Wha…what the hell? Where am I? Why is there a huge pile of…oh no. No! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Goddamn it all to hell! That’s the last time I let anyone buy me a McRoofie!

The Year That Is
I’ve never been a big believer in New Year’s Resolutions. All too often they are things we’d like to do, not things we are resolute in achieving. But for me, this year, I need to change. 2012 was good enough, but I need to stop settling for good enough. I want to be in a … Continue reading »
