I’m a 50-year-old man. I’ve been married to the same woman for 18 years and have never cheated. I don’t believe I ever will. But that doesn’t mean I don’t notice pretty girls. I do. I’m a man. It’s natural. At our core, all humans are just animals. All animals reproduce to keep their respective species going. The desire to reproduce is coded into our DNA. The mere thought of having sex is simply our biological desire to advance the…
Earlier today I tweeted that my life had been threatened at a traffic signal. I think I owe it to you to explain a little. First, today is the first day of spring break. The kids are home. The wife took the week off. Tomorrow we’re going to Charleston for a few days. So today was a great day to get my wife and kids into the USPS for their passports. We arrived around 1030.

Last night I lost a dozen or so followers after a tweet about my ass. I just happened to notice this because of those stupid numbers on Twitter that show us how valuable we are to the world.

The fact these guys are all pushing 60 gave me hope for being pretty active later in life. Before the intermission, Geddy Lee even joked, “Because we are very old men, we must now take a short intermission.” After the break, they came back and played Moving Pictures in its entirety. Moving Pictures was…
Entitlement is the biggest lie that your ego whispers. ** Too many children today are on drugs. We didn’t have ADD when I was a kid. We had “Jimmy, pay *#(%@ attention!” We were just kids with vibrant and active imaginations. And no, we didn’t sit still very well either. Parents today are lazy. ** It’s not even April and I’m booked. No, my life is not nearly as sexy as yours, but there’s something big every day in mine…
Last week, the Charlotte Observer ran a story stating that the Foo Fighters were rumored to be in Charlotte on Saturday as part of their White Limo Tour. I never got into Nirvana, but I like the Foo Fighters and love the energy that Dave Grohl has as a writer and musician. Anyway, a few people in social media shared the Observer story with me, knowing that I’m a fan, and together we speculated on where they’d show up to…
