FiveDollarMeltdown
Subscribe to get access We finally made the last payment on my wife’s New car! Although she would seldom make her payments on time (I would make the payment, and she would give me her half of the obligation) she still managed to make them. I am proud of her for keeping her end of the bargain. And now for the rant, because you knew it was coming: It must be nice to have a brand-new car for only…

Facebook Fiasco
New Post
Subscribe to get full access My first exposure to social media was Myspace. I’m certain this is true for almost anyone. I think there was a platform called High5 or something like that. I tried them for a while, but Myspace seemed to dominate, so I stayed with them until they fell off. Facebook emerged and took over as the number one social media platform. Google came out with their platform and…

My Wife, The Martyr
New post
Subscribe to get access Jesus Christ, help me. Someone. Anyone. Save Me. My wife is the biggest martyr I think I have ever encountered. No matter the situation, she has every right to humiliate the oldest child, who suffers from autism, and if I call her out on it, she will spend the rest of her day and energy finding a way to try to flip and reverse the situation to make me feel like the bad…

Subscribe to get access Today, I had the strangest sense of overwhelming sadness come over me as my wife and I were in Hobby Lobby. We were just standing there looking at some of the bohemian tapestry and I all of a sudden missed my late aunt. My aunt was like a second mother that we would visit when I was a kid once a year for nearly 18 years. She was ill and… Read more of this content when…

Final Requests
#BlogTherapy #Life #Death #Family #Regrets #Journal #Confession
I have had two people in my life, who are no longer living, ask me for a favor that I never got around to doing for them. I had an Aunt that had received one of those combination Record/Tape/Radio/CD players as a gift from someone. Soon after receiving it, she called me to ask me if I could show her how to use the device to record some of her old tapes onto CD. She was convinced this was an…

Workaholic
#BlogTherapy #Journal #Work #Workaholic #IsThisNormal #TheShining
I wonder if there are support groups. I think I’m a workaholic. I don’t even like my job, but here I am giving more than 100% on most days. When I’m not at work, I’m thinking of ways to be more efficient at work. I can’t truly enjoy my time off because I am always thinking about this. Always. At least with this job when I go on vacation I can get away and not have to worry about the possibility…

Superpowers
#BlogTherapy #Journal #Superpower #Life #Fantasy #DayDream
Subscribe to get access I don’t feel particularly gifted with talent but have come to accept that maybe I’m just a Humanitarian. I hate to see people mistreated. I hate to see people struggle. I enjoy helping others find solutions to their problems. But, we live in a world that has countless professions and areas of expertise. How could one know what their superpower is if they cannot visit all…

Universe. Why Do You Hate Me
New Rant. #BlogTherapy #Journal #Life #HealthInsurance #Scam #Medical #Insurance #Karma
I don’t understand. You would think by now that I would be used to this type of treatment. It never ceases to amaze me. So much so, that I created the mantra inside my head, “There’s nothing to be excited about until there’s something to be excited about”. Oh, my package will arrive on Monday? I’ll wait until I see it on my doorstep before I will allow myself to get excited. Income tax return in…

Subscribe to get access In my party days, I met this girl, whom we will call Erin. The year is 2005. The way I met Erin is not unusual but the whole encounter had an unusual atmosphere. I was at a local bar that I had grown comfortable with because the place was fairly large but never overcrowded. I became accustomed to the regulars there and it became just a good place to hang out. The place…

#blogtherapy #journal #writing #dreams #nightmares #Life #religion
Subscribe to get access I have always been fascinated, intrigued, and moved by music and movies. I’ve toyed with the idea of writing music but can never seem to get more than a few lines before burning out. I don’t know how to stick to the topic and keep it going for three minutes. I have always been a fan of wordplay, rhymes, metaphors and puns. I think what deters me the most, is even if I…

WhatsWrongWithMe Part 2 available now. The One That Got Away. #blogtherapy #theonethatgotaway #unicorn #relationships #life #breakingupishardtodo
But as always, I let my brain get in the way. I always overthink things and make things worse than what they are, in my head. As we were nearing graduation, I was already panicking about our future. She was certain she would be going to college. I was certain that I was not. I knew the dynamics of that type of relationship were just not going to work. Her parents were college graduates and my…

WhatsWrongWithMe Part 1 available now. The One That Got Away. #blogtherapy #theonethatgotaway #unicorn #relationships #life #breakingupishardtodo
To quote my all time favorite movie, “All of this, the gun, the bombs, the revolution has something to do with a girl named Marla Singer”. I often wonder if others think about “The One That Got Away” in their life. Not only think about it but dwell upon it. For me, it goes a bit psycho-further than that. I not only still think about TOTGA but have delayed certain parts of my life because of…

NamingYourChild
Naming Your Child #BlogTherapy #Parenting #Rant
Subscribe to get access I never understood people who name their children after themselves. It feels like a narcissistic power move. Whenever I see this happen, this is what I hear in my head, “I’m so great and terrific I’m naming my kid after myself”. In reality, it’s boring, uncreative, and above all else socially crippling for the child. There are two cases I know personally that was simply…

Grant Me The Strength #autism #Parenting #ScreamIntoTheVoid
I can’t go thru another child having autism. It is becoming more evident that our four-year-old has sensory issues specifically with the sense of touch. She wears the same clothes for days or a week at a time. When we make her change clothes the scene transforms into something made for horror films. If you have ever seen the film Aliens, when Ripley finds Newt and manages to pull her from her…
