My wildest vacation was not wild as you suppose. I didn’t get drunk or go party in the city night life. I did, however, see a whole lot of culture on my stay in the Windy City – Chicago, Illinois. Chicago is, as many of you know, the site of most scenes from the Blues…
You Can Sell Almost Anything on eBay
Did someone you know recently die? Funerals are expensive, and so are coffins. But in today’s buy-everything-on-the-internet tradition, you can absolutely find it on eBay. I first got this idea when my uncle died a few years ago. I was trying to bring some levity to give people a chance to laugh. We all missed…
What if your car kept doing this?
Wouldn’t it be awful if your car kept doing this? I know it’d be pretty cool the first couple of times, but after that, it’d probably just be plain annoying. I like how this resembles the internet video from a while back where the cars would transform, but it was an intended function of the…
Human Rights Violations in China
Hi. Did you know that me, being able to sit here and write whatever I want, and you, being able to sit there and read it, is a freedom? I’m sure most of you know that already, because you’ve sat through History class and you know about our various freedoms from the Bill of Rights.…
Caffeinated ENGOBI Guitar Hero Battle Contest
Do you rock daily with Aerosmith, Guns ‘n Roses, Ozzy, Coheed and Cambria? When someone asks if you play the six-string, do you say, “No, I play the five buttons.” Do you relentlessly air guitar to EVERY song you hear EVER, including hymns at church? Do you try to imagine what color the notes will…

Crazy Cross-State Trips are Awesome
Last weekend I went with a friend half-way across the state to help him move his sister out of her apartment and into a new one, due to some domestic problems with her boyfriend. Friday night, we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, and then Saturday we moved her and that night stayed at an…
Renuzit TriScents Home Makeover Semi-Finalists
In my bathroom at home, I have the cheaply priced 97-cent screw-top Renuzit air freshener, and I must say, they’re a lot more effective than candles or spraying, and they don’t overwhelm. Renuzit is having a contest where participants are instructed to upload a video explaining why they feel like they deserve a Home Makeover…

Warning: Crazy Weekend Ahead
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…
