A bipolar moment….
I’m having kind of a bi-polar day…. The annoying part about being bi-polar and being smart enough to know it, is that you can see it coming, but you can’t do a damned thing about it. Today was one of those days. I’ve felt off for most of the day not quite there, willing to [...]
Potty Training…
It started out innocently. Mom and Dad, conspiring against our youngest. “Do you think it’s time?” “It’s PAST time hon, he needs to go to pre-school in 3 months (read Mommy needs him to go to pre-school in 3 months) and we can’t send him if he’s still in Pull-Ups” “Ok, we won’t buy any [...]
QuickNote: Tolerance….
I heard some talking head on some random not-to-be-named news station talking about what a great thing “Tolerance” is. Racial tolerance, tolerance of sexual orientation, etc. He’s an idiot. Tolerance is only a start. Let’s look at the root of the word “Tolerance”….. Tolerate. We tolerate things when we don’t like them but we allow [...]
Little Feet….Big Feet

Sex & Society… (The Monitization of sex in modern culture)
I’m usually the first to say it; this will be no exception to the rule. Bear with me, because this is kind of long-winded. With the way we raise our children, I’m deeply shocked we don’t have more serial killers roaming the streets. We fuck them up from day one and expect them to just [...]
Yet Another Star-Trek Post….
A pretty lousy one actually. So my wife and I went to see the new Star Trek movie last night, as a part of the whole Mother’s Day weekend extravaganza that you have when you’re trying to honor a woman who can manage to hold our kids in some semblence of order. (Did I mention [...]
“If you have to ask for it, it’s not really a gift.”
…It’s granting a request, which, while nice, isn’t the same thing. My wife said this to me some time ago, and it took me a while to realize that the ramifications of the statement are staggering. This concept rings through in all avenues of life. In work: If you have to ask for a raise [...]
Chocolate -
I love chocolate. The taste, the feel, the way it stimulates the brain in ways very little else does. I have a weakness for it. I think about it it often. I think that as far as addictions go it’s fairly harmless, I don’t want it every day, but when I feel the urge it’s [...]
