It has been said on more than one occasion that we’ve all got a little freak in us. John Huges once said, “We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” For me, I’m more of a control freak than anything else. I don’t hide it. I’ve tried. But
It’s almost that time of year again when you set your New Year’s resolutions and claim that you’re going to eat healthier. I don’t know about you, but that is not my strongest quality.

It’s not every day that an Irishman walks out of a bar. Typically, they walk in, stay a while, and end up being carried out by some of their best mates. We love the Irish, though. They’re renowned for their quick wit and clever wordplay. You can always depend on an Irishman to know just
There’s nothing worse than wandering around in the dark only to hit your shinbone on a piece of furniture. For me, it’s usually the coffee table in the middle of the night or the corner of the bed first thing in the morning. Once my shin takes the brunt of it, a string of expletives
Vulnerability is an inevitable part of the human condition. We try to pretend that we’re invulnerable at times because we want to appear tough. Well, that and no one likes to see adults cry. It’s weird and uncomfortable. There are a LOT of things I don’t know. I’m sure some of what I don’t know
