The Duck Whisperer: Justin's Farmyard Feats
Justin Small, that’s me, a farm boy in Campton, New Hampshire.
I swapped sidewalk chalk for chicken feed and playing Roblox for mastering the art of duck whispering.
I arrived at Tree of Life farm on Miclon road, boots firmly planted in the mud. My mission: to become the ultimate duck caretaker, a feathered Robin Hood in overalls.
My days start with the rooster's crow, the crisp mountain air waking me before the sun peeked over the mountains. Armed with a bucket of feed and a bottomless bucket of enthusiasm, I waddle into the duck pen, greeted by a cacophony of honks and excited splashes. These weren't your plastic bath-time buddies; these were real, live ducks, each with their own quirky personalities and feathery demands.
I learned their names faster than you can say "quack-a-dile Dundee." There was Mama, Puppy, Pinky, Odd Duck, Lumpy, Dark Wing, Mother Duck, Onyx, Obsidian, Ebony, Janie, Jasmin, and Jack. I would tell my mother that I loved all the ducks the same, but my roosters Sky and Q-tip knew Odd Duck was my favorite.
Each day was a new adventure, filled with lessons in duck psychology, pond-muck mucking, the delicate art of coaxing a stubborn duck back into its coop, and collecting eggs still warm from the nest. I learned the language of ducks – the excited honks for breakfast, the indignant squawks at bath time, and the contented murmurs as they drifted off to sleep under the star-studded Campton sky.
So, if you find yourself amidst the honking chaos of the duck pond of life, remember me and the joy that comes from caring for a creature with just two wings and a whole lot of quack.
So keep quacking, everyone, And carry on. Thank you!
A Sudden Encounter: The Cabinet Door Collision Chronicles
Introduction:
Picture this: a seemingly ordinary day, going about my business, when a mundane task takes an unexpected turn. The culprit? A seemingly innocent cabinet door. Join me as I share my recent misadventure that left me with a throbbing headache and a lesson learned.
The Routine Turned Unexpected:
It all started with a simple task — a quick bend to retrieve an item from the bottom shelf. Little did I know that this routine act would soon transform into a memorable (and very painful) experience. As I stood up, my mind focused on the upcoming tasks, completely unaware of the cabinet door looming overhead.
The Impact:
With a swift and unexpected movement, my head met the solid wooden surface of the cabinet door. The world paused for a moment as the initial shock set in. Pain radiated from the point of impact, and I couldn't help but wonder how such a routine action could take such an unexpected turn.
The Immediate Aftermath:
As I gingerly touched the affected area, I couldn't help but reflect on the unpredictability of life's little moments. The throbbing pain was a reminder that even the most mundane activities can turn into unforeseen adventures. Ice pack in hand, I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, stupid me.
Lessons Learned:
Beyond the physical discomfort, this unexpected collision with the cabinet door offered a valuable lesson — the importance of mindfulness in our daily activities. In the hustle and bustle of our lives, it's easy to overlook the potential hazards that surround us. Taking a moment to be present, even during the most routine tasks, can prevent unnecessary mishaps.
Navigating Life's Cabinets:
Life, much like a cabinet filled with unexpected corners and surprises, requires a careful approach. While we can't predict every twist and turn, we can cultivate awareness and mindfulness to navigate the metaphorical cabinet doors that may unexpectedly swing our way.
Conclusion:
In the grand tapestry of life, there are moments that stand out, not for their grandiosity, but for their unexpected nature. My encounter with a cabinet door serves as a reminder to approach each day with a sense of mindfulness and a readiness for the unforeseen. So, as I nurse my slightly bruised ego and extremely aching head, I invite you to join me in embracing life's quirks and learning from the unexpected encounters that shape our journey. After all, sometimes, it takes a gentle (or not-so-gentle) reminder from a cabinet door to appreciate the unpredictable beauty of life.
Real Men Don't Use Pillow Shams: A Manifesto for the Manly Sleeper
Listen up, guys. You know those fluffy, frilly things that frame your pillows like a grandma's doily collection? Yeah, those. Pillow shams, the decorative darlings of the duvet set. They scream "boudoir" and "lavender sachets" louder than your uncle's cologne at a family reunion.
Now, I'm not saying a man can't have a stylish bedroom. A touch of class is fine. But when it comes to sleep, true masculinity demands practicality, not prissiness. Pillow shams are the sartorial equivalent of a man-bun: unnecessary, attention-seeking, and frankly, a bit embarrassing.
Here's why real men ditch the pillow shams:
P.S. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, point them to this blog. They'll learn a thing or two about real men and their pillows. Now go forth and sleep soundly, unshackled by the tyranny of pillow shams.

Real Men Don't Use Pillow Shams: A Manifesto for the Manly Sleeper
Listen up, guys. You know those fluffy, frilly things that frame your pillows like a grandma's doily collection? Yeah, those. Pillow shams, the decorative darlings of the duvet set. They scream "boudoir" and "lavender sachets" louder than your uncle's cologne at a family reunion.
Now, I'm not saying a man can't have a stylish bedroom. A touch of class is fine. But when it comes to sleep, true masculinity demands practicality, not prissiness. Pillow shams are the sartorial equivalent of a man-bun: unnecessary, attention-seeking, and frankly, a bit embarrassing.
Here's why real men ditch the pillow shams:
- They're useless. They serve no purpose beyond hiding pillow stains, which frankly, is a sign you need to wash your linens, not decorate them. A man's pillow doesn't need a fashion makeover, it needs a good scrub.
- They're high maintenance. Forget tossing your pillow in the laundry with the duvet. Pillow shams require special care, like delicate handwashing and air drying. Ain't nobody got time for that. A real man's pillow gets washed with the sheets, period.
- They're a dust magnet. Those ruffles and folds are prime real estate for dust bunnies and stray crumbs. A man's sleep space should be clean and simple, not a breeding ground for allergens.
- They're just plain feminine. Let's be honest, pillow shams are more suited for a princess's boudoir than a man's cave. A real man's bedroom needs rugged textures and clean lines, not floral embroidery and lace.
P.S. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, point them to this blog. They'll learn a thing or two about real men and their pillows. Now go forth and sleep soundly, unshackled by the tyranny of pillow shams.
