Happily Ever After »

My sister recently married a man who she thought was the perfect guy for her. He encouraged her to get life insurance soon after the wedding, which seemed strange to me but she told me not to worry so much. She did as he asked her to without hesitation. She did have some worries since [...]

My Dad is Embarrassing Me »

My dad is in his forties and has suddenly decided he want to be cool in front of my friends.  I just started college this year, and honestly, I was really liking the idea of cutting the umbilical cord and getting away from the family, but money is tight and college is expensive, so I [...]

Tired of Being the Skinny Guy »

My whole family is pretty small.  When I say “small” I mean we are all short and small-framed.  If you’re a female, I’d think that could be a pretty attractive trait, but I’m a 26 year old man and frankly, I am tired of being the skinny, scrawny guy.  A couple of my co-workers go [...]

My friend who works at Wal-Mart [...]

Looking for information on biofeedback »

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about using meditation to help with certain illnesses like chronic fatigue and migraines.  One thing that I keep coming across is the suggestion to use biofeedback as a diagnostic tool to help direct diagnosis, control and relief of these illnesses.

Summer Vacation in California »

Last summer I went to visit my Grandpa in Carlsbad, California where he lives. I wanted to go to the beach as soon as I got there and try to surf for my first time. My grandpa is the best surfer and has lived in California by the sea for his whole life. He is [...]

Theme Park Fun »

Owning a theme park is full of fun and excitement…sort of.  I can’t wait to see the new movie coming out (I can’t remember the name) where the college graduate can’t find a job and as a last resort works for a theme park.  I’ll blog again to let you know if the behind the [...]
