So, when I started my Malus N Mayhem blog, I had a few requests from friends and family to cover certain subjects. One such request was to tackle the topic of Veterans Day (no apostrophe before the s) and how it differs from Memorial Day. Originally posted around Veterans Day in 2016, I’ve decided toContinue reading “Veterans Day vs. Memorial Day”

The Friend Zone; or, How to Stop Whining and Be a Man

Ghosting; or, How to Communicate and Be an Adult
The third and final Throwback Thursday post for today again comes from the Malus and Mayhem blog, and showcases an instance of me being agitated about the state of the relationship between the genders in the 21st Century–this time, manifested in the form of the concept of “ghosting.” I still think it’s a terrible thingContinue reading “Ghosting; or, How to Communicate and Be an Adult”
