With my mild obsession with all things Superman and my having fictional role models in Clark Kent and Lois Lane, one would have thought that my career path would have led me to the life of a mild mannered reporter. As much as I enjoy writing, I'd be lying if I said the thought had … Continue reading 5 Reasons Why I’d Make a Bad Journalist

The Confusing Middle’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015
I'm totally stealing this blog post idea from Jeff over at Notes From the Trail. He posted his own top 10 blog posts of the year recently. I meant to talk to him about it before I posted my own. I wasn't sure if he just looked at stats to see how many visitors each … Continue reading The Confusing Middle’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015
Gimme a Break
Kids, I'm gonna take the week off from blogging. The way I see it, I'm entering my second week of Christmas break, so I'd like to spend as much of it relaxing as I can. Not that blogging is a stressful activity. I find it to be a good stress reliever. But if I'm spending … Continue reading Gimme a Break

Kids, this just happened... Now, I realize this might not be a big deal to, well, the majority of humanity. But it's kind of a big deal to me. Especially since I previously maintained a blog for over 10 years that never even broke 100 followers. In less than a year I've picked up 200 … Continue reading Two Hundred

And it won't be as detailed as the incredibly boring day I described in yesterday's post. Sunday-- When you're on staff with … Continue reading Day Twenty Six

So here's what … Continue reading Day Twenty Two

A Recipe How to make cereal: Get the box out of the pantry/cupboard/wherever. Get the milk out of the fridge. Set the milk next to the box of cereal. Get a bowl and a spoon. Set them in front of the cereal and milk so it looks like the last two seconds of a cereal … Continue reading Day Twenty One

A Talent of Mine I really don't like to brag. I mean, I know I get on here and occasionally write about how awesome I am. But, you know, that's just a shallow facade attempting to mask the decades of insecurity that rest just under the surface of my personality. More often than not, that … Continue reading Day Nineteen

A Fictional Book Kids, I haven't written a fictional book yet. I mean, sure, I've got some ideas floating around up there in the old noggin, but I don't want to share them here. Not yet, anyway. I mean, what if I have an unscrupulous reader who would take that idea and run with it … Continue reading Day Thirteen

My 20 Favorite Things I couldn't care less about raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens. No... I can't say that. Kittens are kind of adorable. But I wouldn't call their whiskers anything close to being one of my favorite things. And when the dog bites, I'm generally not thinking of my favorite things. I'm … Continue reading Day Six
