Hey, we’ve all been there before. Where? In a situation where you  just feel too overwhelmed or too unprepared to deal with it.  In a situation where the only choice you have is to sink or swim and you left your water floaties in the kiddie pool at grannie’s house.  Those are the situations that seperate the men from the boys, the chickens from the eggs…and we have all ended up the egg, right?  Cracked…or Fried….or Both.
If you are denying that you’ve ever been there, you’re probably fibbing to yourself.  Nobody …

How’s it going Humans?
Sometimes people ask me things like “Hey Rocky, what are you going to do when you retire?

A cool cat” but I have never seen …

Hey Humans!
Rocky here. I figured today we would keep it short and sweet (like yours truly). Ever heard the saying: “You’re barking up the wrong tree”?
If not, where the heck are you from…Slovenia? (note: no disrespect to my Slovenian brothers and sisters..but everyone knows that trees don’t grow in your country. True story.)
