Get ready, here comes the CHUGGERNAUUUUGHT!!

  • My path

    Wednesday, April 16, 2008 | A Positive story

    I walk a lonely path, while taking a lonely oath.
    As a man I am an anomaly.
    Nothing makes me happier than pleasing a woman, all women.
    If I meet an 80 year old women and kiss her cheek or hand, I enjoy every minute of her blush or sassiness.
    By talking about pleasing women, I get horribly misunderstood as to my meaning.  Especially by women.  In this I ostrisize m...

  • Being contemplative.

    Saturday, April 19, 2008 | A Positive story

    It's 4:30 in the morning and I just had a 2 hour conversation with a friend about life and love.  This person is someone who grew up with a different life in many ways, yet I notice that the older we get the less the everthing matters.  The true thing we all seek is happiness. What makes it is what the problem is.  This is where we stray and falter in how we treat on another. W...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

    "If it's easy, then it's not the right thing to do. If you don't want to do something, there's a good chance that you need to do it." 
    It seems that alcoholics and addicts have a habit of al...
