Sorry is a very difficult thing to say. Unless you’re me. I say sorry all the time. I’m not sure if it was my Catholic upbringing or not, but if something goes wrong and I’m in the general vicinity, whether it was my fault or not, I feel the need…

It’s early October and with only about two-and-a-half months to go, it is clearly time to start talking about Christmas. By Christmas, what I really mean to say is presents, or to put it more succinctly, things you will want to buy for yourself or others in the next two-and-a-half…

Moving sucks. There is really no sugar coating it. Sure, things will be all hunky-dore when you get to your ultimate destination, but the process of moving itself is terrible. Long-time readers may remember my tirade against the act of moving a few years back. If you missed that one,…

It’s after Labor Day, so school’s officially a thing again. Welcome back. Sure, you may have started a week or two ago, but we all know no one does shit during their first two weeks of class, except maybe medical students. My guess is that if you’re reading this column,…

Pope Francis touched down in America this past week. As I write this, he’s spending his last day in the States in Philadelphia, the city that famously booed Santa Claus. I guess if any city needed a touch of holiness, it’s Philly. In his wake, craziness happened. First off, on…

You may not remember 1982, but I do. It was probably the best year of my life (at the very least in the top three). I was 5 years old. I remember one Sunday night my parents gathered my sister and I into our maroon Ford LTD station wagon and…

Don’t you just hate being married or in a committed relationship with someone? Having someone that cares about you is just the worst. I can’t believe that person even has the gall to stick by your side after all of these years. What do they want from you?!? You know…

There are a lot of things in life that I don’t understand. If you’ve read this column even a few times, you’re probably painfully aware of that. For instance, I often start the day by looking at myself in the mirror, topless. It’s not totally out of vanity. More so,…

It’s confession time. I’ve been living a lie for a while now. For the past two-and-a-half years, I’ve barely laid eyes upon the fine city of Sacramento. I do not know where the hotspots are anymore, which is a bit ironic given where you may be reading this. Unfortunately, I’m…
