My Mom A reader commented on another post of mine saying, “how am i supposed to read when it is now password protected and there is no directions on how to get a password?” So I thought I’d shed some light on the feature of my blogging site that I haven’t really used before –…
Like Johnny Cash, All Black
This past week of my life went by pretty slowly, and enjoyably. The university I work for (and several of my friends still attend) was on Spring Break last week. I still had to work, but it was considerably easier with the students gone. It really felt like I was on my own Spring Break,…
Music and Memories Flow
It’s amazing how you can be standing somewhere in a lobby and a song comes out over the PA system, and suddenly it’s like you never forgot the words at all. You remember the sunny summer afternoon with the windows in the car rolled down and you remember drumming on the steering wheel and singing…
The Raging Tech on Vantage Point
Last night some friends and I took opportunity to go to the local theatre and see the film Vantage Point, a film told in five perspectives about the supposed attempted assassination of the President of the United States of America while at a summit in Spain. The film stars Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitaker, Matthew Fox,…
Combo Update
Since it’s been a while since I’ve written about why my life is so crazy lately, I thought I’d give a quick combo update on the last week or so of my life: I had a job interview. I thought it went okay. Others thought differently. To sum it up, I’m positive I didn’t get…
Weekend Update
Last night was a little crazy. I got off work around five o’clock and headed home. After a quick errand, my roommate and I picked up more of our friends and we drove to a nearby town for some good old Huddle House food. I wolfed down my food anxiously, and then paid my bill…

Rumors: Posh Spice May Have Had Liposuction
I was reading on the internet today about how Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has appeared in several photos recently that have ignited rumors that she may have undergone the plastic surgery treatment known as liposuction. I know, a celebrity having liposuction – big surprise there. But I’ll tell you what does surprise me. Posh Spice…
A Terminal Case of the Mondays
So yesterday, hanging out with friends and gaming lasted until about 11:30pm. Which is crazy, because we started around 4:30pm. That’s more time than I’ve ever wanted to spend in a library. That’s almost like a work day. But it sure was fun. After the games, I stopped by and hung out with my friends…
Being a Man: Ride to Destruction
Before you get up in my face with the name-calling and chauvinist comments, I’m in no way saying that women don’t enjoy danger and nearly killing themselves doing stupidly awesome things. I do know that there is some primal part of me that gets excited thinking about jumping off of stuff and blowing things up.…
