The Incredible Mr. Write

A long time ago, in a neighborhood not so far away,  a really compelling television show was much like Haley's Comet: it was a rare sight that only flashed across the heavens once in a great while. If you weren't lucky enough to catch it when it happened, you were doomed to wait weeks, months or years plodding along through re-runs of Gilligan's Island before ever seeing its brilliance again. Then, decades later, something beautiful happened: someone reached toward the heavens and stole fire from the gods in the form of streaming sites. Netflix, HuluPlus, HBO Go abounded with entertainment both familiar and original - entertainment we consume in heaping helpings like ravenous pop culture pythons. What follows is a list of the most influential, provocative and binge-worthy shows in the last decade. It's by no means a definitive list; there are far too many televised masterpieces to make that a possibility. Consider this an appetizer of the endless buffet that is binge T...

Tinsel is not your friend.  I don't care what they say, there's not a whole heckuva lot of peace on earth during the Christmas rush.  Department stores keep  putting up decorations earlier each year. Pretty soon, they'll never take them down. We'll have Halloween masks hanging next to stockings and sleigh bells. We'll have to combine holidays:  Hallothanksgristmas .  I'm definitely  copyrighting  Hallothanksgristmas .  Snowmen never look as good as they do on TV.  Waiting until the last minute to shop for gifts is a little like jumping off a train that's already gone over the cliff. It's not gonna be pretty.  Hot Cocoa somehow tastes better on Christmas. I make a mean Christmas Wassail.  I'm pretty sure when they say "have a cup of cheer," they mean Jack Daniels.  It doesn't matter how carefully you store Christmas lights, they will never work right the next year. You can never have too much egg...

Just because  you map out your life, doesn't mean that's the path you'll follow. Thirty isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Forty on the other hand... If you're not happy  where you are, get out now. If you want respect , you have to give it.   Likewise , if someone doesn't give you respect, they shouldn't be surprised if you don't give a s**t what they think. No matter what  you do, somebody's gonna bitch about it. If nothing else , keep your shoes polished.  It's not about what  you are, it's about who you are.  If they don't like it , tough. You know the truth.  I have  and always will hate rude people. I'm definitley not  the same guy I was five years ago.   The club scene wasn't for me . You can't find love surrounded by strobe lights and booze.  I don't deserve forgiveness , lucky for me God doesn't agree.  My wife is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.  I don't care what ...
