I should have been a writer…

Recently a friend of mine posted a scanned copy of our 6th grade class newsletter. I was tagged in the image and when I looked at it I saw that there was a short story that I had written about a Russian named Vladimir and a really large donut the size of a sheet cake.
Wow, [...]

How Does Your Garden Grow?

When parents have their first child they look at it as a bundle of joy filled with wonder and potential. To them it is perfection, however, they forget that even Charles Manson, Hitler and Bin Laden started out as sweet babies.
We are born as gardens filled with a variety of seeds that spring up and [...]

“Finally, social solidarity is NOT ’socialism’. Drop the infantilism, conservatives.”

The title of this post is from the husband of a very popular mommy blogger. I love both of these people and this isn’t a “hate” post or anything like that, it is rather a post about how people that are passionate about their ideas often feel that the opposing party is being a baby [...]

Something is Up

The dream sequence started differently. I mean, I was there and then suddenly I was grabbed by this girl that I knew and she started kissing me. It caught me off gaurd and I fell down. She fell with me her tongue locked in my cheek and me wondering if she was going to cut [...]

The Other Half is Actually a Third

“You know the problem… I’m going to tell you the problem…” insert sigh here from my new friend who I only partied with once before, “It’s just that all of our friends have kids and we just aren’t there yet, you know?”
I was sort of taken aback at this point. Imagine me in a kitchen, [...]

So What

What’s it like not being a Christian? What is it like not having any faith? What could possibly motivate you to continue on this planet if you think there is absolutely no purpose for our existence?
Lately I’m all “So What” all the time. I sit on my couch and as much as I know my [...]

I can’t keep up with the trends, the SEO marketing gurus, the celebrities of the blogtwitfacebookflickrverse. There is just an overload of information. Everyone is pushing their product, the latest social network, the coolest gadget, movie, ringtone, digital download, web design, and the exhausting list goes on and on…
Instead, I’m going back to pushing the [...]

Vintage Eddo

 

These are just a few pics from my life when I was a leader at the Hangar. As you can see, I used to have hair and I was much thinner… but those kids will put weight on you cause they always want to eat at Taco Bell! I’m talking to you Nando Betancur!

My World is a Snow Globe

It’s only pretty when someone is shaking it up. 
As I watch the pieces of my life swirl around me I’m reminded that I like it like this. In the last few days I have found a new volume of laughter that was before untapped. I’ve enjoyed quiet moments just listening to the silence and allowing [...]

Reunions and Turkey

I’d filled my mouth more times on Thursday than should be humanly possible, however, it wasn’t my best Thanksgicing Day showing. I didn’t eat any dessert on Thanksgiving Day other than a single chocolate chip cookie.  I also went to three Thanksgiving’s on Thursday but I didn’t eat as much as I have in Thanksgiving’s [...]

Trick or Treat?

Trick or Treat
Smell My Feet
Give me something good to eat.
If you don’t, I don’t care
I’ll stick an apple down your underwear.
When I was really young I went trick or treating one time. I was batman and I had one of those hideous plastic masks that you strapped to your face with a piece of elastic [...]

Celebrity Couples

Look at John’s family, it makes me want to punch him in the mouf for being so lucky.

The Arquette’s aren’t nearly as pretty as John and Alison pictured above, but I’ve always had a crush on Monica from Friends – even though in this picture she looks a little mousy.

Okay, Dean and Tori are a [...]
