agony (n): \ˈa-gə-nē\ The feeling experienced by a human male after being shot in the nuts with a paintball gun, often accompanied by blurred vision, intense waves of nausea, copious swearing, and a pain unlike none other. I was awakened by a text message yesterday morning. Bleary-eyed, I reached over to my nightstand and grabbed [...]

I Am The Anti-Winter

That’s right. I hate it. There is little about winter that appeals to me. Honestly, the only fond memories I have of winter are my dad pulling the crew and me around in a john boat behind the tractor in the frozen snow. Then, we’d all come in, sit by the wood stove, and drink [...]

Show of hands – how many of you have been keeping up with your New Year’s resolutions? Anyone? I made it a solid month. That’s about 8% of the year. If this were college, 8% would be a hardcore “F.” Possibly an “F-”… if those actually existed. I had such high hopes too. What is [...]
I’ve recently posted here regarding how I don’t feel like my job is a good fit for me. A few months ago, I was promoted into a position that ended up being almost the complete opposite of what was pitched to me. I’ve since been miserable pretty consistently, five days a week… sometimes more. I’m [...]

“This is going to hurt,” James thought to himself before he even opened his eyes. Although he couldn’t see anything, the world seemed to be swimming beneath him.

Last weekend found me sitting on a bench in the foyer of our local Kohl’s store. My brothers, Josh, Jake, and Max, had come up to visit us for a couple of days, and they had wanted to go shopping while they were here. My brothers are notorious for holding up checkout lines, as then [...]
I worked 15 hours and 45 minutes today. That’s almost two work days in one. My day was absolutely terrible. I’m tired. I’m irritable. I’m going to finish my beer and go to bed. So, in order to entertain you in my place, I give you a bunny with a pancake on its head. [...]
