I’m old….or am I? You would think people at my age would have their stuff together, but here we are. Sometimes it gets depressing how time has passed by and at times feel like not much has been accomplished. So many hopes, dreams, whatever, squandered. And it’s not like I didn’t have the tools, or…

Listening to the Spotify account and an oldie but a goodie came on. A lot of the words and lines in the lyrics make me think of myself and my situation. Felt some of it in my angsty teenage years, and to this day even in my “grown up” adult days: “Sometimes I try to…

People who have read my articles at Life as a human or visited this site know about some of my history and why I even started this venture. I’ll be honest, even thought he subject matter is very serious, I tend to be the kind of person to make light of things, and sometimes not…

Another year in the books family. Went by so fast. Time in general has been like that. Where does the time go? Did we make most of it? Did we accomplish anything? Did we progress? Maybe. But myself, along with most, don’t feel any different. But think, who’s fault is that? As for myself, the…

Been thinking….even though I have a lot to be thankful and grateful for, even though for the most part people think I’m this happy go lucky, funny guy, people don’t know what’s really going on.

On the way in to my day job, an oldie but a goodie played on the radio that made me think. The song was “I Will Be Heard” by metal band Hatebreed. The words in that song ring so true, and in my opinion can pertain to a lot of people’s different situations. May not…

Staying in the right state of mind is important. One of the most aggravating things in my journey anyway, is knowing what to do, how to go about things, but always seeming to sabotage myself. Or, if I make some sort of progress, not capitalizing or using the momentum to my advantage. As long as…

That’s right. you can’t. I can’t. But it’s our jobs to handle our truths. Life sucks and is hard sometimes, but gotta deal. No matter the severity of what ails us, we have to accept it, and use that to move on. Not easy, but it CAN be done. Just need to be a little…

How do the sayings go? “Can’t judge a book by it’s cover”, “Looks can be deceiving”, “All that is gold does not glitter”, and so on and so on. One thing I try to do, and I have for a while, is try to be considerate, and put myself in others shoes. They don’t know…
