"What should I do?" Now there's a question! And a loaded one at that. There's no simple answer either. Far from it, in fact. But it's a question that gets you thinking. Truth be told, I had several topics I wanted to write about today, but I was having a hard time deciding (what a… Continue reading The Mirror
I'm weird. I'll admit it. I've got a touch of crazy in me. I'm strange. I do and say odd things. I make bizarre facial expressions that confuse people. I'll crack terrible jokes that'll make you roll your eyes (or good ones if you're a person with taste). I'll give an opinion, sometimes believing the… Continue reading To Be

And before your imagination goes out of control, no, I don't mean like Back to the Future where you hop into a hyper-marketed, underperforming, stainless steel toaster on wheels, plug in your preferred date,… Continue reading Just a Matter of Time

I got out of bed, fed the dogs, let them out, poured myself a cup of coffee, and… Continue reading Good Things
When I was a kid, I believed my parents had the answers to everything. I remember looking up to the adults in my life thinking they had it all figured out and they had the freedom to do anything they want. They seemed infallible and invincible. They were mature, wise, smart, and regal. There was… Continue reading Grow Up
When you've had a tough year, it's important to remind yourself that good things can still happen.
Ha! And you thought we were done with these? A few months back, we explored the fun of the English language in Common Sayings That Are Stupid. Now, we covered a lot in that one session. However, we've only scratched the surface on the fantastically terrible colloquialisms, idioms, and proverbs that seem to exist purely… Continue reading Common Sayings That Are Stupider
Have you ever had a moment where you forced yourself to take a giant leap? Even when every bone in your body was screaming at you to do the complete opposite, you did it anyway? This past week, I sent an invite out to join the newly launched and official Facebook page for The CJBuzz.… Continue reading The Leap
