My work schedule for this month has been kind of crazy, but good. Coming in late, working late, going home late, staying up late, then sleeping in late. The day winds down a lot after 5pm, and I saw this video of dolphins blowing bubbles and playing with them. The video is posted at SeaWorld’s…
Unusual Holiday Gift Idea: Cryo-Cell Gift Certificate
The holiday season is fast approaching, many people shopped early and already have their Christmas shopping done, and most of us are waiting till the last minute to figure out what to get everyone. If you’re looking for something unusual or special to give to someone who is expecting a new baby, there’s a really…
Vampire Mode: Activate
It’s that time of year again – it’s starting to get chillier during the day and freezing cold at night. The leaves are turning colors, and the jerks from Florida are up in the mountains driving 10 under so they can look at the foliage. Shorts are becoming more and more inappropriate apparel for the…
Geeks Need Exercise, Too
In the technology sector where I work, it’s pretty common for people to forget to exercise. You live and breath computers and are stuck in front of a desk all day, and then go home at night and cook dinner, manage home things like cleaning or chores, and then all you want to do is…
My First Haircut Since February
My hair was starting to get long and shaggy, it’s not accurately represented by the left photo, that was just the best one I could find. I decided finally last night that it was about time to have it cut again. It’s amazing how refreshing it is to have your hair so short after letting…
Alzheimer’s Hurts More than Alzheimer’s Patients
My great grandpa had Alzheimer’s disease – the most commonly known symptom of which is recent memory loss. A lot of times an Alzheimer’s patient can remember 50 years ago like it was yesterday (and sometimes they think it is yesterday), but yesterday is just a blurry memory. It can be very simple at first,…
Oh Quizmasters, You’ve Never Been More Wrong
It is my firm belief that the following test is skewed, and does not properly account for computer geeks or gamers, who have an unbelievable practiced speed-click ability with a computer mouse. This seems like an entirely silly way to determine someone’s caffeination levels. If you want a truly scientific method, test your blood. The…
Tired of the Roller Coaster
If you were able to keep riding on the same violent roller coaster over and over again, eventually you’d want to take a break just to get your equilibrium back, even if by then the fear had temporarily subsided. That’s how I feel. My fear of losing my dad has (I’ll give you that it’s…
I Try to Find the Humor in Everything
My dad has been in off-and-on declining physical health since I was a little kid. He dealt with depression and some other things when I was in middle school. Around sophomore year of high school, he got into a car accident and had to go to the hospital. While he was there they gave him…
Coming Out of My Shell
In the spirit of “Coming Out of My Shell,” I’m posting this rare video of me, telling you about an embarassing moment. And when is this embarassing moment, you might ask? It’s from JUNIOR HIGH. You know you all just shuddered a little. Junior high: one of the most awkward times of anyone’s life. Watch…
