Teddy Bear Surgery

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

So little is presently understood about the anatomy and physiology of stuffed animals. Advances in the subject have for a very long time been stifled by the social sigma placed on anyone who dissects toys or stuffed animals; branding them as “emotionally unstable” or “weird.” Thankfully, progress is now being made. Let’s have an amazing […]



The Trouble With Twerkers: An Open Letter to Miley Cyrus

Posted under NOTEBOOK

Ms. Cyrus, You don’t know us. We are dads over the age of seventeen, and as such we do not represent your target demographic although we are in the midst of raising some of your constituents. We (still here), unfortunately, are more or less invisible. That is on society, not you. However, our children, assuming […]



A Love Letter to the Outsider

Posted under NOTEBOOK

Loud and mercurial, my son is a blurry shade of all-over-the-damn-place on the plastic play structure of a park we’ve never visited before. He stomps and cheers, climbs and slides. He is my One Man Army. And I am not embarrassed for him. It’s part of what makes him so great. But children can be […]

I Met a Father Named Kanye West

Posted under NOTEBOOK

Let me be honest at the beginning here and disclose two important things before you read on. Besides the fact that I am morphing into Andy Herald… First, I have been working for 20th Television (Fox) for the past few months doing online strategy at the Kris Jenner Show, among others. These comments do not […]



Embrace Life Video

Embrace Up

Posted under EXTERNAL USE ONLY

I debated with myself about sharing this since its been around for so long and been seen by so many people. The fact that it’s sooooooo brilliant and that I lose my sh*t every time I see it changed my mind. It belongs here. Also, recently a friend showed me a scar. It wasn’t on […]



Parenterms

Parenterms: “Douchebaguette”

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

They exist. Douchebaguettes. The B word is rough, though. And the C word is just wall-to-wall taboo unless you’re Irish and referring to another man, in which case it can count as breathing with sound. When you have kids, there’s a mental censor that tends to go into play, even if you’re a d*mned total […]
