“Listen as your day unfolds. Challenge what the future holds. Try and keep your head up to the sky.” Have you ever heard a song play at a weird time, and although it is likely random, feels like it’s divine intervention or from a psychic portal from beyond? Yeah? Me too. The drive from workContinue reading “Just Right Rambly”

Virtual Insanity
You don’t want to write right now. The thought puts its arm around my shoulder, all buddy-buddy-like, pushing me to do anything but open my laptop. I prefer to put the two-plus hours in the passenger seat to good use, but the thought is onto something, so blankly, I stare out the window at theContinue reading “Virtual Insanity”
Safe Harbor
“I prefer to go deep and enjoy working with those eager to do the same.” This statement is from my Psychology Today profile and the words I find that resonates the most with people. I laugh to myself a little these days when I hear someone say, “I want to go deep.” Not because whatContinue reading “Safe Harbor”
8-Bit Livin
Do you know how many ideas fly through my mind about what to write in this space in a day? The day’s coming when I’ll turn into something akin to a seasoned comedian. You know the kind. The ones that ask for a pen from the waiter so that they can then jot down aContinue reading “8-Bit Livin”
Paternity Test 1, 2, 3
“Hi. Are you Michael? Could you have a daughter born in 1982 somewhere out there in the world? Yes? Oh, well then, I’m her. That’s me.” I spoke to my biological father today for the first time in my life. He knew I existed but didn’t know my name; I’ve known his for ten yearsContinue reading “Paternity Test 1, 2, 3”
Cart Rant
This could be an ode to a Seinfeld-type of blog; just a whole lot of nothing with a little bit of something. Now that has a ring to it. Anyway if it’s like Seinfeld I need to rant about something, right? How about people that ogle over kids with their toy shopping carts. What isContinue reading “Cart Rant”
Pardon My Growth
Insecurity is like a massive stain on the front of a white shirt. You can move your arms in front of it, consciously contorting this way and that to try and cover it up. But no matter what, whether anyone notices or not – you know it’s there. It’s hard to break from the “I’mContinue reading “Pardon My Growth”
Stay
I sat at a virtual poker table with a chatty player, a guy that’d been in the military for 20+ years. When I told him what I did for a living, he said, “Thank you for what you do.” That’s a new one. I’m used to “Boy do I need to see you!” or “IContinue reading “Stay”
Sinking Dingy
Would you save someone who was drowning – flailing about, choking down water? What if you knew you’d likely go under with them in the process? Change the lake to a therapy session and the water to emotions, and you can understand my dilemma. So what I did was I decided not a save theContinue reading “Sinking Dingy”
Quit to Wit
You know the experience of having a friendship end, the pain and confusion, how difficult it is, and how you change because of it? That’s how it felt when I stopped blogging. At first, it was a hot and heavy love affair. Blogging and I spent one hundred and twenty days straight together, filled withContinue reading “Quit to Wit”
