My Children Believe In God

My children believe in God. That isn’t that big of a deal except that we aren’t very religious people. My children believe in God and they like to tell me that. A lot. Sometimes I think they like to rub it in because I am an Atheist, and while I support their beliefs I’m not [...]

White Belt

You will never guess what I did. I signed up for Tae Kwon Do. Well, I was tricked into signing up for Tae Kwon Do. Let me back up a little bit. My five year old son has been dying to take Tae Kwon Do ever since he found out that his best friend at [...]

When I told Gabe this story he said that those bands weren’t grindcore, maybe death core or black metal, but not grindcore. [...]

The Ray Lewis Carrot Cake

My sister-in-law is getting married in September. She has done me the distinct honor of asking me to be her matron of honor. It is in this capacity (and also due to the fact that we only live about 20 minutes apart form each other) I get to do awesome things like getting to taste [...]

The Key to Looking Younger
