For those who may have read my last blog, and thought, "Wow. Mike is a super serious, deep guy, who we should take seriously." I am also the guy who, for the past 9 years, has had to convince my boss at least once a year, that I don't shave my arms. I'm just not that hairy. I don't know if it's genetic, or if...

I've been watching this show on Paramount+ called "Indivisible: Healing Hate". It's a really interesting and informative show, that traces the history of white supremacy in America, and how it may have/probably did, lead directly to the insurrection on January 6th, 2021. They cover the big incidents that pretty much everyone knows about, like Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Oklahoma City;...

I've been posting some blogs on the SG site, treating them as if I were writing in a personal journal, for no audience. It's been many, many years since I've written on a regular basis. I started in elementary school, continued through high school, and when I enlisted senior year, the plan was to continue to keep a journal throughout my time in the Army....

@truetrue316, thanks for the tip. I've glanced at it a few times, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I haven't been able to get "9-Finger Mike," out of my head, and now I kinda wish I had cut my finger off. Strictly for the nickname.

Either that or “Mikey 1-Thumb”

Does anyone else ever wonder if their life is actually a cartoon, or a really bad sitcom? I've been having one of those weeks. For those who have read my past blogs, my mental health is doing just fine, I actually find the following funny. It started on Monday, when I had 2 crews show up to a job, because no-one told me it wasn't...

I almost cut the tip of my thumb off at work today. That's it. That's the post. I'd post pictures, but it's pretty gross. Be careful with table saws, kids.

What's The Dumbest/Weirdest Thing You've Done To Kill Time At Work?

Between the ages of 19 and 20, I lived in South Korea. Now, the area of S. Korea I lived in, didn't offer much in the way of leisure activities on the weekends. So every weekend for a year, I found myself skateboard jousting in the hallway of the building I lived in, or setting my roommate's (very) hairy arms on fire with lighter fluid,...

I would often try to fight total boredom on staff development/training days. The kind of days that are an utter waste of time. I would fill in the feedback forms through the day (multiples of course). Stuff like “The facilitator is sadly depriving a village somewhere of an idiot”. Or. “The facilitator appeared to have an incredible flatulence, which was not only utterly rancid, but not conducive to a positive learning experience”. And my favourite was along the lines of  “As much as I would love to spend my days with you, sometimes I actually have shit to do.”
