New Year, New Meh….

Heading into 2018, a lot has been on my mind. This past year beat the hell out of me.  Diagnosed with sleep apnea, on top of diabetes, high blood pressure & high coloesterol does not make Phil a fun guy.  To make matters a little worse, I can't sleep with a CPAP machine.  I gave …

#ImNotWatchingTheNFL

Here we are, going into the first week of July.  Baseball is getting ready for its All Star game, and many of my friends are all bitching on social media how they can't wait for football season to start, because baseball is "too slow".  As someone who grew up in the 60s playing baseball, and …

"Bill.......this is God" "God?  Hey, hey, hey!  What's up, God?" "I want you to go to call a press conference tomorrow, and tell the truth and let everyone know you raped all of those women..........." (pause) "..................RIGHT.........." In an ideal world, this would have happened, and he would have confessed.  However, in a true ideal …

Exposing “Bad Wrestlers Exposed”

"Never put yourself over at somebody else's expense"  ~  Prime Time Amy Lee I remember that quote really well, not because it came from someone who I have a tremendous amount of respect for when it comes to indy wrestling.  I remember it because it's ethical.  Unfortunately the pro wrestling business has never been a …

Hi Panera! Meet Chick-Fil-A (& Say Goodbye To Me)

For the past 8 months, I've been ordering from Panera Catering for my "Lunch & Learns".  Essentially, a lunch & learn is provided by my employer.  We purchase lunch for an architect/design firm, and then I give a lecture/class that provides continuing education credits that are required to keep yourself in good standing with the …

I Can’t Drive…….55, Or Pass In the Proper Lane

Every year, it get just a little bit worse. Spring comes after a cold winter, and people who have been shut in for most of the season decide that the weather is warming up enough to get in their cars and head out someplace/anyplace to have a good time. Interestingly, the cops head out as …

American Airlines Checked My Dignity at the Gate

I've traveled American in the past, and have seen them service the disabled in a kind and courteous manner. The fact that a pilot could make that decision based on "Captain's orders" has me contemplating not using American for future travel. I hope Mr. Smith seeks legal action against American,since the captain was acting as …

Welcome back! (?)

My blog page has a new name, courtesy of my daughter, Erica, who thought it would be a nice gesture to give me my own domain. So, in an effort to not let her down (actually me, I lied), I am going to try to write more again. The difference this time around is in …

“The Community” – A Retrospective

My fiancee Lissa posted on Facebook today that it was 7 years ago today that she'd sent me a friend request there.  That post brought me back to 2009, a really emotionally trying time for me.  My second wife had moved out in July of that year, something that I never expected would happen.  Even …

What Goes Around Comes Around…

Last week was a huge week for Roosh V and his followers.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Roosh and his gang, I'll provide you with a little info (though I'm of the opinion that if you've read my blogs before, you know exactly who he is) (Courtesy Wikipedia). Daryush Valizadeh (born June …
