“What a long ass day,” you grumble as you get home from work. You had to wake up early to snowblow out your garage. The snowblower didn’t want to start right away. Your supervisor was absent so your grandboss had to give your monthly performance — and butchered you. And now you almost didn’...

Death Meditations — I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV XV THWUMPF! I duck as the sound fills the living room, but I already know what happened. Another fool of a dove saw a dog being walked, a loud truck rumbled by, or a breeze hit the trees a bit too agg...

Life is hard. You hear this all the time, but it’s true. We will spend our days gathering attendants to our future funeral. Ultimately, life wins and will take us out. Don’t make life harder by inviting upon yourself more difficulties. Avoid overconsumption. Avoid overindulgence. Avoid abusin...

We saw Bam Margera jumping cars, building towns out of mobile homes, and professionally skating and thought “Man, what freedom! I wish I could do that. That’s extraordinary.” We see Kim K et al jetsetting, taking fabulous beach pics, and sunbathing all over and think, “I wish I could go all ove...

As a very proud Finnish-American, many hours of my life have been spent enjoying the mythology of my ancestors. One recurring theme I’ve identified that seems mostly unique to Finnish Myth is that they recognize the incredible power in words. Although, more specifically, using them in song, it...

On the cold, salt-stained pavement of the Walmart parking lot, today, there were four tiny finches. They were hopping and twittering merrily as they ate the remains of a frozen and crushed french fry. I couldn’t help but watch them a moment. They seemed so happy. Very alive. Animated, loud, a...

My only job in relating to others is to love them . How simple is that? I may complain here or there about some of you some of the time, but… Know I love you all. Obese. Lazy. Ignorant. Or addicted. It doesn’t matter. However. I will not encourage behaviors any of us (myself included) pa...

Imagine our lives if when we woke up, one of the first thoughts we had were “Today is the day I will die.” Would you lay in your warm, comfortable bed and sleep in? Would you think back on the bad moments with bitterness? Would you yell and curse when someone cut you off? No, no, and no — I...

Chuck Palahniuk said it best in Fight Club , “In the Sylvia Plath sense of the word, we are all dying.” Because we are. The moment you burst from your mother’s womb, slick with placenta, blood, and mucus, screaming and pink, your clock is tick, tick , ticking. We’re all dying. Every minute...
