Hey, Tumblr. I know it’s been a while. Here’s a quick update: I finally did transition into another job. It was great in the beginning, but got toxic near the end. That’s okay, cuz’ I was able to take everything I learned and go out on my own. In the back of my mind, this was always a long-term goal of mine. Two jobs ago, I worked with a lot of folks who were self-employed and making a really great go of it. So, here I am. Self-employed and loving it. It was a long journey, but I’m finally at the start of where I belong!

There are days I wish I could create a “ghost” racer just like in Mario Kart.  This would be especially helpful on days when I’m fighting traffic so I can see which route is the fastest!

Okay, so I meant to do this WAY sooner, but this was how long it took me to get home on 12/16/2016 when there was substantial ice on the road! First text was sent when leaving Dierberg's in Fenton at 4:37 pm. The next text was sent when I made it to Bellacino's in Arnold at 8:21 pm. The last couple of texts were sent when I made it into the subdivision at 9:47 pm. I didn't make it home till' 10:00 pm that night. That's five hours and 23 minutes to go roughly 22 miles from Fenton to Barnhart with a detour through Arnold.

Don't make Mom say "God" because if she does, that means she's in a punching mood and you're gonna get punched!

Here's another one of my favorites. This album has some solid storytelling! It's too bad that Dio wasn't able to continue the journey.

This dang album resonates with me so much. Not only is this one of those albums where just about every song is great, it's mostly the soundtrack to Highlander; which you know, is pretty cool stuff!

Almost every time we pass this place on the way home, Jake says for me, "One day boat store, one day." Kid knows me well.

You know you've got problems when you're asking Google what to do next.

Wife is rocking the cleavage this morning. Absolutely love days like this.

My wife is the perfect marriage between Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Absolutely adorable, caring, fun, thoughtful, energetic and all-around cute. Couldn't ask for more.

Love this dang thing. So freaking catchy. Also doesn’t hurt that it perfectly sums up a lot of emotions about how our relationships makes us stronger.

Reese was hilarious the other week at Happy Joe's. After winning 50 tickets with Jake from Big Bass Wheel Pro, he turns around and tells the machine "thank you".

Priceless memory #89: Reminiscing with Leah about ‘Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness’ while listening to '1979’ on the radio. Still one of the best albums to come out of the 90’s. Really love connecting with her over music from our teenaged youth.

This social media absence brought to you care of Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire. This was my first play-through of a Pokemon title and, I was hooked; borderline addicted. I absolutely loved this game. This thing was the black hole to end all black holes!

Nooooooo, Arnie! Say it isn't so! Voice guidance will never be the same again!
