The End
The squatter leaves this weekend. Finally. And all the squatter’s disgusting stuff will be gone too. I wish it had happened much sooner. I’ve tried to be patient. I’ve tried to ignore the numbness inside me that prevents me from feeling the pain of remembering what life used to be. I’ve tried to be understanding…

Happy Anniversary!
WordPress told me that today is my one year anniversary blogging. ROCK ON!! It’s been an entire year already. I remember when I started. My goal was to stop censoring myself and finally speak my mind without holding back. I was so afraid of offending people. Fast forward to today…I don’t hold back even on…

My therapist is leaving but…
I have reconnected with the one I had before! We had our first session last week and it went really well. I was so worried about contacting her because she left counseling completely when she left the place I was going last year. But then 6 months later, I found her again and she was…

I see you, Spider-Man
This is me, somewhere between 3-4 years old. I very vaguely remember these pajamas, but I do know without a doubt that I picked them out myself. I think the shirt fit much longer than the pants did because I grew fast in height at this age. I remember the shirt more than the pants,…

Why?
This morning I recorded a podcast with my dad. We get along all the time now, for the most part. He still sometimes says things that are annoying and he loves to talk. He loves attention more than anyone else I know. It used to make me so mad when it seemed like he was…

Myers-Briggs, 16 personalities, whatever
So I’ve taken this test like 100 times and every single time I get a different personality type that doesn’t actually fit very well. A friend shared results on social media and I took the test a few days ago and got yet another unfitting result. Then my wife said she took it and so…

May 30, 2007
Sangin, Helmand province, near the Kajaki Dam…one Chinook helicopter is shot down, supposedly by multiple rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). I was there, 30K+ feet above it all. We moved to assist the recovery operations. The helicopter had been on fire when it crashed so there were definitely no survivors. Then there was an ambush on the…

Unpopular Opinion
I saw Dear Evan Hansen last Saturday. I knew it won a bunch of Tony Awards. I knew it was well loved and very popular. And I did not like it. I loved parts of it, I must admit. There were some great songs. The acting was really good but the characters weren’t as developed…
