Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is not currently doing any hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. The function was called too early (before the plugins_loaded action) to determine the plugin source. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Welcome New Readers!

D.J. Paris

In the past few weeks, traffic has really jumped and I wanted to say thanks.  You’ve probably noticed comments have picked up and I’m glad you’re all talking.

Also, if you’re new, back in January I committed to writing every day.  After that ended, I decided to just keep going.  I think today is around day 88 or so.

Obviously, I don’t expect you to read everything.  You’d have to have borderline personality disorder to do that.  Some of you do.  It’s okay, because  I love attention from anyone.

If you’re new…

I feel like I should leave you with something with a little entertainment value.  Hmm… Let’s see.

In my current relationship I immediately apologize for imperfect behavior.  If I don’t provide my girlfriend  with something she needs, I say, “I’m sorry – I’ll try harder.”  And what she asks for is totally reasonable stuff.  She’s not insecure or crazy.  And a lot of women say, “Wow – she’s so lucky that you acknowledge what you can do to improve.  My husband would never own his crap!”

And I understand how that may seem attractive, but I’m not sure it’s much better.  See, I  know  what to do, and I just often don’t do it.  As an imperfect being, this is okay, but how many times can you apologize for something before the other partner starts thinking, “He’s apologized forty-seven times for this, yet he’s never actually done anything to change it.”

This is where I get stuck.  I’m great at the apology.  I’m the first to fire off a sincere, “Hey, I totally hear your truth and I honor it.  I can do better, and I’m sorry for X.”  And, I’m no pussy.  Women don’t walk over me.  But when I fuck up, I have to admit and make amends.  It’s the next step that’s hard – actually doing something.

Ha – I wrote an entire article without one joke.  Maybe this wasn’t entertaining.  I’m sorry, and I’ll do better tomorrow.  (see what I did there?)

He's sorry this post sucked.
