When I was a kid, my mother told me I could be anyone I wanted to be.

Does Music Sound Different on THC? Or Are You Just Really Into That Bass Line?
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
Ever wondered if music actually sounds different under the influence of THC? Some say it transforms ordinary tracks into immersive masterpieces, while others chalk it up to wishful thinking. But what does science have to say?
Beyond the Borders
Slather Before the Sun Slaughters You
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
Sunscreen for dudes? Sure, it’s important, just like drinking water or remembering your anniversary. Turns out, skipping sunblock isn’t just a bad habit but a fast track to leathery skin, sunspots, and regret. Here’s what actually works when it comes to staying sun smart.
The Hole in the Pot Handle Isn’t Just for Hanging

Man on the Move
 | Work Hard, Work Early, Work WiselyDudes, ever notice how some people seem to get more done with the same 24 hours? It’s not luck, it’s a head start they gave themselves. On a farm, there are no days off. The cattle need feeding, no matter the weather. You wake up early, get to work, and don’t wait for someone else to do it. |
That kind of work ethic sticks. My grandparents didn’t just farm, they fixed engines, welded, plumbed, and even delivered calves. Their hands were worn and weathered, but they never stopped. That’s where I learned what it really means to work hard, work early, and work wisely.
Here’s the Move: Fear is passive, confidence is active. If you focus on doing the right thing instead of avoiding the wrong thing, you break Murphy’s cycle. Prepare, stay decisive, and trust yourself because confidence repels failure.
Why bother? Because letting fear run your mind is the fastest way to lose control. Flip the mindset, take control, and Murphy’s Law won’t own you.

The Misadventures of a 10-Foot Fishing Boat
Kentucky Dude Original, 2-minute read (including a quiz)
Before casting a single line, my son declared that the key to catching a state record bass was a BB gun showdown because obviously, precision shooting and fishing go hand in hand. Little did we know, the real challenge wouldn't be the fish, it would be surviving the chaos of our boat, the weather, and my son's relentless bait-switching obsession.
Dad Joke of the Week: Answer
Turns out, identity theft is a crime. 😆
