The Force is Strong With Pop Secret and This Daddy Blog

#PopWars

In college, I was never part of a fraternity. I had my friends but I was never part of a larger organized group.

Yep, I was handpicked by those powerful in the ways of The Force (that’d be the awesome folks at Life of Dad and Pop Secret!) to join the Jedi Alliance and help share …

My 43rd Birthday Was a ‘Super’ Success

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 43, though I still feel like I’m 20-something. Which helps explain the geektastic gifts my family got for me. I took the day off from work and just had a nice relaxing morning, followed by a special lunch with my beautiful, significant other, who moved her schedule around just to spend time with me.

Good. Well, Netflix is far from a one-trick pony. There’s plenty more superheroing to go around. My family regularly watches Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. each week, but I’m happy to see that the first season is now on Netflix! That means more people …

My Style Finally Catches Up With Me

Back in my high school and college days, I wore my jean jacket proudly. It was the thing to do in the ’80s and early ’90s. You’d slap on all sorts of patches on the sleeves, various pins on the front pockets and if you really went all out, you’d get one ginormous patch covering the entire back. Usually it’d be music related like huge painted images from Iron Maiden or Pink Floyd. I never …
