There are a lot of things on my mind these days. My priorities seem to shift throughout the day. My hot water pipe seems to have frozen entirely so that no hot water passes through my house. I fear that until the weather warms up it may not unfreeze. I left water running slightly, but…
Get Off Your Butt and Go Outside!
Yes, I know it’s ridiculously cold outside where some of you live. It’s 19 degrees outside right now where I live. Plus, it’s a week day, so you’re probably at work. But guess what lazies? Tomorrow is Saturday. That means you can go outside then. We forget a lot in the winter time to actually…
Fight Club Actors Sing About the Best Part of Being a Man
So, I know I don’t normally post anything off-color here (yeah, we save the good stuff for Facebook and MySpace), but I was scrolling through my bookmarks and saw this video bookmarked. It was awful, so I looked for it on YouTube and found a better one. So here goes – Edward Norton and Brad…
Timeless Passtime: Pool (Billiards, If You’re Fancy)
When I was a little kid, I thought playing pool was bad because they served alcohol and people drank at pool halls. I also knew that people gambled on pool and lost a lot of money, etc. My mom taught me one day at Waldo’s Beach how to play plain old 8-ball. It was later…
Entrepreneurs: Take Time Out with Loved Ones
I’ve written before about the “New Economy” – what we should be valuing nowadays is more time for ourselves and with our family, rather than more possessions. Possessions are nice; don’t get me wrong. But even when I was making lowly pay as a manager at a certain Big Blue Video Rental Corporation, my time…
The Super Bowl of Rodeo
During the first week of this past December, the University of Nevada – Las Vegas held the annual National Finals Rodeo which is the main event or “the Big Show” for rodeo in the United States. You may not be all that into rodeo, but if you’re like me you tune in to the major…
Futurama is Dead: Long Live Futurama!
As many of you may be sad to note, the heavily-syndicated cartoon Futurama has ended its run on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim time slot, due to the running out of their contract. This saddened me and many of my friends who loved Futurama. I only saw a few episodes in it’s original run, but it…
Protect and Organize Your Inventory
So along your entrepreneurial path, you’ve decided to go into retail, which means you’ll be bearing the burden of inventory. Most people think of the risk involved in holding inventory is based on whether or not the item sells. Too often, security ends up being more of an afterthought. When you start losing inventory to…
Now: Sunny, 9 Degrees Farenheit
I just looked down at my ForecastFox Firefox extension, and it says just that, “Now: Sunny, 9 Degrees F.” It’s 9, people! 9! I’m not from the North, nor am I originally from the mountains. When I left my parents’ house on Monday, it was 20 degrees warmer there at around 60 F, so about…
Snow Day: Last Day of Vacation
Today is the last day of my vacation from my day job. I took an extra day off after the holiday to give me a day to recuperate from my vacation. It seems like a silly notion at first, but haven’t you ever returned from a vacation only to need some more time to relax…
