K is for Kentucky
“Bros before Dominoes” I said to Joe as we were playing a game of Chicken Foot or Mexican train dominoes and he kept winning. Joe is my best friend, but he is more like an older brother and his family is definitely like my family.
On Saturday we went to a UK football game and before [...]
Give Thanks
Whoa. Where has this year gone? I can’t believe that I have been self-employed now for almost a full year. It’s been a wild ride and I have a lot to be thankful for. It seems that every time I was in a bind and my operating cash was getting close to a big fat [...]
Gut Check
“For $500 what do Keggers. Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. Swear Words have in common?”
“All things Eddie jokes about but shouldn’t Pat”
“Correct!”
Recently a friend of mine called me and said, “I don’t know how to word this, but all your status updates on Facebook seem worldly.”
“Wha? Moi?”
The fact of the matter is that a while back I [...]
When Will I Become a Butterfly?
For the past few years I feel like I’ve been trapped in a cocoon and I’m struggling to GET. OUT.
Every time I feel like I am about to have a breakthrough – financially, physically, spiritually, I always seem to have a large setback. Bills and injuries seem to descend upon me at the penultimate moment, [...]
Weddings, Weddings, Weddings…
I just DJ’d a wedding last night and I’ve got another one to do today. This isn’t as easy as you might think because when weddings are so close you start to forget which bride asked you to “be sure and play some Pat Green” or “Don’t play any Single Ladies by Beyonce!”
I take lots [...]
Indecent Exposure
Lately I’ve been extremely interested in human behavior and human sexuality. What makes us do the things we do? Attraction is so bizarre and so unique and yet so general. I just don’t get it. I often wonder if the human sex drive wasn’t such that it is, if humans would cease to exist.
Imagine our [...]
Perhaps We All Have Multiple Personality Disorder
I just finished reading “Switching Time” by Dr. Richard Baer. It Blew. My. Mind. Do not read this if you are afraid of course language. I don’t mean to be graphic, but in retelling this true story there is no way to convey the story any other way.
People who suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder or [...]
Cheeseburgers with Eddo
I’m thinking of writing a new book called “Cheeseburgers with Eddo”. It will be a true story based on a series of people who come by my house, pick me up and then take me out for a cheeseburger.
We’ll got to places like Angry Dog and Twisted Root all in the hopes of curing my [...]
My Super Sweet 16
Last Saturday I DJ’d a sweet 16 party and it went off like weapon of mass destruction. I’m serious. People were getting jiggy with it, gettin low, pop, lock and droppin it and shaking their tailfeather’s non-stop. This is rare at a Sweet 16 party. Normally you get a group of kids who are too [...]
Bump… Set… Spike It
That’s the way I like it…
Five times a week there is a group of us in Allen, TX that play Wallyball at Lifetime Fitness. It is one of the most fun games I have ever played and one of the most educational.
When it comes to sports, many people play at their peak performance and they [...]
Change of Plans
I was all ready to sell my casa when a realization hit me – Moving Sucks. Moving, uprooting, packing up your life and starting brand new someplace else requires a lot of energy and resources – and to what end?
I want to move to be closer to family and friends, but will that really help [...]
I’m Selling My House
I’ve been contemplating selling my house lately. Why? I’m afraid I’m turning into my real dad. Working in my living room all day surrounded by nothing but the sound of the TV and the click-clack of my keyboard.
I’ve successfully isolated myself into a world that is filled with only the exact people I want in [...]
