Alright, let’s talk about writing an analysis. Because honestly? The first time I tried to write one in community college, it was a dumpster fire. I turned in a 10-page paper analyzing The Great Gatsby that my professor described as “a plot summary with existential dread” (her words, not mine). Turns out, analyzing something isn’t…

Let me tell you about the time I accidentally turned my daughter’s college application essay into a therapy session. Picture this: me, a 40-something dad in sweatpants, surrounded by crumpled notebook paper at our kitchen table (the one with the permanent coffee ring stain from 2017), trying to explain why her story about winning a…

Okay, real talk? I almost gave up on castor oil packs after my first attempt. Picture this: me at 11 PM, draped in an old Bob’s Burgers t-shirt (RIP, Linda Belcher’s face), oily rags sliding off my stomach, and my cat Morty side-eyeing me like I’d lost it. But here’s the thing – three years…

Alright, let’s talk Minecraft enchantments – specifically those mysterious enchanted books we all end up hoarding like they’re limited-edition cereal boxes. I’ll admit, the first time I stumbled into the Nether (back in 2019, when my kids dragged me into their multiplayer world), I thought enchanted books were just fancy decoration.

Alright, let me tell you about the time I almost became a viral warehouse fail video. Picture this: my first week at a warehouse gig in Toledo, Ohio, staring at a stubborn pallet of paper towels that refused to budge. I’d seen guys zip around with pallet jacks like they were riding Hoverboards, but when…

Alright, let me tell you about the time I accidentally turned my Sony a7III footage into a digital jigsaw puzzle. I’d just gotten back from shooting my cousin’s backyard wedding in Texas (think 95°F heat, a rogue armadillo, and a buttercream cake that nearly became a puddle). When I tried to edit those 4K files…

Alright, let me just start by saying I totally get why you’re here. That stand mixer sitting on your counter? It looks like a shiny spaceship next to your trusty wooden spoon. I remember unwrapping my KitchenAid (wedding gift vibes!) and thinking, “Cool… but how do I not break this thing?” Spoiler: I broke it.…
