Truth be told, I've been scared my whole life. Scared with school, career, choices, getting married, becoming a father, etc. You name it; almost every experience in life has come with a certain amount of fear. Fear of failing, losing, getting fired; break ups, screwing up the kids, etc. The list goes on. To say […]
Hi I'm Chase Patrick Murphy and I take pictures of bad parking jobs. I not only take these pictures, but I share them with the world via social media. Friends of mine take these pictures too and send them to me. Some people tag me in these photos or post them on my wall. I'm […]
When you are a kid you are proud of your scars. You show off your scabs like badges of honor and accomplishment.

The other day my best friend and I were having lunch together and in the middle of the meal I said to him “I just want you to know how proud I am of you and all that you have been able to accomplish”. Strange and unexpected statement to be made while we were stuffing […]
