First, I want to state that this entry will likely be rather blunt. Second, I want to admit that I may fully be in the wrong here. This comes more from emotion and perception than logic and rea...


Playing the part of the adult a bit more lately. Last night, knowing my morning would be early, I was in bed by 10. My Wife was expectedly unhappy with this turn of events; but she was not unhap...


One of the most important phrases in my life has been “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates said that… and allegedly, he is also the man that said “I know nothing save for the fact...


In a somewhat drunken state...... giving a great deal of thought to certain things while actively ignoring other things (I felt it important to say that) I somewhat sort of kind of maybe almost n...


Okay. This is interesting. Perhaps one of my more astute readers was correct in suggesting that now that I am working more full-time type hours, my desire (though it was admittedly unconscious)...


Some of you know that my family is very close. When I say close I mean… my father’s cousin’s daughter I call Cousin. We all do. We’re not cousins once removed or any of that. We’re family. W...


I spoke with my parents last night. They were both excited and adamant that we move to Ames as soon as possible and do whatever we can to make the transfer a reality. I spoke with Wife last night...


Wasn’t going to write an entry today… but then we got some news that I don’t know how to deal with. So… let me pretend this is a regular entry and then BAM hit you with the issue. Today was anot...


These last 24+ hours, man. Seriously. Seriously- last night, wife comes home while I’m using our one bathroom. I am pooping which, oddly, isn’t something I do often enough. However, when she c...


Interesting things.... It was like I was on call today. Got a call at 2 that I didn’t need to come in to the Jail today because of the Government Holiday… then I got a call at 2:30 that I did ne...


Okay… this is weird. I don’t usually have super sexy dreams… or if I do… I don’t realize it when I wake up. But… they have been happening more recently. Last night included a whole big event o...


Not much time to read or write today.... This morning, my cell phone went off around 8. What? No! Went off again. What? I didn’t set a G.D alarm! Third time.... oh… that isn’t an alarm. Th...


Bad brain. Bad naughty brain! All things considered, it is not the appropriate time to have detailed, thorough, sexy dreams about various beauties of Europe and/or female friends/acquaintances. ...


Not really… it is just Friday. But wanted to write that. OMG… court was downright painful today! More of a reminder why (1) I don’t want to work in Nebraska and (2) I don’t understand how these...


It is rare that my marital difficulties are so… run of the mill; so as this popped up today, I wanted to post it here. Maybe even get some “here’s what I do” style advice. Wife, much to her disl...


Today started something… somewhat new. Ever since I took my current part-time job, things have evolved there. From simple Pre Trial Interviewing and Court appearances… to then deeper interviewi...


I am in such a damned funk! Usually… working out helps, but it only made things worse. This is graphic but… I can think of no better description than this. I often like to be in less clothing ...


A few weeks ago, some of you may remember, I had a run-in with a fellow former law student. I was in the Jail Courtroom (as I often am for my job) and in walked a colleague. An individual that ...


(1) TOTALLY not the point of this entry… but I have some friends under the age of 25. I don’t understand their world… I don’t like their world. But watching their relationships implode on Faceb...


OMG… seriously?! UGH! I will say, with confidence, the only reason I am still with my wife is because a vow… a promise… a commitment is important to me. My wife has specifically, expressly, a...


You know how I talk CONSTANTLY about how much my wife hates/doubts herself? I could not have written a better example than what happened today! I was trying to tell Wife how beautiful she was to...


Grumph! I had another dream about Aoife. You’d think I’d be used to them by now but… they are still rather upsetting. Dr Oatman: Another dream about… what’s her name? That girl you’re obsessed ...


Bid Tits Trom Foday= Tid Bits From Today… yeah, sometimes I do weird stuff. That’s actually what this is about. I’m going to try to show a bit more of who I really am here. Not that I actively...


Burpees this morning… ugh. They were the hardest they’ve been all week. I think my body is getting to that point where it realizes I’m actually trying to do it this time so Body is like “No! S...


Started the day with Burpees, weight lifting, and jogging. Then came back to find one of the recent Law School graduates got a job in Idaho. More proof that Iowa is uniquely messed up. Don’t be...
