When I heard about Lane Graves, the toddler killed by an alligator at Disney, I almost threw up. My son is 23-months old, roughly the same age as Lane. I have a picture of him hugging a teddy bear he got for Christmas. His face is beaming as he holds it [...]
I was twelve when I first learned about homosexuality. My family was on vacation in Provincetown, Massachusetts; we were visiting my uncles, Joel and Ray. The thing is, only Joel was a blood relation to my father. In Provincetown, a Gay Mecca during the summer months, I saw men holding [...]
When The Donald announced he was running for president, I laughed. Hell, I think everyone did. The media, late night talk show hosts, foreign leaders… it was a joke. Who would ever vote for a reality TV show host? A male Sarah Palin? A failed businessman who leases his name because [...]

When Jay Cutler signed his multimillion dollar contract, I laughed. Watching the Bears saddle themselves to such an underwhelming player amused me. It’s not funny anymore. I mean, the Jay Cutler signing, that’s still hilarious. Sort of. But watching teams throw millions upon millions of dollars at sub-par quarterbacks has grown disgusting. [...]
Please stop. You’re not helping the situation, and in fact are adding fuel to the ignorant and hateful fire being stoked by The Donald. Look at the kind of people you’re dealing with: Drumpf supporters. These are people that looked at Ted Cruz and said, “He’s not crazy enough.” Marco Rubio [...]
On Monday, my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter stayed home from daycare. She wasn’t technically sick, but you can’t go in within 24-hours of having a fever over 101 degrees, and on Sunday she peaked at 102. She had actually carrying the fever for five days by then, so we made an appointment [...]
Being cheated on was the best thing to ever happen to me. No, I take that back. My wife and kids, my family. That’s the best thing to ever happen to me. Being cheated on was the most important thing to ever happen to me. Without the latter, I would [...]
