I don't love my wife one day per year nor do I show her that I care about her just one day per year. This is one of those manmade days for companies to capitalize on so I will bypass all the bells and whistles and resort to my feelings and simplicity. That being said, a short … [Read more...]
Your Life: Customized Vs. Default
Why is it we often avoid the urges that we should be indulging, but end up instead succumbing to the urges that only get us in trouble? We hear stories all the time about people not having the strength to overcome urges to do drugs, drink themselves to death, or cheat on their … [Read more...]
An Adventure of Experiments
I was struck by this post on Man Vs. Debt and he was inspired to write it based on this post at The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau. I don’t often write posts based on other things I’ve read but this hit me because it helped put words to things I’ve been thinking about … [Read more...]
Words
I love how powerful words are even in a world that is filled with so much chatter and static. Words can hurt; they can sting on so many different levels. It can be from someone speaking words of untruth about you orwords that are so true they cut like a knife. Words can tear … [Read more...]

Miscarriage: Her Side of the Story
This is a guest post by my wife, Annie, to go with the post I had written a couple weeks back about our miscarriage: I wrote this about a month ago, just to chronicle what was happening in our life. I'm not as much of a writer as Matt is, but I wanted to get my thoughts and … [Read more...]
