So This is Imposter Syndrome

October 25, 2019 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

44R jacket. Matching 34/32 slacks. Complimentary 17 dress shirt. Vibrant, yet professional, tie. I’m a time bomb? Okay, not exactly, but considering I put it together in under an hour at Value Village while retaining current-century fashion sensibilities is worthy of a little fist bump. Such was my Friday afternoon last. An unforeseen, panicked shopping […]

My Unpopular Opinion and My Comeuppance

December 13, 2018 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

We live in an era where the secret to popularity is being unpopular.  Need I trot out the President of the United States as proof?  The man is president precisely because he is unpopular.  It’s what made him popular.  There is a sizable portion of the electorate whose sole motivation for voting a particular way […]

My Marriage Proposal: It’s The Thought That Counts, Right?

October 17, 2014 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

In recognition of our 11th wedding anniversary this Saturday I thought it fitting to share the story of my marriage proposal to the woman who’s remained with me all these years despite being of sound mind and body and intelligence and self-confidence and multitudes of friends and loved ones who surely must be wondering what […]

Lighten Up! It’s Good To Laugh At Yourself

September 26, 2014 by acrockofschmidt 6 Comments

One of the most prominent among my numerous pet peeves is people who complain about niggling things.  This pet peeve itself very rightly could be construed as niggling.  I intend to complain about it nonetheless.  Hypocrisy is another pet peeve of mine.  Conversely, I’m quite fond of irony.  Your support or opposition to my forthcoming […]

I Am A Homemaker (An Ode With Semicolons and Parentheses)

July 14, 2014 by acrockofschmidt 4 Comments

ICH BIN FRAU YAMUS! It took a full five years and two months, but I’ve finally done it. I’ve quit. I’ve capitulated. I’ve given up all pretense and self-delusion and accepted what I am. In fact, I’ve not only accepted it but I’ve fully embraced it. I’ve embraced it with the zeal of a newborn […]

Stop Sneezing Into My Eyeballs!

June 17, 2014 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

So I’m sick; no, not Sarc sick, normal sick.  Achy head, phlegm in throat, and general malaise or as I like to call it, being a parent.  You know.  The kind of sick you get when your already sick kid sneezes into your face and you can literally feel the spatter of spittle on your […]
