My struggle with being a dad
When you read that headline, it might seem that I either don’t like it or I am having a really hard time but that in fact is not the case at all. It’s actually something else entirely. I don’t know what most people think, but for me, I have always considered myself to be somewhat … Continue reading
My long lost sister finally found
On August 5th, 2005, I posted about the fact that I had found out about a brother I never knew I had. It was a big surprise but at the time it was an even bigger surprise because it turned out I knew him and had worked with him for almost five years. Today, another … Continue reading
It was a bad day today
I took some days off this week to try and get my head straight around this whole dad thing. It has not been easy as I am fighting a lot of different kinds of emotion with it right now. On top of that, some money woes have been bothering me for some time, and the … Continue reading
R.I.P. Brian Klem
At 10:30pm last night, I received a phone call that I have been expecting for a very long time. My dad’s fiance called me to tell me that he had passed away during the night. It was a surprise to hear but I was at least glad she called to tell me. My dad is … Continue reading

Just wrote my "online" last will and testament
No. It’s not my will. I don’t have a will. I should have a will but right now I don’t have one. What I’m talking about is what to do with all the “online” stuff I have when I’m gone. Let’s face it. I’m not planning on dying anytime soon, but if tomorrow a piano … Continue reading
I finally finished my latest video
I started it sometime last year. I think it was around December but I can’t say for sure. I have been wanting to make a video using Goo Goo Dolls “Better Days” song for a long time and I finally had an idea for one. I did a pile of work on it in December … Continue reading
Christmas 2009
Yes folks, another holiday has passed already. Here it is Boxing Day 2009 and in a few days, the new year will be here. So, how did your holiday turn out? Well, let me describe ours.

The long talk
So after having spent several weeks being somewhat pissed at mom, I finally went to visit her last night and gave her my spiel. I’m not gonna go into details here because it really is a private matter, but needless to say, I said what I needed to say. Truth is, I waited a few … Continue reading
