My last post was in November. Hmm. Let's see. I went on a trip to Vegas in December. In January I sprained my ankle and it never fully healed. A few months later Mike got an opportunity of a lifetime job as a robotics programmer and, over the course of a week, dropped out of college, moved all his shit into my place, and left for Michigan. He came

When I was 19, I went back to my high school to pick something up. I had Morgan with me. She was about 6 months old. As I was walking down the hallway, my favorite teacher passed me, chuckled, and said, "Hey J.P.! Do you have life right now or does it have you?" I didn't answer. I just smirked and rolled my eyes

I can't believe kids go back to school in a couple weeks! The summer has really flown by! And I have to say, it was a great one. Morgan has spent quite a bit of time over her dad's.

I pass places I used to frequent and they only seem vaguely familiar, like something I once saw in a dream. Being back in this house is particularly surreal. Some things are covered in dust but

Saw Get Him To The Greek last weekend. It wasn't terrible. It had its moments. My new motto is "When life slips you a jeffrey, stroke the furry wall."
My upper body strength has turned to fail over the last couple years so I bought one of those doorway pull up bars. I used to have one and loved it. Walking under it is sorta like passing under a

A couple of weeks ago Morgan came home from school telling me she invented a new religion at the lunch table. They worship cheese and call themselves the Cheese-its. Their prophet is Cheesus and they pray that people they don't like will have buckets of hot cheese dumped on them... but not after they're dead. Definitely while they're still alive
