That was the name of my childhood best friend and teddy bear. I’m not sure if that was actually his name, but it was emblazoned on his t-shirt, so that was what I decided to call him. He originally belonged to my mother. I remember the day I got him. At least I think I […]

Through the eyes of a child
I try very hard to take every day as a blessing. As I’m constantly reminded, life is short and sometimes it feels like tragedy is lurking around every corner. I try, but this year has not been easy. I often feel like I am being crushed by the weight of it all and just whenever […]

Fire Pit Fiasco!
Before I start my tale, please by forgiving of any formatting or grammatical errors. I type this story on my iPad. I am in the bath, with Chicago. That is normally difficult enough, but to add to that I am working by candlelight and the Wiggles is blasting through the bathroom. I can’t help but […]

A Splitting Headache
I am extremely guilty of overusing the phrase “a splitting headache”. Not in the sense that I complain a lot when I have a headache, more in the sense that I love a good pun and it’s one I get to use frequently. I made one on twitter just the other day. My girlfriend will […]

Every now and again, you stumble upon a complete gem of a movie. When I say gem, I mean a B-Grade film that you come across in the bargain bin of your local video store. Not that they really exist anymore, but you get what I mean. I can’t remember exactly when I first fell […]

I’m sure that those of you who tune into accordingtoaaron with any regularity have noticed that my writing has slowed down a lot lately. In fact, you could say that for the last 4-6 weeks I’ve been downright slack. Just writing these few sentences now feels good and it feels nice to be back at […]
It’s crazy to think that it has been over 10 years since you and I last spoke. I don’t even know if your initials are still CJ. You could be married. It’s also crazy to think that we weren’t even friends for 2 years. You really made an impact on me in that time. I […]

The Splash Park
Even in this age of political correctness and equality, I feel that stay at home dads can get a rough deal. It’s not all bad, but I’d be lying if I said I always felt included. Some of the other Dads think you’re lazy. Some of the Moms think this as well. On top of […]
No, today’s article is not an appreciation post for the Green Day song, Burnout. That is a fantastic song though, perhaps one of my favourite Green Day songs. Dookie is without a doubt, their best album. Today is about how I am feeling! I have been really struggling to come up with content to write […]

Just a quick hello!
Hello. I was tempted to post that just for the laughs, but considering I was lazy and didn’t post yesterday, I thought I better actually do some work! Today is a very busy day for me, so I just wanted to check in and give you all the schedule for the rest of the week. […]
