The Four C’s. Have you seen this happen? Someone does something, perhaps with excitement and gusto. One person responds, “Well, you should have done it this way…“ Another person cracks a joke about how they did it. A third person

(A journal entry from February 10, 2013) Am I the only one? The only one who passed almost all of his classes in high school and college, but can’t seem to make sense of Adulthood 101? The only one who
What can I say that hasn’t been said before? What could I do that hasn’t already been done? What could I offer to this ancient world, full of wisdom and treasures unknown? What do I have that even matters
How do you sign your name to the end of a wasted day? “St Patrick’s Day” is the nineteenth episode of season six of “The Office.” By this point, a new CEO has come in (played by Kathy Bates, of
Have you heard it? If you work all day and go to bed at night, you probably have missed out. If you play music 24/7, no doubt you’ve drowned it out. If you busy yourself with odds and ends, you
This is one of my most transparent, vulnerable posts– a stream of consciousness description of a morning struggle with depression from a couple years ago. No pictures or jokes or videos, just my thoughts, jumbled and mangled as they are. Part
Does anyone else have this problem? You just can’t imagine an old friend or acquaintance being something other than what they were when you knew them. I could possibly call it “the Older Brother syndrome,” but this isn’t an issue

Jealousy rears its ugly head A ram-like creature with two horns Disbelief & Dissatisfaction One hits you straight in the spine Crumpling & crumbling your security & stature The central column & core of your life Can fall out of
