“Life doesn’t always work out the way we want.” In the big book of truth, that statement should be listed first, followed closely by, “We always hurt the one’s we love.” I am nothing if I am not honest. Truth is the thin, pale wall between what we want and what we need. It is … Read more
I think I remember someone saying something about the ecology of families… or maybe he was just saying that people who have children are ruining the planet. I have written about my thoughts on parents and the reasons people choose to have children before so I won’t revisit that particular hedge row this time out, … Read more
Nothing can be quite as irritating as someone who complains. And yes, I realize that by stating that fact, I am in essence doing the very thing that I am railing against… Irony… it’s a bitch.

An open letter to my blog: Dear Monkey Diaries, I’m really sorry I’ve been away for so long. Well, not away as much as blatantly ignoring you. See, something has been missing from our relationship for quite some time. I wish I could say it was me, but the truth is it’s really been all … Read more
