My Daughter, the Delinquent
You would think that at three months old, my daughter would still be full of hope and promise. But sadly, not the case. No, my little bitty baby is already on the slippery slope to a life of crime. She hasn’t started knocking over liquor stores, but I fear it’s only a matter or time.
It all started when I made an important discovery. During night feedings, the Little One would let me play on the Xbox. Soon, she even wanted to watch what was going on and was enthralled… By Saints Row.
For those...

Dad At-Home
You may have noticed that I haven’t been adding blogs like I used to. If you’re one of those six people in the world, I thank you for still bothering to visit my site.
On the 13th, I became more of a stay at home dad. Wait, what? Yes, more of a stay at home dad. You see, up until that time, my wife and I both worked from home, making things a lot easier on the both of us and potentially spoiling our daughter. Well, my wife started a new, very creative and interesting career, leaving daddy and...

Introverted: Hell Really IS Other People
You know I’ve had a rough day if I’m agreeing with a Frenchman. Just kidding, Frenchies. Your culture gave us great kissing AND great meat. Seriously, have you guys had Chateaubriand? It’s steak that practically melts in your mouth….Hm? What was I saying?
All joking aside, I am an introvert. Not in that quirky ‘I just like my space’ kind of way. I really have trouble dealing with people in the real world… I blame the Internet. 
Just kidding, Internet. Your culture gave us the best… and worst…...

Baby Brawl Blues
There are things about being a father that are entirely un-manly. One such instance being this little tidbit: My daughter beats me up.
I know, she’s only two and a half MONTHS, how is that possible? I’ll wait for you to stop laughing… Still going, huh? Well, I’m moving on without you then.
It’s been a treat watching Phoenix discovering the world and everything in it. She’s even started to gain control of all those pesky muscles and limbs that she was born with. Of course, she still has the bodi...

2014: Premature Review
Because it was so much easier to review 2013 without having Google correcting me every few details, I figured, why not do a review of 2014 now? So, here it is:
Justin Beiber was forced into retirement after a lawyer in South Texas found that his “joke” about retirement during a radio interview constituted a binding social contract. Justin Beiber refused to honor the contract and is currently serving time in an undisclosed jail.
After Ylvis’ fame died out, he became a mascot for a new initiative...

2013: A Year in Review
Well, with 2013 officially over after today, I thought it might be time to look back at the past 365 days. Rather than doing this with a search engine ablaze, I’m reviewing this year… Without Google! *gasp* I know, right?Hmm, it takes a lot of work to remember all of the events of 2013 without Google, so some of these might be a little off… or at least askew.
Russia bans the show Queer Eye for the Ex-KGB Spy, after a dismal fall season premiere. Or something.
Rob Ford, great grand cousin of Hen...

My Life as a Couch
No one ever asks a couch what they have going on. It simply doesn’t matter if your couch has plans or errands. It is there when you need it and spends as much time with you as you want.
No, I’m not under the assumption that couches have a secret life like the toys in Toy Story. Instead, I speak merely from the newly discovered point of view from my time as a couch.
When my daughter got her first round of vaccines, she had a small reaction. No, I’m not the type of first time parent that goes run...

Technical Difficulties
Normally, with today being Monday and all, I would post a Dad-At-Home blog about fatherhood or some other weird thing about being a parent. These blogs are created several weeks out and scheduled, because let’s face it, time isn’t something I have in abundance, so I write what I can when I can.
Today however, I’m going to have to forego my normal blog series. You see, last week, Phoenix got her two month vaccines. In and of itself, no big deal. However, since then, she has been feeling a littl...

Letter to Egypt
Friday the 13th is normally just a simple superstition. In fact, most Fridays that fall o the 13th have nothing too eventful happen. But on the most recent Friday the 13th, one particular news article came to my attention. It immediately made me think about a similar story from years ago. The signs are all there, pointing to a potential disaster. So I created this open letter to Egypt:
To Whom It May Concern,
I’m writing this letter to you, the rulers/governors/presidents/etc. of Egypt, because...

Sleepless
Another Monday, another Dad-At-Home post. This is for more than new parents though, because today I’ll be talking about:
Sleep deprivation.
It happens to us all for many, many reasons. Fun, stress, work, school, the reasons are many, but the end result is always the same. I have fought my way through the bowels of sleep deprivation to provide a simple little piece on how to survive those sleepless nights.
Day 1 – The Beginning
The first day isn’t the easiest, but it’s also far from the hardest....
