Beware The Magic Fuzzle

Black Friday, as it is so affectionately referred to, has become somewhat of a tradition among me and a few friends.  It started out two years ago with us just wanting to buy some cheap DVDs, and we had so much fun running around town at 5:00 AM that we decided that we simply had [...]

Giving Thanks For The Really Important Stuff

Another Thanksgiving is here, and that means a few things.  First, it means it’s time for me to eat way too much food for an entire weekend.  It means that I’ll be out shopping with my posse Friday morning for the third consecutive year.  (Side note: Our Black Friday shopping isn’t as much about the [...]

Guess What I Like To Do With My Thumbs

Ew, not that.  I like to judge things with them.  Some things deserve to be recognized, be it positively or negatively.  I figure, hell, I’ve got time.  I can talk about some stuff.  Since I’m feeling frisky, I’ll go back and forth between the good and the bad.
Thumbs up to Netflix for their instant online [...]

Killing Time With The Flu

So today I took a sick day from work.  But before you ask if I’m feeling okay, allow me to reiterate: I never said I was sick, I said I took a sick day.  Ha, just kidding.  Or am I?   The world may never know!  In any case, taking a day off from work can [...]

My Palms Are Sweaty

I am officially nervous. Why?  A few reasons.
First, I am nervous about the health of the Tar Heels basketball squad.  Let’s start with Tyler Hansbrough.  He has been struggling with a shin injury as of late, and between how much he tends to get beat up during a game and his importance to the team, [...]

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Usually when I leave work on Friday, I am giddy at the thought of the weekend, but this past Friday, I left work mildly ticked off.  Just as I was getting ready to hit the door, a co-worker asked me if I had hockey tickets, to which I replied by telling him that I really [...]

Making A List, Checking It Twice

Ahh the holiday season.  This is without question my favorite time of the year, and now that I am getting older, it’s becoming less about the presents and more about family and getting paid time off from work for a couple days.  But then again, it’s still slightly about the presents.  Since I consider you [...]

Checking My Work

Well we’re half way through the NFL regular season, and I think it’s time we looked at how some of my preseason predictions are panning out.  In case you missed it, I did a double post of these predictions that can be found here (NFC) and here (AFC).
You don’t have to be a genius to [...]

More Of My Favorites

With all that’s going wrong in the world today, sometimes we lose sight of the things that are most important to us.  Every once in a while, we all just need that little reminder to stop and smell the roses and appreciate what we have rather than dwell on what we do not.  Every so [...]
