Throughout the years I’ve received hundreds, upon hundreds, of email from people asking questions about PTSD. From what to do about it for themselves, to friends, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, etc. And throughout the years I’ve answered all emails personally with my own thoughts on what each situation calls for, and have written several blog posts on the subject matter, and throughout the years I’ve received emails back saying that “this helped,” or “that helped,” in regards to PTSD.
I got an email from the creator of the funny Youtube video “Shit Civilians Say to Veterans,” informing me that he just posted some new videos about “Shit People Say about Women in Combat,” I thought I’d sure here for all who haven’t already seen them.
It seems as though, lately, everyone’s been coming out with their own original online series. I’m always curious about them, just to see what’s out there; but not many of them seem to amount to anything worthwhile. BUT… recently I came across a new series called First Dates With Toby Harris…and I love it. It’s a great, quick comedy that leaves you wanting more:
“First Dates With Toby Harris is a journey of ill-fated first dates with the lovable (sometimes deplorable) and always single Toby Harris. Love him or hate him, a date with Toby is one you’ll always remember.”
Recently my Yahoo email account was hacked (sorry for anyone who got a spam email) it’s been happening more and more lately to friends and now it’s finally happened to me. It’s an awful feeling to know that you’ve been hacked and all your contacts–business, and friends–have been sent links to porn sites (funny story about that in a second).
Here’s the steps to take if anyone else out there gets hacked by these bastards.
I’ve been doing some vegan stand up comedy, and I’ve posted up a video of the full comedy routine, but I’m also going to be breaking the jokes up individually and posting them on here–plus a few bonus jokes, too!
Imagine being away for a long time, in a place that doesn’t even resemble the world you grew up in. It used to be a feather pillow, jeans that fit just right and the smell of fresh cut grass that meant you were home. Now you’ve dedicated yourself to being a soldier, bravely and lovingly protecting the place you call home from thousands of miles away. Hospital corners, camouflaged pants and the smell of smoking guns becomes your new norm. What happens when your tour comes to an end and it’s time to trade in your combat gear for street clothes? Will you be prepared? This life-changing transition of re-integrating into American society has the potential to knock even the most decorated soldier off his or her feet.

So the statistics just came out and 2012 was the highest year so far in veteran suicides. The number have constantly been going up for the past decade with each subsequent year the new highest year for veteran suicides.
On the same note, two of the most popular posts on my website have been posts about PTSD and what to do if you/a friend/or a spouse has PTSD. A week doesn’t go by where I don’t get at least two or three emails of people looking for help, either for themselves or a friend.
Well here it is. I’ve been talking about it for a while. It’s rough, and we had a few problems with the audio, but the crowd was great and I think it went well. Here’s the first clip of me doing just vegan and vegetarian jokes.
Thanks for giving it a listen. Let me know your thoughts, either down below or in an email.
