36...

I haven’t written anything in a while, so I guess I’m due. I turned 36 years old today. Which in my mind, means I’ve turned 23 for the 14th time in my life…or so I like to tell myself. Part of me is in shock that I’ve made it this far, part of me wishes I had done things differently up until this point, part of me fully accepts my life as of now, and part of me is focused solely on surviving…

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Mein Sohn

Happy Birthday, my son. Another trip around the sun without you, but I hope that you are happy and healthy, and that you are enjoying a good life with your mom. By now, you are walking, talking, and learning something new everyday. It used to sadden me that I couldn’t witness those moments (and I guess to some degree it still does), but now I mostly wish that you are raised well, and that you…

Clippings From My Dad's Desk #4

Desiderata: Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with…

Clippings From My Dad's Desk #3

“Whatever you think matters…doesn’t. Follow this rule, and it will add decades to your life. It does not matter if you are late, or early; if you are here, or if you are there; if you said it, or did not say it; if you were clever, or if you were stupid; if you are having a bad hair day, or a no hair day; if your boss looks at you cockeyed; if you don’t get that promotion, or prize, or house, or…

Clippings From My Dad's Desk #2

My dad prioritized play in his life. He ran several businesses, but made sure to (at the expense of his businesses…to be honest) chalk out 20-30 hours per week for basketball and/or tennis. He attended nearly all of my games through college (sometimes even practices), and those of my siblings as well. He was an avid reader with a good sense of humor, and was considered generous by many. My dad…

Clippings From My Dad's Desk #1

My Dad has been dead for over 5 years. He would have been 70 this past April. I miss him dearly. My dad was an interesting character. He disliked authority, marched to the beat of his own drum, and sacrificed much of his life for his four sons. My heart aches for the time lost with him, but also (and more so) because of the time he could have had with my own sons (and vice versa…do I have 2 sons?…

Well Played ; )

I’m just gonna leave these right here…lol Sexy Son Hypothesis- This is a theory of mating preference which states that women tend to pick males with the genes to create attractive sons as their sexual partners. The rationale behind the hypothesis is that attractive male offspring possess the best chances of procreating and passing on the mother’s genes to the next generation. It also implies…

Same Shit. Different Year.

“I think in terms of the day’s resolutions, not the years’.” -Henry Moore Hmm. I probably won’t change my habits very much this year. I’ll keep doing the basics; like exercising and eating (mostly) healthy. I’ll keep taking cold showers, meditating, and journaling/blogging like I have been for the past 7 years. I’ll keep my 4 year streak without pot alive (and my 12 year streak of not partaking…

Happy Birthday, Son...

Today you turned one…at least that’s what I’ve heard. I haven’t heard from your mother since she was five months pregnant, so I’m not sure. I have yet to see you or hold you, but I’ve heard that you’re a beautiful boy. Either way, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. I love you more than you may ever know, and I wish with all my heart that I could be involved with your life in some…

"Turn It Up!"- SMCM Basketball Player to Gallaudet University AV Goons during The Pregame National Anthem circa 1976

This year (January- November according to Spotify) I listened to: 176,689 minutes (2,945 hours) of music…the equivalent of 122 days nonstop lol This apparently puts me in the top .5% of listeners worldwide (damn, bro…save some pussy for the rest of us). This was spread out over 289 genres, 8,361 artists, and 13,670 songs. My top 5 artists were Mozart, Chopin, Bach, Pink Floyd, and Beethoven…

A Glimpse

A 24-hour window; sometimes that’s all you need (and sometimes they only happen once a year or so…apparently). That’s all you need for a reminder (although sometimes painful), a fresh perspective, and/or a glimpse into a different world (sometimes a new one, and sometimes one that you may have lost…[ahem]). Whether or not this 24-hour window opens by luck, chance, or by intention, doesn’t…

15- Robert Sapolsky: Why Society Would Be Fairer If We Stopped Believing in Free Will (Stanford Psychology Podcast) (46:53-47:31 especially...dying)

This had me laughing…laughing a lot. Just along for the ride, my friend. S’many marbles…all of them lost (planned perfectly…or are they?). We for sure have free will? Right? We chose to do everything we’ve done…right? Or was it our ancestors from 400+ years ago that blessed/cursed (blursed) us…and here we are. Pretty sure this guy’s mantra is “can’t be Karen” (Karen Attahl…but he doesn’t want to…
