My first apartment ever, and how low my standards were
When I went off to college I was not yet 18 because of where my birthday lies. It's an unusual thing being a minor and moving into your own place because you are not yet legally allowed to sign a l...
Let me tell you about my kind of going fishing
I go fishing quite a lot in the summer and fall particularly. I've been doing it most of my life and yet, I'm not one of those people that focuses on having an expensive rod and while I do have som...
Dumb criminality I witnessed growing up: Breaking into gun owner's house
If you already read my byline about how the criminals in this situation were very lucky the homeowner was using restraint let me explain to you briefly the gun laws of North Carolina, where this re...
Really dumb criminality that I witnessed growing up
I see that there's something in the news about FLOK cameras or something like that. I don't really pay much attention to the news these days and I haven't seen any of that nonsense in my area. But ...
Reflecting on my youth: Billy's Ham and Eggs
Back when I was in elementary, middle, and high school, New Bern, NC was kind of disconnected from the corporate world. We still are not a very large community but you don't really have to be anymo...
North Carolina legislation going to strike down new "hemp restriction bill"
These things sort of take place without me ever knowing about them because I don't really smoke weed and while we do have a dispensary here it isn't really all that widespread. NC is one of the few...
The time I found out martial arts are bullshit
The title of this is a little bit clickbait I will admit. Obviously real martial arts are not BS. Someone that really knows any of the disciplines is going to have a massive advantage in a fight ov...
The day when I got a brutal life-lesson about car insurance
There are a lot of bad things that can happen to a person in their life that will end up teaching them a harsh life lesson and one of my first really big ones was when I was 16 years old and had ju...
A job that kind of defined my life: Working in landscaping
Like a lot of teenagers I went to school not really having an objective other than doing well enough to not get in trouble at home and get the job done so that I could do other things. When we star...
Joe Manchin speaks out against Socialists
I try to keep my nose out of politics for the most part but when I see the name Joe Manchin I listen because this guy is a Democrat that managed to get elected and stay elected in a state that is o...
Crawfish: I like it, but it's too much work for the reward
Crawfish, Crayfish, baby lobster, crawdaddies: Whatever you call it, it is a strange food that seems to exist in vast quantities. This food item has a lot of names but for the most part I consider ...
When you don't punish people, they repeat the bad behavior
I'm not for an authoritarian state, I am not in favor of mass surveillance for crime prevention. I am in favor of punishments being harsh enough that the people who do the crimes in the first place...
Jobs I sucked at: A line cook at a sit-down restaurant
I should explain what I mean by a "sit-down" restaurant because maybe that is just North Carolina talk. What I mean by that is that it is a restaurant with a menu, waiters, bill at the end, there i...
The first jobs I ever had: Lawnmowing, and I had it for years
This is a job that was probably quite common for boys or even some girls back when I was a pre-teen. There was a lot of money to be made by something that almost anyone outside of the city has to d...
The 2nd job I ever had: Dishwasher at a seafood restaurant
When i was a kid my parents were of modest but adequate means. We never struggled for food or clothes but we wouldn't go out to eat very often - when we did it was considered a real treat. We had g...
