New Iowa Law Issue: Apparently, the courts have now ruled Disorderly Conduct to be unconstitutional. Seriously. The court said “creating a distressing nuisance or annoyance is far too focused o...


There are really only two things that matter today. One of them won’t be part of my story until after the lunch hour. FIRST THING: I did get the part in the play that I expected to. The star ro...


(1) Life isn’t awesome. (2) This weekend’s professional communications make my week murky at best (3) The world is… messed up. (4) But I’m excited to meet the cast of the play tonight and see whi...


I know I’m an adult now with adult responsibilities and adult concerns… but I miss the days when everyone would have their AIM or MSN Messenger open. I miss talking with people. I especially m...


Now, I’ll admit… I view pornography. If I did not… I think I would be a much different person. I can’t say exactly what kind of person. I might still be with my wife but be angrier, meaner, mo...


I was really depressed on Monday. I was really depressed on Wednesday. I wasn’t as depressed on Tuesday because I didn’t have TIME to be depressed as I had 8 hearings. But last night, I went to i...


No idea what this means but… I was sitting at a desk in a Des Moines Office Building. I was wearing a blue blanket over my business suit absolutely fucked up with the flu. I was shivering, fre...


I’m in between things. I’m like a real attorney here, lol. Doing motions and hearings and sentencings and pleadings and suppressions. LOTS to do. And the ever present October looming in the i...


So today I have to cover my cases and my bosses cases while preparing for a Bench Trial on Wednesday and a Jury Trial next week. So… I’ll be super preoccupied today.


Last night I embraced my inner self and stated quite clearly to wife, “I am a catch!” And… I am. I am an employed, not unattractive, intelligent 35 year old with no criminal record who still bel...


Here’s some good… which I should share. Wife knew I was having a really rough day (heart and mind). So she took the dog for a walk so that I would not have to do that when I got home. And she ...

Thing in Book Six: Trying to Hold On 2019

I know that a palliative is unhelpful right now… but I’ll tell you I am missing Raven. Catfish or no, the idea that a beautiful 20-something Goth could find me attractive… I valued that. The fac...


This is me furious. I e-mailed the local therapist stating “Hey, I e-mailed you last Monday and haven’t had a response yet. Please reply. I would really like to get something scheduled before ...

Bah in Book Six: Trying to Hold On 2019

I’m not feeling well. The diet recipe I made last night? Not much food, WAY too much salt. I had it out with the wife. Really. Discussing how it is so damned hurtful for her to shut herself of...


So… it IS likely that something is fucked up with my scale. This morning, I woke up and weighed myself. 216.8. K. Oh, I have to pee. Peed, thought it would be funny to see if that would bring ...


Let’s Play Pretend, and let’s say I’m drunk. Honestly, the truth is… I’m not. Really. But In Vino Veritas is typically forgiven more than blunt honesty that may be contradictory or controversi...


Date Night It was… interesting? I got home, Wife and I took Nala for a walk. When we got home, I said I wanted to take a shower. Before I continue, do you remember how I approached the subject...


Seeking a break from my “Child Molestation” reading. Hab a survey stolen from a fellow PB-er after some Meme-splosion. Oh… before the funny and the yay… allow me a simple statement of FUCK. FU...


This morning has been a black night, filled with rain and thunder. We’ll see if the sun comes out at all but if it does, it is supposed to be short lived. Rain and darkness in the forecast for ...


Sometimes I feel like just jumping into these entries with my current day, forgetting that those who read may wish to know what has occurred outside of the office. Last night after work, I drove ...


Akusai wa hyaku-nen no fusaku Kishi kaisei Saru mo ki kara ochiru Tade kuu mushi mo sukizuki I no naka no kawazu taikai wo shirazu Keizoku wa chikara nari Shiranu ga hotoke Anzuru yori umu ga yas...


My latest entry is certainly not likely to be fun or uplifting. At least, those are the thoughts that have been going through my head a lot the last few days and I certainly don’t feel fun or up...


Marriage Counseling this weekend was… important. I mean… not a lot to it that wasn’t expected. I discuss Anxious Attachment, bitterness, resentment, and sexual frustration. I mention how I’ve ...


I received a phone call this morning that the power was out at my office so I didn’t need to come in to work today. That being said, I knew this could happen before hand so I brought my Work Acce...


So… I get grocery store anxiety. Hear me out… if I’m going to the Grocery Store to pick up “staples” that’s fine. Some milk, cereal, bananas, yogurt, a little meat, whatever. But when I go aft...
