PEOPLE R $#!T | Reality Checks

I hate writing posts like this…but this is the Reasonable Dose. Facts over Feelings. Dammit! It’s true. People are (sometimes) ABSOLUTE TRASH! Disclaimer: I’m a very hopeful person. I had to write sometimes above because from time to time, the paths of good people cross. From time to time, us good people, can be caught on a good day, when they forget just how bad MOST people are and there can be genuine connections made. That’s why I said sometimes. I love people. I love what we are capable of. I also loathe what we are capable of. What are...

Women vs The Stick Shift

I WROTE THIS BACK IN 2015 – Keep that in mind as you read this… I’m married with 2 daughters and I notice lots of differences between how men and women act in different situations. I love watching the differences and trying my best to dissect why this is the case. Recently, my wife (FindingTiffany) was in a car accident. She’s ok. But she was driving our family SUV on the way to work was rear-ended, and had to drive another car we have that’s a stick-shift while our family car, an automatic, was being fixed. I taught her how...

Donna Wasn’t Racist

When I started my career as a work-study in my senior year of High School, I was BY FAR the youngest person in the office, at 17 years old.  Everyone liked me, and I liked everyone. So, from the time the school year started up to Halloween, I already had two months in the office under my belt.  There was a woman, Donna, who wasn’t in my chain of command, or even in my direct office. She was in the adjacent office, but pretty close by.  Donna was a woman from a semi-rural, semi-suburban part of Anne Arundel County in...

Stereotypes are GREAT for COMEDY!!!

 As far as making a good joke is concerned we need a lot of good stereotypes to be tossed in. Absent stereotypes or cultural, racial, gender tendencies you’ve got a bad joke. It’s much harder to envision yourself in a situation that makes NO sense vs. a situation you’ve been in before. Let me be clear, a bad joke is one that does not make “sense”. In this case, the ‘socially acceptable sense’. Here are a few weird examples of jokes that DO NOT make sense based on cultural norms: Joke Starts: “I was in line behind a Jewish...

Double Standards for White People

Kendrick Lamar brings a fan (white girl) on stage to sing the chorus of his song m.A.A.d city. There are a few mentions of the N-Word in this song. Watch the video to see what the fan does.  There seems to be a double standard when it comes to speech. In this case, black people seem to be able to have a “lock” on the use of the N-Word. White people cannot say this word as freely. I’m not debating whether this should or shouldn’t be the case. Is there a double standard that we are willing to accept?...

It’s Awkward giving another Man Underwear!

I found some undies in an empty, lonely cart when I parked at my local big box store. So I grabbed them. But, they weren’t my size. So I had to find a man to give them to…ENTER MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF AWKWARD!!! I can be a secret Santa and just leave something like this on the doorstep of some unsuspecting Large Underwear Sized Male…but that’s creepy. How do I give the gift of Underwear to another man? We are both straight, and it’s just awkward. I even made a video….check it out

Ban Guns OR Arm Teachers?

GOOD GRIEF. Are these our only choices? They can’t be, but SOMETHING MUST be done! On that, I think we all can agree. In Vlog #8 I wanted to talk about the mass shooting in Florida. I’m frustrated, I’m sickened, I also am trying to NOT LISTEN to anyone that claims to have a solution. I wanted to put it out there for TEAM REASON. What should sensibly be TRIED, to stop the mass shootings at schools? Blanket things like BANNING ALL GUNS is just unreasonable, and maybe arming teachers is also. But there’s got to be SOMETHING we can...

I think they tried to steal from me…

In Vlog #7 My daughter’s school tried to deny giving me $15 change for a $5 field trip when I pulled out my $20. It was against policy to give change, and I either had to go home OR give the difference to the school as a donation. I’m not against donating in any way, but the fact that they said something cost $5 and said it was ‘against policy’ to give me change…WELL – THAT JUST RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY. Am I off base? Let me know! As usual, let me know what you think. Not going to...
