Originally, I thought “meh, I’ve seen these things before. They’re annoying but it won’t be too bad”. This past week, itContinue reading “Mix & Match Monday: OK, These Cicadas Suck”
Mix & Match Monday: Start to Summer?
The unofficial start to summer is here and for most of the holiday weekend in Ohio, it has not felt that way.

You always grow familiar with a certain place after you have lived there for some time. For over two years, the rural Oklahoma town of Woodward, a place I never thought I would venture to before the summer of 2016, was my home for work, where I learned to appreciate the small town life afterContinue reading “Cincinnati: One Year Later”
Taking a Step Back From Sports
I’ve always loved sports. I played several of them as a kid, watch them on a regular basis and at times growing up, they were my biggest concern.

To be honest, I was tuning intoContinue reading “30 Thoughts Before 30: #14-#10”

30 Thoughts Before 30: #21: “Why Do I Even Still Have a Facebook?”
I made a Facebook account in 2008 and other than my first Gmail account, it’s one I have had the longest. Remember the days when you were forced to post a response after “is”?

30 Thoughts Before 30: #22: “What Kind of Uncle Should I Be?”
Back in March, my sister gave birth to her first child. With that, I became Uncle Sean and my sisters became aunts. That’s a weird thought at first because most of our parents had brothers and sisters, which made them uncles and aunts to us.
