Oddly enough, one of my favorite scenes in any TV show, ever, involves the main character failing to reach his goal. You’d think that might be a bit of a downer, but it’s really a matter of perspective. The scene’s potency – and my appreciation for it – is hugely impacted by my unique progression through life, which I just described in a trilogy of posts titled: Wear It Like Armor, Polarity, and…
They want me to lure him to a microbrewery? I've been sober for over 100 days - that'll be a tough one to sell. My colleagues were trying to organize a surprise birthday party for their boss - my former boss - and since I was friends with him, they figured I'd be a great one to get him to the venue.
I spent so much of my early life isolated, bullied and suppressed that I had to develop self-dependency, and a strong sense of humor just to get by. By the time I moved out and discovered true peace at age 19, the experience had helped me forge a type of psychological armor - one that had been thoroughly field tested. Ultimately, whatever happened, I knew I would make it out just fine.
"Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you." - Tyrion Lannister, Game of Thrones.

Watching the trailer itself will give you a better sense of what I'm referring to:
In 2022, I made the decision to apply for an Information Technology (IT) Team Lead position at the educational institution where I worked - if I got it, it meant I would work as part of the IT department, rather than Continuing Education. This was a difficult choice to make as someone with a strong sense of loyalty - I'd been with Continuing Education for more than a decade - I was used to the…
If you saw my phone, you might think that I had a problem: 161 Days Sober The story is a simple one - back in late January of this year, I woke up one morning and felt sick from the previous night of drinking. I was never really a big booze drinker - in fact, it was typically always modest in portion and highly infrequent. And in almost all cases, when I went beyond one drink, it was because I was…
Back in 2019, after two years of having no bicycle, I ordered a brand new bike and jumped straight into a daily cycling regimen, all in the name of fitness.
