Continue reading →: Crouching Doggo, Hidden PuppyIt’s late, and my eyes are getting heavy. The lights are out, and I’ve put down the book I’ve been reading for the night. Alright, fine, the remote control. Drifting off to sleep, I feel the tension begin to loosen from my muscles as the weight of the world slips…

Continue reading →: Life and FulfillmentI just had an epiphany; what if both having children and not having children are equally unfulfilling? Let me provide the important context by suggesting that I may have had one too many libations this afternoon. In my defence, I’m on the A side of my two-week vacation, and such…

Continue reading →: My Mother Is The Original KarenThe year was 1980…or maybe 1977? Who knows, I wasn’t born yet. Either way, this story takes place sometime in the past. Pete, my mom’s younger brother, was having some trouble with bullies in middle school. Maybe it was his nerdy glasses, or perhaps it was the knee-high socks and…

Continue reading →: Gone Fishin’It starts with the meet-up. An early morning tradition of arriving at your buddy’s place with a vehicle full of rods, tackle, and more beer than you know what to do with. A (semi)friendly game of rock/paper/scissors is played to see who drives, and you set out on the first…

Continue reading →: Nicknames Aren’t Chosen, They’re EarnedI’ve been known to hold more than a few nicknames in my lifetime. Some were endearing, others not so much. A younger version of me was known as Matt Man throughout elementary school, mainly due to the creative limitations of early childhood minds. Hazard was born out of a motorcycle…

Continue reading →: My Entire Life is a CartoonThe only thing that I’m missing is a hand drawn sign that says “yikes”. The other week, I put away the snowblower. You know, climate change and all. Immediately after coming into the house, the heavens opened up and blessed us with a heavy snowfall. And since then, it’s snowed…

Continue reading →: AI – Bad Idea, Worse DeploymentDear Friends of the Internet, I write to you with the utmost concern for the mental well-being of the tech CEOs, as they have most definitely lost their marbles. This week, I had to cancel a real meeting with an animated AI chatbot. Let that sink in. My employer has…

Continue reading →: How Cleaning After A Party Got Me In Trouble With My ParentsBear with me, this story is a tiny bit gross, but I’ll do my best to deliver it in the most digestible way possible. Pun somewhat intended. The year was 2002. I was barely out of high school, people weren’t yet ashamed of Nickelback, and 6 and 7 were nothing…

Continue reading →: My Wife’s Gaslighting Led To Me Believing In GhostsI would love to say this is in some way satire, but alas, it is not. For it’s no longer the warm embrace of my wife’s arms that comforts me at night, but instead the chilling grip of knowledge that ghosts dwell in my home that keeps me awake. That,…

Continue reading →: Rock Me Like a Wagonwheel..Halloween came and went, and I did not crack. Christmas came with all its dessert glory, chocolates and wine, and I did not falter. My workplace stocked up on Wagonwheel biscuits in the snack cabinet, and my resolve shattered like a single glass pane against a Wayne Gretzky slapshot. Lord…
