I’m Not Changing, I’m Evolving

I want to make a change to how I use social media, specifically Twitter. There are essentially two large groups that make up the majority of my followers: WordPress folks, and anti-Trump folks. I feel like the latter group is distancing me from the former group. Most of y’all know my political leanings, so I…

Prelude To An Emotional Breakdown

This post’s title sounds like the name of an epic progressive metal song *cues up some Dream Theater* I’m sorry for not having posted any updates in a while. I could sit here and type up excuses, but the bottom line is that I’m just still sort of uncomfortable opening myself up to everyone. More…

I am not OK…but I’m getting better

From a mental health standpoint, I am not ok, and I’m not doing well, at all. A few weeks ago, I had my “snapping point” and I told Nancy “I need help”. After talking to some mental health professionals, I’m pretty fucked up. So far, I’ve been diagnosed with the following: * PTSD* Severe anxiety*…

DACA FAQ

Over the last few months, I’ve seen so much misinformation surrounding DACA and the Dreamers. I found this online and figured it’s easier to share this than to re-type it every time someone says “DO IT LEGALLY LIKE ERRYONE ELSE!!!!111”

Honey

My wife, Nancy, has been best friends with Melissa for over 20 years. They were college roommates and their friendship has only grown since college. Yesterday, Nancy and I attended a “Life Celebration” for Melissa’s mom, Honey, who passed away on July 15th. The very first thing I learned yesterday was that her name was…

The Man Kiss Incident

I was stationed in Sabana Seca, Puerto Rico from August of 1994 to October of 1996. It was my second duty station in the Navy and I loved pretty much everything about it. I was 20 years old when I got there, and for the next 2+ years….well, I’d like to say that I could…

My Wife Cried At the Bar Today

No, this isn’t the title of my new country/western song. As most of you know, my wife Nancy is shaving her head tomorrow and donating her long locks to WIgs for Kids. She and I have been raising money for St Baldrick’s to fight children’s cancers. She set a goal of $10,000 to reach, back…

The Fathers Day Incident

DISCLAIMER: I, AND MY CLOSE FRIENDS, HAVE A VERY WEIRD AND TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR (If you share this link on Facebook, please DO NOT tag folks involved in this story) What do I mean by this? Myself, my wife, and damn near all my friends…

#wpmom and the WordPress Community

I have been involved in the WordPress community for about 6-7 years, and I’ve always been impressed with the people that I’ve met. Coming from a .NET programming background, the WordPress community could not have been more different. I’m not bashing on .NET, it’s just that with the advent of social media, specifically Twitter, I’ve…

Help My Wife Fight Cancer

I apologize – only to a certain extent – for the click-bait of that title. To clarify, my wife, Nancy, does not have cancer. She is helping fight children’s cancers. At this point, I will pretty much do anything in order to help my wife make her goal of $10,000 all in support of the…
