Life goals and making it to 2nd base with a girl. (Make it a Blockbuster night)

Honesty is the best policy. No matter what happens or how things pan out, knowing you were up front and honest is always the best policy. You have to put it out there in order to insure that you are not wasting your time or giving people opportunities to warp or even steal away your goals. You have to be committed to “this is who I am and this is what I am about”. I’ve been asked out by a few girls in my life. Not bragging, just saying. Not the kind of asking out where they meet you at a club or party and give you the “one night stand green light”, but the old fashioned “can we go […]

  If you’ve read more than one of my blogs over the years, you would know that I like to write in airports. Something about traveling and the change of scenery and people watching gets my creative juices flowing and being alone allows me the time to put some words into my iPhone as I wait for my plane to depart.

I assure you, there is nothing better for a man. My 5 year old son asked me if I miss being a kid. I told him “every […]

The Life and Times of Deputy Doug!

by chasemradio #Tryharder

Almost the entire time I was growing up it seemed like someone was living with us? My parents would have friends that were going through difficult times and those people always seemed to end up living in our guest bedroom or couch. Wives would throw them out or they would lose their jobs or go through some sort of rough patch in life and they would find themselves sitting at our dinner table. They were all good people and my parents would never expose us to anyone that they didn’t trust. You have to understand that my dad is a very intimidating man and feared by many, but deep down inside, had a soft spot for people who just needed […]
