It is I

One of my favorite bloggers B from Dreaming In The Dark tagged me for this meme…and I must admit, I suck at these things and suck at following through. However, I had a chunk of time before I had to venture off to the races so I wrote this and shot with both barrels. This [...]

What Is The Deal With Chad Muska

My friends and I were in love with this skater named Chad Muska. No, not like “love” love, we just were infatuated with him. Looking back on it, I’m not sure why. I think it could have been that we were stuck in a small apartment for a whole summer, with the blinds closed playing [...]

Bread Machine Hell

As you guys already know, I went to a yard sale last weekend. It was huge, and one thing that I forgot to mention was that my wife and I purchased a bread maker. The owners said that they never used it, and sold it to us for $20. We thought that was a great [...]

Decline of Video Game Interest

What in the world happened to me?
