inspired by the very end of Hoosiers

Every place we go is haunted by the memories of the past. Everything you do.. every relationship you have.. everything… all saturated by memories of what once was… Good stuff and bad stuff. And all that is awesome. Even the bad stuff. The thing is… don’t get caught up with the past. It already happened….


…the one about my friend George Germain and The Misfits

There are a few good reasons why I decided, after long (long) deliberation, to write my first real meaningful post about George. Obviously he was an important person in my life at a particularly important phase of my personal growth… so by definition he is someone I should talk about. But also… I am quite…


Watching Video Games Is Fun?

I really don’t get the fad of watching online videos of people playing video games. I know this isn’t a new thing, and I haven’t just heard of it. My daughter got her tablet more than a year ago and became instantly addicted to Minecraft. Being an Involved Dad I had some monitoring software installed….


What is To Life

When I was younger I thought of life as a racetrack that had straightaways and curves. You enjoyed the straightaways as much as you could because you never know when you’d hit a curve. But curves were temporary and once you were past them you were on another straightaway. Basically the physical representation of “This…


Still here…

Just a quick note to mention that I am still here. I didn’t forget about this place.. nor did I drop off the face of the earth. I’ve been going through some Life Things lately and thus have not been motivated much. However I think that will change soon (the motivation portion at least.. )….


Warnings

So before I start adding content here “direct from my brain” I probably should warn you of a few things. If the following words seem slightly familiar it’s because I derived them from the infamous rules/warnings that Will Wheaton puts up every once in a while. I have reasons to both like/dislike Will but I…


I’ll just make a thing.

So this is my new Thing. What is it? Well.. at the moment It is an empty WordPress site. I hope that over time I fill it with interesting words that captivate, entertain, inform, amuse, and fully express the chaos of thought inside my head. At least.. that is my goal. I can tell you…
