I have no fucking idea, buddy. But let’s have a go at it, shall we? Eat fried things. Move your body enough to work off the fried things Read books and write in the margins (don’t write in the margins if you read 50 Shades of Grey, because weirdo) Be…
Starting Funky-Fresh I applied for our new place today, fella. It’s not the greatest place, but it’s the greatest place I can afford at the moment. Things are going to get strange pretty soon, but I think you’re going to be too young to know it. That’s good, because nothing…
June 26th, 2015: The Day Love Won. I just recently accepted a new job. I mused that it will be the first time that I am making more money per year than I was when I was 23, almost 10 years ago. Nate responded in kind, “at least you aren’t…
One day you’ll learn that your parents are not as dumb as you may think. As I am writing this, I feel fairly confident that I am reasonably intelligent. I make calculated decisions based on educated opinions. However, I am certain that a year from now I will inevitably view…

Our bodies are tiny, your body especially, except your head, which is huge. (fuck my genes for not ever being able to wear hats, sorry) If you think about it long enough, you realize we’re not much more than Jello Jigglers® (I’m surprised Jello still owns that term given the…
We’ve got 3 months living in the same house full time, you and I. We’re still going to see each other almost every day, but there will be days when I don’t get to see you. Your mom and I have worked out a great schedule so you can spend…
It’s a big place, the world we live on. Sometimes we feel like we’re stuck, finite, in our place.
