  • It’s been 9 years, I’m married again (happily), and my ex-wife is never coming back.

    It’s difficult to go from best friends who tell eachother everything, to strangers.

    It took a lot of therapy for me to realize that we both played a part in our marriage ending, and it wasn’t all my fault. But, I also learned in the process that my childhood really screwed me up, and I needed to deal with it, and reconcile with the fact that I didn’t have a loving childhood. The abuse, both verbal, physical, and sexual has had a lasting effect on me as an adult.

    But, most importantly, I learned that I can heal from all of it, and grow as a person.

    I think she’s happy now, and so am I. So even though I still miss her once im a while, I know things worked out for the best.








  • A spokesperson who phoned the author at 10:36 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday spent the majority of a more than 90 minute discussion attempting to pursuade this publication to stop digging into who was running the Safe Reach Solutions shell company: “I’m not trying to run you off a story, you can do whatever you want. Someone else is going to break that one,” the spokesperson continued, in an apparent reference to their process of burying the detail into a story at The Washington Post. “The next story to write if I’m you, is a piece about the humanitarian [aid] and hostages."

    What pieces of shit. He subtly threatened the person trying to interview him, telling them to leave the story alone and stop looking into it.


  • There’s only so much funding to go around. Unfortunately, it’s just the way it works right now, so you have to be careful who you let work on your projects. If you don’t produce results, the funding agency is unlikely to give you funding next time you ask for a grant. Ergo, you have to be stingy about who you have work on projects funded by grants.
