Man Vs. Cube: The Different Office Types
This one goes out to all of the Cube Heads out there - that's right, I said Cube Heads. No longer am I going to let us be condescended upon by that awful term Cube "Monkeys".

A Guy's Rant: New Music For The Month
Every month I compile a playlist in an effort to keep up with the "hot new jams the kids are into". And every month I end up coming to the conclusion that the kids suck, their jams suck, and everything hot and new sucks and instead compile a list of lukewarm, aging, jams that the kids would be wise to listen to increase their own READ MORE
Why Do Men Watch The NFL Draft?
Last night, I was at a friends house having a couple meatball subs after we got home from a baseball game. We were talking, relaxing, and having a good time when I realized that it was way past 8:00.

This past Thursday my family experienced a loss. My mom's dear friend and housemate of 10 years passed away.

This week, I've been reflecting on my time as a father and stumbled across a writing I wrote just one week after my first child was born.
