D The Husband

I was chatting with one of my uncles at my aunts wake, he casually mentioned a name of an uncle I’ve never heard of before. Does my dad have another brother that I’ve never met? Well over a decade ago, I remember the last family reunion I attended, I met for the first time an…

Learn a martial art (BJJ is great). Learn to code. Learn to cook. The rest will fall into place.

There are people online who think “getting your 10,000 steps” is stupid. But you and I aren’t surprised because people online are absolutely outrageous and we shouldn’t let them bother us. I love my Fitbit, even though it’s probably not as accurate as it claims to be. But I love seeing that notification about hitting…

I am not meant for apartment life. Like the quote from Canadian author Mordecai Richler, from the book, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, “A man without land is nobody.” I can’t wait for the day where I have my very own lawn to cut. There’s very few greater feelings than looking back at a fresh…

Holy shit I quit (one of) my job(s). Last week I sent a resignation email. I was quite nervous. It took me a bit to hit send. But after about 15 minutes, I said fuck it and hit the button. It was hard leaving a job that I was good at, had decent pay, and…
