Uniting In Fury

Uniting In Fury: Vol. 4

The fourth installment of Uniting In Fury is upon us, which may have you thinking I just sit around mad all the time. I don’t. I’m usually standing. 1. When hair is anywhere but on a head. Healthy hair is a beautiful thing, until it’s on a table—or in your ravioli. It goes from, “Your […]

I Must Confess

I Must Confess

A lot of times, I don’t like what—seemingly—everyone else on the planet likes. Bacon, for instance. I’m not in the “bacon makes everything better” camp. I’m in the bacon-overwhelms-everything-with-bacon-flavor camp. I can see y’all reacting like this already: I know; I’m used to it. That’s the same reaction someone has when they find out I […]

I Wish I Was Better

Like most people, I fall short in many ways. I wish I was better at managing my time—at turning off my work mind, and turning on my calm mind. I wish I was better at goal-setting, and not allowing mindless iPhone scrolling to replace actually productivity. I could document a laundry list of things I’d […]

Share If You Agree

I’m not afraid to say I’m sorry—and some of these apologies are long overdue. Facebook has done all it can do to help us declare our love, devotion and allegiances; but I feel like I’ve not only let them down, but scores of others, due to my unwillingness to share what I’m told to share. […]

Say What?

I make every attempt possible to never say never. I even outlined my reasoning behind this ongoing personal goal here. But this is different. Even though I don’t say things like, “I’ll never get a bad tattoo” or “I’ll never leave the oven on” (for fear of eating my words), I’m relatively certain you’ll never […]

Patience Cards™

T: West, can you spare a few Patience Cards™? Me: Sure, what’s up? T: My mom called and they’re having issues with their router. She asked if I could come help my dad sort it out. Me: *sympathetic silence* Please take what you need. T: I wouldn’t ask, but I just loaned my sister my […]

I Peel Bananas Wrong

The internet recently brought to my attention that I peel bananas wrong. I watched the video intently, as some guy demonstrated the right way to do it (i.e. the way a monkey does it.) I made a mental note to try this method ASAP, as I’m not in the business of purposefully doing things wrong. […]

Uniting In Fury (Again)

Remember when we United In Fury a while ago? I shared with you some things that made me a LOT madder than they should (misbehaving clothes hanger, I’m looking at YOU.) I found out that we truly did unite, because many of you expressed getting unduly upset by things way less serious than a canceled […]

Unexpected Joy

So many things make me happy. Little things like finding $5 in my coat pocket, and big things like finding $20 in my dad’s wallet. I realized this week that a few other things make me abundantly and irrationally happy. I’d like to share my joy with you now. 1. My Mom’s Unintentional Hilarity: Here […]

I’m Judging You

I’m judging you and really do feel a little bad about it. I think we’ve all read articles, blog posts, status updates and tweets with commentary on the misuse of words like “your” and “you’re.” Some people say it’s their #1 pet peeve. My feelings are a bit different. I’ll paint you a picture: When […]
