This weekend I’m going with a friend halfway across the state to help his sister move across town. It’s a long story. But the neat part is, we’re leaving tonight, will stay in a hotel when we get there, move her tomorrow, then go hang out and stop at the hotel we stayed at back…
How Do You Put Away Savings?
In this era, you just can’t rely on social security for retirement. Also, when you’re my age, you might be thinking about the future: marriage, a house, kids, kids’ college funds, vacation money, hire a hitman for the in-laws money, etc. Or maybe you’re just thinking about how to get out of debt. Recently, I…
Rock the Vote: Presidential Primaries Tomorrow
Tomorrow millions of Americans will get up off their lazy humps and decide on their party’s presidential candidate. One of the biggest noise-makers this year is the competition between Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton. It’s been a trash-talking, mud-slinging campaign, but it’s important that you go out and vote tomorrow for the primaries. It’s…
My Favorite Pants
My favorite pair of pants is awesome for several reasons: They’re bondage pants – meaning they have straps and chains that go to various hooks and holes all around the pants, giving me endless configuration options, or the option to remove them completely. They have huge pockets that don’t bulge when I carry stuff. They’re…
Money Money Money Money… MON-AY
Pay day is both happy and sad for me. I got paid on Wednesday this week. Since my paydays only come once a month, you can imagine how anxious it can make me to wait on it when I’m broke. The reason it’s sad is because that’s also the day I usually pay all my…

Hot Date: Olive Garden and Baby Mama
Last night I had a hot date with my girl. I showed up at her place and I was dressed up to try and look good for her, but it was pretty irrelevant next to the sight I saw when she opened the front door. She was gorgeous! She wore this little black dress she…

The Rage You’ve Been Missing
So it was mentioned that I don’t do a lot of raging on here about crazy incidents with customers. I’ll give you a good one that’s been happening a lot lately: Our university went with Windows Live Mail to outsource our student e-mail service last semester. Students were given until April 15th when the server…
Got a Case of the Mondays? Tell Me About It!
Monday mornings are never fun. I can’t remember once waking up at my usual 6:42 a.m., rolling over and instead of hitting the snooze button saying “I’m so excited it’s Monday!” (at least on a work day, anyway). I know I’m excited on Mondays that fall on holidays or vacation days. What is it about…
