The human body is certainly a magnificent specimen. It can adapt to an infinite number of circumstances throughout one’s life. It is my belief that we can train our bodies to do almost anything. For example, when I was about 12 years old, my mom started running a daycare center out of our house. She [...]

February 23, 2009Things I’m Sick Of
February 19, 2009- A-Rod, A-Roid, A-Fraud, Gay-Rod, or whatever else you call him. I’m sick of hearing about Alex Rodriguez. I’m sick of SportsCenter being 33 minutes of A-Rod coverage followed by everything else current in sports crammed into the other 12 minutes. It’s really getting sickening and although my ESPN boycott was recently lifted, it has [...]
The Third In A Series
February 17, 2009Well, I think it’s been long enough. I think it’s time for another session of my letters to inanimate objects. No fluff today, let’s just get into it.
Dear Microwave,
We’ve got a good thing going on, you and I. I enjoy that you cook my Lean Pockets in a timely manner, being oh-so careful not to [...]
Grocery Store Groovin’
February 15, 2009I know I’ve mentioned it before, but it bears repeating: I love grocery shopping. Don’t know why, just do. Maybe it’s the joy of walking around a store and buying literally anything I feel like buying for no reason at all. If I feel like buying nine boxes of Sour Blast Gushers, then damn it, [...]
Happy Blogoversary To Me!
February 13, 2009Exactly one year ago to the day, one foolish, sarcastic, moderately educated man set out on a mission. A mission to tell the world (more like seven people) what he thinks about stuff. A mission to share with complete strangers the inner-most thoughts he has on a day to day basis. A mission to … [...]
2 Minute Drill, 10 Style
February 12, 2009A few quick hits leading into the weekend.
- The closed-mouth theory has officially gone through on my promotion. I signed my offer letter yesterday and I’ll be shipping out for two one-week training sessions in March. For the first week of March, I’ll be in Minneapolis, which is just fine by my standards. I’ve been [...]
Embarrassing Things About Me
February 12, 2009All our lives, we’ve had certain ideas drilled into our heads about the ultimate dichotomy: success and failure. We’ve been taught since an early age by expressions like “failure is not an option,” and “just win, baby.” So often, people forget about expressions like “you win some, you lose some,” and “whatever doesn’t kill you [...]
I Am No Longer The Universe’s Bitch
February 8, 2009I’m generally not a superstitious person. I don’t throw salt over my shoulder, I don’t carry a rabbit’s foot, and I don’t knock on wood unless that wood has been formed into a door and there is someone on the other side of that door I want to be in contact with. But, the few [...]
I’m Super, Thanks For Asking
February 3, 2009So I know I’m a couple days behind on this and pretty much everyone in my blogroll has already pitched in their two cents, but I’ve got some post-Super Bowl thoughts, and damn it, I wanna share them with the world.
- First, I have nothing to say about the pregame as I was busy running [...]
