The ABCs Of Total Life Chaos

Accidentally married a raccoon in Vegas.

Bought him a tiny tuxedo. Regret nothing.

Called Mom. She cried and sent snacks.

Decided to name him Greg.

Everyone said, “You need help.”

Fired from my job for “rodent nepotism.”

Greg now runs the company.

He promoted himself to CEO of Snacks.

I found that inspirational.

Jumped on a trampoline to celebrate.

Knocked over my neighbor’s hot tub—again.

Lawsuit...

I gripped my oar as I pushed it through the pristine water. It was clear and calm, and it spread out ahead as far as the eye could muster to see. Mountains lay out for miles beside me, coated with luscious forest. The silence was like a magical song that tickled my ears with its peaceful and soundless tune.

Before me, two Lanterns floated, each one a bright beacon, testaments to the stars twinkli...

“Where in the hell are you when I need you, you sneaky wench?”

He paced, he growled, he threw his pen at the wall. (Yes, he still wrote with a fountain pen.)

“Damn muse,” he muttered.

The muse, a tiny ethereal redhead, set perched on the top of the bookcase and peered down. She flicked a dismissive hand.

“And what have you done for me lately? Hmm?”

She continued.

When was the last ti...

We live in a tornado of pure conundrums.

Can we find peace in an eye of storm when all thumbs?

Is there an oasis in this great concrete jungle?

Some grove of sereneness that we can’t ever bungle.

Inner peace in sea of chaos. Tranquil valley

With birds chirping or are we stuck in back alley....

When I first saw her face, I knew we would be best friends.

You see, Kendran is the new “puppy” in the house. At least, I think she’s a puppy… If she is, it’s almost unfortunate due to her lack of fur… Seriously, I do not know what went wrong in her birth but something screwed up because she’s BALD! I remember when I was a puppy and not just a dog, and I was SHAGGY to say the very least! There’s a...

Chapter 4: “How to Handle Conflict Like a Rabid Raccoon”

From the best-selling book: “Crush Life (And Maybe a Few Relationships)” by Chad “AlphaStorm” Braggins

Let’s be real—conflict is for losers. And winners. Mostly winners, because we’re the ones who START IT.

Someone cuts you in line?

Growl. Show dominance.

Bonus points if you’re holding a protein shake.

Roommate didn’t do the dishes?
