Hoarding for the Hordes
Friday, August 5th, 2011
If you’ve ever watched one of those shows about hoarders, you know how unbelievably disgusting hoarding can be. I know first hand. No, not from Gary (though I do believe he still has 15 years of Modern Drummer hidden somewhere in the attic). I’m talking about Mrs Hoffman, the old woman who lived next door when I was growing up. And when I say “hoarder” I mean someone who had newspapers piled several feet high on every single surface, magazines from the 1930s – and held on to a plate of food from our Christmas dinner through January. Yuck.
But this isn’t about the revolting stuff hard-core hoarders keep. It’s about the secret hoarding going on in everyone’s life. Yes; you, my friend. You are a hoarder. (more…)

Don’t Get Hysterical
Sunday, July 10th, 2011
Don’t deny it; you know you do it. You may pretend you don’t, but let’s be honest; you schedule that “special time” with yourself. I don’t care what you call it and I don’t care how you do it. Maybe you don’t have a vibrator at the side of your bed. Maybe you just (more…)

Here Comes St. Jude!
Friday, January 14th, 2011
When was the last time someone unexpected came to your house? When I was a kid, once a year the old man (old to me, at least) who was collecting for St. Jude’s Hospital showed up at the door. We would yell “St. Jude is here!” and my father would bitch and moan under his breath because, (more…)
