Let Me Tell You About The Time A Book Saved My Life In Iraq

Ok full disclosure this is not as drastic as the time One Tree Hill saved my life in Iraq. However, it was still an impactful moment for me during my deployment and honestly, I didn't realize how much so until about a week ago when I was reflecting in my office.  When I went to Iraq I was 23 years o

If You're Upset About Michael Strahan "Disrespecting The Military" You're An Enormous Loser

What planet am I on anymore? And today of all days… I woke up so excited for my free Applebees riblets meal and 30% Kohl's discount and this lunacy nearly crushed my vibe. "The great irony is that Strahan is on a ship surrounded by men and women who would willingly sacrifice their lives to defend hi

A classic E-2 tale.  Apparentl

Veterans At This Flooded VFW Post Refused To Give Up, So Now Dave Portnoy Is Matching All Donations To Save It And Rebuild

Last Fall Hurricane Ida ripped through the Philly area & destroyed homes & businesses along the Schuylkill River (don’t ask me how many tries it took to spell that right).

Thus, the video from my trip to The Sausage Castle's '

And thank you to the staff at Men's Ware

Fat Shaming Is Back In A Big Way

There are moments in Zero Blog 30 where Kate comes off as a big ole softee. When we start talking about the fats, that really brings it out.
