  • Crazy, Delicious

    Crazy, Delicious

    I just made some great chicken for dinner. It was delicious.

    Then, I ate alone and it wasn’t weird at all.

    When I eat alone, I can eat how I want. Not that I don’t eat the way I want when nomming in a group, but when chomping solo, the napkin becomes optional. I’ll change the channel on the TV using the tiny knuckle of my pinky finger because my hands are covered in bar-be-que sauce. (more…)

  • Happy Birthday Horton

    Happy Birthday Horton

    Today is my dog’s first birthday. He doesn’t really know that today is any different than any other day, except for the cupcake I made for him.

    I don’t really like baking and I’m guessing that if he were to have a real cupcake there would be severe consequences to clean up later.

  • The iPad Story

    The iPad Story

    I am currently sitting on the couch in the living room. My computer is upstairs, but I am still able to update my website.

    How?

    Because I have an iPad.

  • Time to Get Up!

    A recent viral video depicted a young girl affirming herself that life is wonderful while wearing her pajamas in front of a bathroom mirror. Even I, with a heart of stone, can attest to the overall cuteness of this video.

    So, below I’ve listed the five things that get me out of bed in the morning. These have changed somewhat over the years from cartoons to work, but are important nonetheless.

  • No Pictures, Please

    A main feature of the annual celebration of America’s birthday, aside from the Bar-be-ques and cold beverages, are fireworks shows.

    Countless counties across the country (yes, I wrote it like that on purpose) host some sort of festival or carnival with at least one night culminating in red glare from rockets. Fireworks don’t excite patriotism in me. I don’t loathe them by any stretch, but I’m not sore if I miss one or two. However, even if I manage to blink my eyes for a moment and don’t see the one that looks like a waterfall, I can rest assured knowing someone has tried to take a picture of the firework.

  • Don’t Fight This Fire

    Each year as summer swings into full effect, weekends become rampant with the pungent smell of burning tree stuff.

  • The Champions of Breakfast

    There are just some things that every guy should do.

    If a car breaks down, regard­less of the man’s per­sonal knowl­edge of mechan­ics, he should pop open the hood and take a look inside. The same goes for a pass­ing knowl­edge of spe­cific ath­letic events, includ­ing curl­ing, but above all else, mak­ing breakfast. (more…)

  • Share in the Dream

    “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true mean­ing of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,’” said Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his speech that immor­tal­ized the ral­ly­ing cry of the civil rights move­ment and fur­ther pow­ered the wheels of progress.

  • Starting a New Trend, As We Speak

    We have a developed into a society in a hurry. We’ve created ways to connect and share in nearly live and seamless fashion. We demand high transfer rates both from technology and from human beings.

    But, there is a gaping hole where transfer speed and the description of that speed in a timely manner has been ignored or neglected.

    Either that, or I’m so fast I’m actually seeing into the future. (more…)
