All I do is stress. Stress about money. Stress about stability. Stress about growth. Stress about good health. I touched on subjects like prostate cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and mental illness all last week. Men have a hard time dealing with illness because society translates it into weakness. At least for men. This stressing will do... Continue Reading →
Saving shouldn't be a tradeoff. I am determined now more than ever to pay off my debts and start my emergency fund. I had my two cars break down on my fixed budget. I had no idea where or when I could get the money to repair them. My bank accounts were at a total... Continue Reading →
Your ex is moving states away with the beautiful child you both made. You work yourself into a complete frenzy. Go after them. Wait. Call the police for kidnapping. Seriously? My coworker confessed this. But his story is all too familiar. He is one of many parents who is ripped from their children during divorces... Continue Reading →
I know it can be a little intimidating, but learning these programs are a must for bloggers. And you know what I'm talking about. The meme that make us literally laugh out loud.

Like a grand performance in front of thousands. But... Continue Reading →
I begged the heavens and the cosmos to give me a little girl. A little, precious girl to teach her about the world and men. Self-worth and confidence. I was convinced women need men and vice versa. And there are some lessons only a dad can give. Men have a way of tearing down intrinsic... Continue Reading →
I don't get to write poetry enough. It's a side of myself that evokes feelings I never considered. From time to time, I will share a little piece that I've worked on or in the works of finishing. I'm no Edgar Allen Poe, but I think this is a great outlet. You should try it.... Continue Reading →
After years of searching and waiting, my wife landed a career. Not just a job. You know, the ones that come with health benefit and retirement options. Of course, as soon as my wife got the news, she came running to me. I'm the numbers guy. She was just as excited as I was after... Continue Reading →
It's so cool when book reviewers or v-bloggers make lists of books they want to read or to be read (TBR). It gives me hope of reading the next mind-capturing novel. I'm a bookie at heart. But I feel like I make up excuses why I can't enjoy reading. I remember my family making fun of... Continue Reading →
