Formulating the plan

Last week I talked about identifying my weaknesses as a writer and announced my plan to create my own master class on writing. In the week since, I’ve been diving into the planning phase a bit more. I know what I want to learn, I just have to find the best ways to learn it. […]

Can't let winter stop me from getting healthier

Can’t let winter stop me from getting healthier

It’s taken me a long time to become okay with the fact that I’m never going to be Ryan Reynolds. There are a lot of reasons this is depressing. It isn’t just the shrink-wrapped abs. And, yet, I also know I can’t just frolic in my jumboness. I’m okay with being fat, but not really […]

I will do better in 2017

Happy New Year! Now that this blog has been around for more than six years and over 1,000 posts, it might be time to start taking it seriously. For the last couple of years, I’ve tried and failed to update the blog on a regular basis. I would tell myself, “You just have to write […]

Empty Spaces Part 3

Once again, I find myself leaving behind the empty spaces. Each time I’ve done this in the past, he has felt like closing a chapter on my life. This time, however, instead of being forced to change paths by circumstance and misfortune, I am beginning the next chapter on my own terms. For the last […]

Cold, Rainy, Chili…

Man, am I tired. It has been a long, long day. Well, maybe it’s not that long of a day. In the grand scheme of things. Today hasn’t been any longer than any other day. Time just doesn’t work that way. But, it has been cold and rainy. Today was the kind of day built […]

I’ve Always Been A Dog Person

I think most children have an imaginary friend. My parents probably knew there was something wrong with me when I didn’t–I had an imaginary Scottish Terrier. I’ve Always Been a Dog Person If cats are the ninjas of the animal world, dogs are the samurai. Fierce, loyal, honorable protectors of home and family. Sometimes silent. […]

The Incredibly Long and Endless Journey of Self-Fulfillment

Early in this blog’s history, I wrote a series of posts declaring my self-improvement intentions.  Though I haven’t always been moving in the right direction, I have managed to keep one foot in front of the other. Now, a mere four years, six months, and twenty-six days later, I’ve decided it is time for me to […]

The Anxiety of Making Writing Serious Business

I used to be good at this. Well, honestly, I was probably never that good at it, but blogging was easy for me once. These days, I’m having trouble getting myself in the groove on anything important. I’m sorry. That’s way too whiney for what I want to say. I’m suffering a pretty strong block. The […]

Weekend of Lifetime Setbacks

The worst thing about hitting a deer is the knowledge that there is absolutely nothing you can do to not hit the deer.   How was your weekend? Mine was… well, long and full of heartache. I decided to launch Fallout this weekend, without stopping to think about the fact that no one ever buys […]

I’m never going to wash my car again, and You can’t Make me

I washed my car on Sunday. It was 60°F (15.5°C) out. The sun was shining. It was a beautiful day to get some fresh air and give my focus the bath it was desperately begging for. Only on the outside, though. It remains filthy and tainted with years of debris on the inside… just like […]
