I have a confession to make. I don’t– Wait. I should probably lay some groundwork. I’ve got to build up to this. I’m a pretty smart dude. I’ve spent almost 85% of my years as a student. I can do long division and F.O.I.L.1 I also played sports as a kid. I’ve already mentioned my [...]

Well, not you, kids. I know I often call you “kids.” But today I mean my facial hairs; aka neck-sprouts; aka my-stache support system. My beard is gone. And I better learn how to face it. It’s a weird time to be beardless. At least two dudes1 with blogs of the highest repute — 12minds [...]

I just saw a commercial that reminded me that I haven’t told you something. I am a fool. As a fool, I commit a lot of dumbtrocities. This is one of those stories. I have a beard. I haven’t always been bearded, though. There were… awkward years. Those are the years when a guy looks [...]

Jersey. We don’t pump our own gas (it’s illegal). We have the driest wit in America. We lovingly self-deprecate more times a day than you probably say words with the letter “e” in them. Want proof? The governor asked the citizens to create and vote for the state slogan. You know what won? ”New Jersey, [...]

It’s TMI Thursday! I don’t do this often, but when I have done it, you may have noticed a certain recurring “character.” No, he does not have a name. Actually, maybe he’s less of a character and more of a prop. Anyway, if I had to convert this story to a picture, it would probably [...]

… add vodka and shake. Patti at ilovethiscityalways has adorned this blog with some sweet lemonade. Hence, part 1 of the title. But since all the blogs I read seem to have been tagged with something lately, or asked not to be, I will just say “thank you,” smile widely and nudge you along to [...]

Is… is it TMI Thursday? Well, yes. Yes, it is. So let me give you the business.. You’ve come to know my body as a heat-packing district. It’s true. I am armed with a wanton and gratuitous appetite. But since we* love extended synonyms here at the Change I Wish to See, for the purposes [...]

Welcomes, welcomes. It is Thursday. And thanks to LiLu, who has singlehandedly altered the modern calendar, it is TMI Thursdays. Last week, I lassoed the hitch on that bandwagon and pulled myself onboard with a puddled tale from my adolescent past. Today, you get another story that shares a couple of those key elements: a [...]
