You Just Never Know

There are landmark days that stand out in people’s minds, for a variety of reasons. Your birthday, your wedding day, your high school graduation day, or the night you drank the blue liquor and nearly blacked out at a bachelor party. Authors tend to commemorate these occasions by releasing a book on their birthday, or perhaps re-releasing a book on the same day for continuity purposes. I published my first book on February 26, 2016. Even then, I wasn’t an author. I was simply a guy who wrote a book. Some years later, I published another book on April 20, 2023. For all intents and purposes, that was my first day as a “real” author. However, the day that truly sticks out in my mind is July 29, 2023. Facebook likes to tell you what happened "On This Day". You see, a year ago, I boarded a plane to visit my family in Florida and enjoy a trip to Walt Disney World. I landed at approximately 1:30pm, walked for a thousand years through a brand-new concourse at Orlando International Air...

Why Davey Johnson Must Save Bryce Harper Now for Both of Their Sakes

(last one!) By Brian Scala May 13, 2012      (Joe Robbins/Getty Images)                     On Friday night, the face of the Washington Nationals needed 10 stitches after his first major league moment of rage gave him a bloody eye and welt. Since his call-up on April 28, Bryce Harper has shown flashes of brilliance and poise. One week ago, he was praised for handling Cole Hamels’ distorted view of “old-school baseball” with class and dignity, and a steal of home to boot. Since that moment, however, Harper has looked like a typical 19-year-old rookie who is not quite ready for prime time. He has one extra-base hit in that span, and his average has dipped from .308 to .213. If Harper’s response to Hamels’ words and actions were brilliantly clich éd, his response to his obvious struggles was also clich éd, albeit painfu...

Waiting For That First Check

I'm not going to lie. I forgot I had this blog. I'm not even sure if people still blog. Well, I'm going to do so, because I need to. Twitter is too toxic for me. Don't get me wrong. I've met some great people through the bird app. They are the only reason why I still have it. I've recently realized how dangerous it is for my mental health (and, for that matter, my relationships with my friends) to tweet a spur-of-the-moment missive and wait for three random people to like it and nobody to comment. It's designed to make you beg for validation that will never come. It's a drug and we know what happens when you become addicted to drugs. You crave it more and more until you become overbearing and self- loathing. It only gets worse from there.  Maybe this blog is the rehab I need. I used to write a lot. In fact, for those of you whom I've recently met, I wrote a book. Yes, a real book. It's available on Amazon and everything. It totally sucks. No self...
