The Chaos Series: August 12, 2025
In an ongoing effort to keep my brain focused on something other than the drama from “that side of town,” I’ve made a commitment: one story a day.
Why? Because if I don’t focus my energy on something creative, my mind will go places it shouldn’t — and I’m not interested in going crazy just to give the front-stream gang free rent in my head.
So, what is the Chaos Theory?
It’s not some sci-fi subplot from The Big Bang Theory on TV. The Chaos Theory is fiction… built on reality. Yeah — fiction on reality. Let’s not try to explain that. You can figure it out as you read.
These stories are rooted in real events, but they’ve been bent, twisted, and polished just enough to keep things entertaining — and maybe a little unpredictable.
Yesterday marked the start of the Chaos Series, and I found it absolutely hilarious. There’s just something about writing a true story that hits harder than anything made up — because nothing is funnier than the truth, and, if you ask me, nothing’s scarier than it either.
This is more than a distraction. It’s a deliberate effort to lean into my roles: husband, father, grandfather, son… and, yes, even those moments when I have to remember that my words, as harmless as I think they are, sometimes land a little differently with others.
I’m choosing creativity over chaos — at least the kind I can’t control.
Welcome to the Chaos Theory. Buckle up, because the truth makes the best fiction — and the ride’s already moving.
