Movie podcast in my headphones: "And that was starring James Caan."

Video games from my childhood have me over prepared for the amount of barrels full of toxic waste I would encounter in my adult life.

Watching the movie Aliens and I'm confused. Is the Queen an elected official or is it more of a family bloodline thing?

I'm trying to eat better but the bacteria in my guts love leftover Halloween candy.

When I go to the grocery store to just buy one item I make sure I don't get a cart or basket so that when I get to the checkout I look like a complete idiot struggling to not drop the twelve other things I picked out.

Me as a child: Climbs trees, somersaults off the couch, rides my bike over makeshift ramps.

Me now: I injured my shoulder 2 nights ago by sleeping. I was feeling better today but just reinjured it by sneezing.

Look, if you really want to ruin some of my woodworking tools, you should get on my level.

Some days you just gotta wait for new emails to come in and push the stressful email off screen.

When I was a kid and an adult would say that something would "stunt your growth" I thought they meant it in a cool way like a motorcycle jumping over cars.

I tried to do some pen spins on my left hand but kept dropping it. I switched to my right hand as my wife walked in the room and dropped it again! That's some real second hand embarrassment.

My wife made me breakfast in bed! It was delicious but the cleanup is a hassle. I wish she would go back to making breakfast in the kitchen.

I heard someone on a podcast talk about "Getting DRESSED for work." and how they "Walked over to the DRESSER." and I swear I never made the connection before. "Dresser" was always just a unique word that was attached to that object and I never questioned it.

ME: [extremely burnt out] I need to take the day off to relax.

ALSO ME: I wonder if there is a way that I could relax that would be more productive.

My job involves writing lots and lots of jokes and then to convince myself none of them are funny enough when it's time to draw one.

Did you hear that the bad guy from the Power Puff Girls is starting a karate studio with that four-time Olympic medalist? It's the Mojo Jojo Flo-Jo Dojo.
