A Tale of Two Hernias: Part One
So, I wanted to do a three part hernia series, but to start, I thought it would be funnier to list out the titles I thought of instead. I could go on forever. But I’ll stop for your sanity. It’s Sunday night at 8:50 right now. I am nervous to see the doc, nervous for…

Stay in your lane…
Sometimes, you need to stay in your fucking lane. Sometimes, you need to stop following that hippie to yet another location. And sometimes, you need to realize someone or something is about to swerve…. My body swerved. So recently, I had my white blood cells drop to almost nothing. Which means the slightest breeze could…

What kind of dining set defines me as a person?
Stuck here struggling just a tad with a bit of misdirected aggression lately. I mean, don’t get me wrong, misdirection is the best kind of direction.

Don’t you know the Dewey Decimal System?
So there was this guy. Melvil Dewey. God, what a terrible fucking name. Anyway, he invented the Dewey decimal system in the late 1800s, and was also kind of a massive dick. I grew up using the system at school. What I didn’t know is that he was a horrible with women. Often organizing trips…

I’m not gonna punch the puppy, but…
So, I decided today that I need a framework for this whole next chapter. And I decided that the phrase about punching puppies was a good metaphor for stirring things up. Boss: “Hey Bob, do you have that paperwork done yet?” Bob: “I don’t wanna punch the puppy, but I gave it to Roy and…

What’s all this then?
So, as promised, I started a blog. I dug deep, and found the time and the energy. Work is now a thing again, and trying to keep the goals I set for myself. Keep in mind that I need to fight for myself in life, and focus on what I want my last chapter to…
