When was the last time you had a face-to-face conversation with a friend who’s active on Facebook but don’t talk to regularly? How did that conversation go? Did you find that you knew just about everything they had to say that was ‘new’ in their lives? Yeah, I’ve been there…

December 7, 2025

Holiday shopping traditionally looked like busy malls and shops, cramped parking lots, and bus drivers waving angry fists out of driver side windows. Snow filled the sidewalks, but tire tracks kept the streets somewhat plowed for the entire month of December. Does that scene sound familiar? If so, chances are…

November 27, 2025

Have you ever noticed that when you take a vacation, the first half always feels different than the second half? The start is always fun and exciting, maybe kicking off with a drink or an excited cab ride to the airport. The second half though, that always hits different. I…

September 29, 2025

Here’s a weird take on this. One of the many rules every online game platform shares is verbal/textual conduct. No swearing, racist or homophobic slurs, among other platform-specific syntax ruling.

September 9, 2025

We’ve had a lot of good times together. Seventeen full years, plus a little extra. Words aren’t enough to express the happiness you’ve brought me through our friendship. Rest in peace, old friend. Until we meet again. You were, and always will be, a good boy.

Where I have little doubt that marriage is absolutely a confession of love for your partner until the end of time (as the promise goes), it is also no doubt the beginning of a lifelong war. The stakes? Your sanity. The reward? That blissful sheen of sweat upon your brow…
