I’ve always been “the nice guy.” I hold doors for people, I return shopping carts to where they need to go, I return money when I’m given too much change, I point out if I’m not charged enough for what I’m buying, I don’t curse, and whenever possible/reasonable, I’ll try to sacrifice my comfort for the sake of … Continue reading Embracing My Anger
Star Wars: The Feminine Menace
The Rise of Skywalker is out, finally bringing the latest Star Wars trilogy to a close. Episodes 7, 8, and 9 have been epic, funny, sweet, sad, charming, and always hella fun.

Father and Son 2: A Poetic Sequel for the #MeToo Era
After writing the first Father and Son poem, I got some great feedback from friends and soon realized I still had more to say. Thus, Father and Son 2 was born. In the first poem, the father takes his time to reply and try to show his son a beautiful way to live his life. It's kind … Continue reading Father and Son 2: A Poetic Sequel for the #MeToo Era
