Brandon fixed the treadmill a few weeks ago. It’s been broken since about this time last year, so I had a few somewhat reasonable excuse not to run…. “it’s too dark when I get home” or “it’s too cold in the morning.” Since he fixed it, though, my only excuse was the one that the […]

After about 8 Diet Cokes this evening, my brain can’t turn off. Since I can’t sleep, I figured it was probably time to catch up on the blog. In my defense, I haven’t been able to log into my own blog for the past month or so… stupid technical glitch that Brandon just showed me […]

Today is my favorite holiday of the whole entire year – National Talk Like a Pirate Day. But instead of posting all my favorite pirate jokes, my “ARRRRRR” this year is not to celebrate the vocal genius of the pirate – it’s in frustration for the ridiculous fiasco I just went through to get gas. […]

There’s a Nine Inch Nails song that was covered by Johnny Cash called “Hurt.” I couldn’t tell you who originally wrote it, if it was NIN or someone else, but that fact is irrelevant. What is relevant this evening is the first line of the song – “I hurt myself today/to see if I still […]

So life has been hectic & somehow almost 2 months have elapsed without any blogging from me. A short run-down of what’s transpired recently, in no apparent order: Lasik was successful. Seeing at or around 20/20. I was 20/15 before the surgery, but can’t tell that much of a difference. I can see. That’s all that […]

If you haven’t heard about this already, listen to the following 911 call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhtRr4vwo6Q Let me know your thoughts…. in my opinion, Mr. Horn is quite the badass, and took care of business. I’m sure fewer homes would get broken into if there were more Joe Horns out there. In my neighborhood, this would never happen, […]

Long live the 80s! Any child of the 80s can recall fond memories of watching the Smurfs. Those were the days… watching and learning from Papa Smurf with his red outfit, Vanity Smurf with his mirror, Handy Smurf with his hammer… oh, the list goes on and on. Who hasn’t wondered at some point about Smurfette […]

So I’m wandering through my house tonight, on my way downstairs with a basket full of laundry, when I notice odd things happening outside. Like flashing lights and some dude prowling around my neighbor’s yard with a flashlight. The lights were reflecting off the house around the side of the house, so I couldn’t tell if it […]

We went to see the new Indiana Jones movie yesterday. Like the rest of Gen X (and most of the Baby Boomers, too), I was thoroughly excited to go watch this movie. The first three movies (and the Nintendo game) were staples of my childhood, and I’ve watched the Indiana Jones stunt show at DisneyWorld […]
