My Gen X Playlist: I Wanna Dance With Somebody – Morgan Harper Jones
I recently watched a Netflix movie. It was one of those hour and a half, made for streaming films that you don’t take too seriously and doesn’t sap an entire evening. The story included a woman with cancer throwing a living memorial so that she could say goodbye to her friends and family before she … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: I Wanna Dance With Somebody – Morgan Harper Jones
My Gen X Playlist: Walk Out To Winter – Aztec Camera
Let’s be honest. Southern Californians are wimps when it comes to cold weather. If it dips in the 60’s, we feel an ice age might be coming around the corner. To us, that’s cold. In the 50’s, that’s damn cold and a sign that the end of the world is near. But you can’t blame … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Walk Out To Winter – Aztec Camera
My Gen X Playlist: Givin the Dog a Bone – AC/DC
I’ve gotten better at carving a whole rotisserie chicken. The first few times I butchered it pretty badly, but eventually sought help from YouTube. I always try to save the wishbone so we can pull it and make a wish. That’s the closest I’ve come to a broken bone. Knock on wood. I felt small … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Givin the Dog a Bone – AC/DC
My Gen X Playlist: Superman (It Ain’t Easy) – Five For Fighting
I don’t. I mean, it’s not like I don’t try. And in my defense, I have gotten better. But I do get consumed with work. It’s a little bit of a catch-22, though. This imbalance has helped propel my career, but it seems at a cost. Unfortunately, the reward for success is more stress and … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Superman (It Ain’t Easy) – Five For Fighting
My Gen X Playlist: My Sacrifice – Creed
There are a few places I hover when I go grocery shopping. The most painful place is the pastry section. When I say hover, I mean I literally stand there and stare at pastries and donuts. I’ll pick a box up, look at the nutritional content hoping it has magically changed to being healthy. Sometimes … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: My Sacrifice – Creed
My Gen X Playlist: Blue Monday – New Order
My wife likes jewelry, but isn’t obsessed with it. She doesn’t overdo it and wears enough to complete her outfit. She is happy when she unwraps a gift and sees a robin’s egg blue box. I didn’t even know that was even a color name until I looked it up just now. You learn something … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Blue Monday – New Order
My Gen X Playlist: A Symptom of Being Human – Shinedown
One of the worst experiences I ever had was having to let someone go. She was almost sixty years old, had been with the company for 20 years and just bought a new house. I’d spent countless hours providing personal training to get her up to speed but she was lacking the right skills to … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: A Symptom of Being Human – Shinedown
My Gen X Playlist: Strobe Light – The B52’s
I used to like eating pineapple, but it was such a pain to cut up and serve. I didn’t really know how to cut it cleanly. There would always be too many hard pokey nubs left over that were never fun to chew. If I tried cleaning them up, I always felt like I was … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Strobe Light – The B52’s
My Gen X Playlist: One Step Forward and Three Steps Back – dodie
I was standing in our shower and noticed it needed new caulking where the wall met the floor. Now if you’ve been a reader of this blog for awhile, you already know I’m not handy at all. In fact, I’m the exact opposite of handy. I am an unhandyman, if there is such a thing. … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: One Step Forward and Three Steps Back – dodie
My Gen X Playlist: Waiting On A Friend – The Rolling Stones
I have a good friend from college that I’ve known for over 30 years. Typically with friendships that last that long, you tend to rub off on one another. The one thing that I appreciate about him is his get shit done attitude. He doesn’t complain, bitch or moan. Despite the task, he rolls up … Continue reading My Gen X Playlist: Waiting On A Friend – The Rolling Stones
