Ladies and gentlemen, I'm dying. I know that this news may come as a shock to many of you. It's really sad. I may have as few as 50 or 60 years left. The truth is, I suffer from a degenerative condition that so many people deal with every day. It's called aging. It's a … Continue reading Degenerative

Kids Say the Darnedest Things
Throughout my work as a school counselor, I liked to post Facebook status updates which were not actually status updates at all. Instead, they were quotes from the kids I worked with at the elementary school on a daily basis. Some of them are a priceless kind of hilarious. Others are probably only funny to … Continue reading Kids Say the Darnedest Things
The Wedding Party
This blog post is a pitch for a TV show and I'm pretty sure it would be an enormous hit that would make me millions of dollars. Probably. Actually, it probably wouldn't. Because even if this is an original idea, someone with more connections could see this and claim that they had the idea first … Continue reading The Wedding Party
Things I Learned While Working Retail

Complimentary
I'm never really sure how to take compliments. I'm really quiet and reserved. While I like to pretend that I enjoy being in the spotlight from time to time, I really don't like to receive attention when I do something right or do the right thing.

I'm here … Continue reading How To Be Perpetually Early
The Single Guy and the Conditioner
I have a soft spot for hairdressers. I kind of always have. There was the girl that cut my hair in college. This is the one that I insisted looked exactly like Sarah Michelle Gellar, so I would visit her at the mall and pay nearly twice as much as I could have paid the … Continue reading The Single Guy and the Conditioner

Six Fictional Presidents I Would Rather See Win This Year’s Election
Look, I generally make it a point to avoid talking about politics on my blog. But I can confidently say that I am struggling with this year's presidential election. For reasons which are my own, I have a very difficult time supporting either of the major party candidates. For anyone who knows me even a … Continue reading Six Fictional Presidents I Would Rather See Win This Year’s Election
Becoming Invisible
I think I'm phasing out of existence. Maybe not out of existence. Maybe I'm just phasing out of the visible spectrum. I've been having a lot of trouble lately with automatic sliding doors. I'm sure you know the ones I'm talking about. You go to the grocery store and you don't have to do any … Continue reading Becoming Invisible
