He done lost his damn mind.

Chapter 3: I’ll explain. Your like “ what the duck are you talking about? What are you? High? Yes…. I am…….. high………… Our job is to not know what we are doing Why?  Dan?? Shaking head, little side laugh. That makes no sense! My day… Wake up around 7. Get up…groan…die…in total body freezing pain in some joint, like your shoulder, that you hurt while pitching against Walden in big leagues in town ball. That you threw 160 pitches 9 innings for the 17 strikeout game you won 15-0. Roll over and look at my wife and go, “Man I can’t believe…. She married me…. Totally Kidding…. How much game I had, that I was able to pull that! Rip a giant fart and go pee.  I quietly walk into your 6yr old daughters room, thinking of the move I am gonna do to wake her up with. I can see her little smile in the corner of her mouth. She knows it’s gonna happen, but she’s still laughs her ass off. A kid laugh really is the best sound in the world. And infectious. Kid laughs are like Covid....

My Role to become a role model.

Chapter 2:  Day in the life… “Hey Dan, can you get me a light bulb?” “Yeah where are they?” “In the living room, in one of those boxes.” Where? What The duck….aghh ducking iPhone….fuck box is she talking about? There’s no boxes even in here! “Which box?” “I don’t know Dan! You just have to look!” Literally every single time my beautiful, strong, bril… shes not here anymore? No? Ok, “Charlie Brown Yell” WIFE, that knows she asking me a to do a task that WE both know is 89% not going to end well. The percentage was in the 70’s but have had a few good years…so it makes more sense and saves more time and frustration if you just come and get it. We can save so much time for activities in “Will Ferrell” voice. Why am I saying this? I don’t know, but I’m struggling to understand what my Role is besides making the kids laugh, doing rote chores or teach the kids a new curse or two, definitely one curse is in Spanish (I’m pretty good speaking at Spanish). But for who as someon...

Journaling became a joke

So I started this journey out by writing down my schedule for what I needed to get done for the day or week. And from there i started to jot down my thoughts, something that pissed me off, work frustrations… breath Dan, goosefrabaaaaa! happy thoughts… funny things the kids did or some random ass thought that i would normally say “oh yeah, I’ll remember that.” Then not remember or a sports comparison to actors. Kind of you know, what ever. So I’m not sure how this is gonna look but let’s give it the old college try, shall we? Yeah I don’t know what I’m doing. Hi, I’m Dan and I am an adult who within the last 15yrs at one point didn’t have a bank account. Your thinking 15 yrs, pssh That’s nothing!  I’m 38.  Do the math.  No seriously do the math. I’m terrible at math.  I’m a Man-Child and now I know why. “You got ADHD?” “Yeah you know me.” “Who got ADHD”, “Yeah you know me.” No? No, ok let’s try something else. Will you relate to this? Easy question to answer.  Go...
