And so it is, I’ve officially made two laps around the sun without actually moving. Now, it’s understandable that people might assume that this particular day would be one of my worst. Not really the case, though. I’m not sure about anyone else in situations like mine, but the actual anniversary date doesn’t mean a whole…

A Christmas story
I know what you’re thinking, and no, this doesn’t have anything to do with me shooting my eye out, getting my tongue stuck to a pole, or a leg-lamp (FRA-GI-LE! Must be Italian!)…. I wish my stories were that cool! Fact of the matter is, although they may not be movie-worthy, we all have some…

A broken man’s plea
Make sure you appreciate your lives. Thank God every day for the blessings he’s given you. Tell friends and family every day exactly what they mean to you. Enjoy the smallest things in life. Give someone a hug. High five somebody. Go to the beach. Walk under the stars. Walk in the rain. Make a…
