Itchy Ass

Itchy Ass

Yes, I’m coming out of my blogging semi-retirement for a post entitled Itchy Ass. Crude? Perhaps. But at this point, does anyone want to read another word about someone else’s kids? No. That horse has been beaten thoroughly. Does anyone want to read about anymore marital cliches in the Mars/Venus tradition? Doubtful.
Do we all want [...]

Notice they are using the new technique utilizing constant chest compressions without stopping for intermittent breaths to the victim. This article, For young mom, new CPR beat back death,  addresses the subject.

Denver Ink

Denver Ink

This morning I uttered the words, “get off Daddy’s private area!” at least 5 times. No, this command was not directed towards my wife—I’ll spare you any more details on that front. This command was directed towards my daughters after they jumped in bed with us this morning and decided to play Spiderman vs Green [...]

Do They Scare Away Little Cocks?

Do They Scare Away Little Cocks?

“Do they scare away little cocks?” The conversation stopper uttered by my 4-year-old, Lulu, during our discussion on scarecrows yesterday. I’m absolutely sure there were no racial implications when she then mentioned that the aforementioned cocks happened to be black. Needless to say, MRS and I went to great pains to explain to Lulu that [...]

Profane Brilliance

Profane Brilliance

I happened upon this Louis CK clip today. What can I say? Dude’s strong. Not suitable for children or sensitive people.

My Cool New Wallpaper Is 6,000,000 Light Years Away

My Cool New Wallpaper Is 6,000,000 Light Years Away

I just showed my kids this galaxy that Hubble photographed, a mere 6,000,000 light years away. They have trouble grasping that kind of distance, and why wouldn’t they, so do I. But it kind of make a 6,000 year old universe seem kind of funny, huh? Follow this link to see the rest of the [...]

I AM THE BEST DAMNED HUSBAND THAT EVER LIVED!!!

I AM THE BEST DAMNED HUSBAND THAT EVER LIVED!!!

Oh, yes I am! Don’t you dare doubt me. MRS and I have a little date night tonight and I am going to take her to see Julie and Julia. Holy f-ing shit. I just admitted that in public. Well screw it. I don’t give a shit. MRS bore me two wonderful children. MRS puts [...]

I Need Professional Help

I Need Professional Help

Styx said it best: ta ta ta too much time on my hands.
This is what I did today after a solid hour of job hunting. Why did I chose this “activity?” Good question. I pondered things to write about but nothing inspired me until I thought back to a couple of days ago and [...]

Evolution 101

Evolution 101

It still amazes me how little people understand about evolution. Last week a close family friend who happens to be a very successful, very intelligent, high-level business executive said that he, “just doesn’t buy that humans used to be monkeys.” I almost fell off my chair and flung poop at him.

Will Work For ... You Name It

Will Work For … You Name It

Very recently I did my part to prolong the recession, increase the unemployment numbers and help worsen the Colorado state deficit; I lost my job. The last time I was out of work was close to eight years ago. I was single (well engaged), I had no kids that I knew of, I was living [...]

Brett Farve: Dude or Douche?

Brett Farve: Dude or Douche?

If you are any level of sports fan you are forced to deal with annoying stories that just won’t go away: Pete Rose gambling saga (Who cares? He’s got the BEST hair ever!), all things Roger Clemens (Is their a bigger douche?), irrelevant debates on a player’s future hall of fame status (panacea for sports [...]

Weird Night On The Road

Weird Night On The Road

I’m one of those people that has no problem flying solo to a bar, movie, hike, etc. I liked the alone time as a single man and as a husband/parent, I NEED it. Fortunately, I travel at least once a month which is a nice break from the daily chaos.
More often than not, when I [...]

Fox News or Fox Just Make Stuff Up? You Decide.

Fox News or Fox Just Make Stuff Up? You Decide.

I guess journalism is simply a matter of firing up your followers regardless of facts and truth. This video picks on Fox, but both sides are equally guilty.

Not Quite The Center Of The Universe

Not Quite The Center Of The Universe

For some weird reason, my wife is constantly talking to me about how size really does matter. Apparently, she’s right.
Make sure to turn up the volume really high to enjoy the awesome Star Trek-esq music.

Easy Riders

Easy Riders

I’m curious. When did it become necessary to don bike leotards to ride a bike? Where was that line of demarcation drawn? I’ve been riding a bike all my life and not once have I ever thought, “boy this T-shirt is really slowing me down.”
OK. If you’re a world-class athlete named Lance or Floyd: go [...]

The Creepy Aspect Of Writing A Parenting Blog

The Creepy Aspect Of Writing A Parenting Blog

Back when I started this blog in 2006 my kids played a prominent role and that role has diminished as time has progressed. Now that they are 4 and 6, I feel like I’d be impinging on their personal space if I wrote in more than general terms about them. As babies, it really doesn’t [...]

I Wish I Got Married Sooner (words you'll never hear)

I Wish I Got Married Sooner (words you’ll never hear)

Richard Jefferson is getting roasted in the media for jilting his smoking hot fiancee at the altar. I just listened to Howard Stern interview RJ, and Howard, in his infinite wisdom, hit the nail right on the head—Jefferson did the right thing.
First of all, RJ did not break off the former Nets dancer two hours [...]

No One Thinks Palin Is Qualified For Prez

No One Thinks Palin Is Qualified For Prez

This CNN piece enlightens us that Republicans are losing executive office faith in our favorite hockey mom faster than celebrities are dropping dead. True—Palin is a media lightning rod—but this un-stimulating, cliche´ machine should get no closer to the oval office that any of us would during a public tour of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I’m [...]
