Heck folks, today’s a day where I find myself questioning some of those existential pieces of life, specifically, what the heck am I going to do?

When we first moved back to the city, we were excited to see that there was a karate dojo just a couple blocks away from our new home. Our boys were excited at least. And during the time it took for me and the wife to get comfortable in the new digs, a pandemic shotContinue reading “The Karate Kids”

I don’t need to tell you that the last couple of years have been a rollercoaster. Obviously with the craziness of a presidential election and all of the social unrest bubbling over the top, not to mention things like a little attempt at a coup happening a little over a year ago, we’ve just hadContinue reading “The Emotional Rollercoaster of COVID”

While I’ve never really sought out horror flicks, I’ve watched tons of them over my lifetime. As a kid who literally ran out of the room when Mad Marge’s eyes turned into cartoon eyes during Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, I never would have expected to be someone who would enjoy the scarier things in cinema,Continue reading “The Scariest Movie I’ve Ever Seen”

I’ve long thought that at some point in my life, I should find a way to get up on stage and attempt stand up comedy. Not because I consider myself particularly funny, but just that it seems to be this odd form of vulnerability that you can’t quite find anywhere else.

Hey folks, So, I have to apologize here real quick. Because one of the intentions I had for this space when I was initially working on coming back, was to fill it with far more examples of my creative writing, instead of just putting out a bunch of random crap-posts about whatever is on myContinue reading “Crafting Fiction”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a huge fan of naps. Not that I’ve always been super good at actually taking them, but I’ve definitely loved them. When I started having kids in my life was probably the best time I’ve ever had for taking naps. Considering I have a special skillContinue reading “Why Are Naps So Awesome? And So Hard to Find?”

We’ve officially made it past the shortest day of the year (you know, ~2 weeks ago), and in Wisconsin, that means that we’re currently making our way through the coldest days of the year as we wait for the sun to actually come back, even if our days are a little bit longer than theyContinue reading “Here Comes The Sun”

Early on into the pandemic, I found myself in this weird place where although the world really didn’t feel all that abnormal, something still felt off in my life. I obviously wasn’t going to too many places, but it was probably somewhere around the start of summer where I got to this point where itContinue reading “The Power of Noise”

If there’s one thing I’ve missed most during this pandemic, it’s probably travel. That’s not to say that my family and I haven’t had the opportunity to travel at all during the past two years. In fact, we had an amazing week in the Black Hills of South Dakota, and a once-in-a-lifetime road trip fromContinue reading “Another One of the Little Things I Miss”
