There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
Today I noticed that Hip-Hop and Country music have more in common than you might think. What they have in common is this: The subject matter has a tendency to boil down to the singer ranting on and on about just how hip-hop or country they really are.
It should also be noted that [...]
I’m big on making up my own meaning to songs. Especially the cryptic ones. In fact, I think I tend to be drawn to songs whose lyrics are pretty nonsensical on the surface. This is because I’ll usually make up the subject matter or story in my head. Who cares [...]
Today I played paintball for the first time. Paintball is the ultimate guy bonding activity. It’s also the ultimate time to reinforce just how dead we would all be in a real combat situation. As for me, I would have been sent home with a purple heart within the first 2 [...]
In keeping with my pack rat tendencies, I keep just about every drawing I do. It’s helpful when I’m feeling like I’m in a rut because I can go back a year or two and see how much I’ve improved. It’s always fun to go back and see what I was drawing when [...]
I went and worked out this evening. I’m tired. But I have a paper to write for class. So why am I on here blogging?
Because my favorite hobby is procrastinating. I’m good at it and I tend to play to my strengths. I went to Wendy’s and got a [...]
I’m a lazy fisherman. Which, when you get right down to it, is how it should be. Unless you’re fishing for food, in which case you might need to take up another hobby…like figuring out why you don’t have access to a grocery store. As much as I love fishing, though, [...]
I am learning that I am suspicious of cats.
I mean, when you walk through a room…and there’s your cat, sitting in the middle of the floor not doing anything but looking at you, it’s a safe bet that she’s either just finished doing something she’s not supposed to, or getting ready to do something else [...]
We used to have a hamper. For a long time, I enjoyed the simplicity of a specific thing whose role was to catch all the dirty clothes. Unfortunately, thanks to my cat, the wicker hamper met its fate far too early. It was then that we switched to the confusing method of [...]
There should be morally handicapped parking spots for non-handicapped people who park in handicapped spots. This way everybody’s happy. The handicapped get their spots, the morally handicapped are close to the door and everyone else can throw eggs at them.
I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the dresser.
“Crap, I never get to fly on the plane.”
These were the first words to cross my mind today.
I’ve said before that I don’t have recurring dreams. I have recurring themes. One that has started recently involves taking a trip with [...]
Nature is attempting to retake the land upon which my house sits. The grass, ever growing, seeks to engulf any sense of order and replace it with chaos. The gutters have been mockingly used as breeding ground for treefrogs, who endeavor to infest the land with their screaming, screeching, and croaking. [...]
Now that the holiday weekend is in the rear view mirror, let’s see what I did with my time? Interested? No? TOO BAD! Let’s go!
Friday night I showed up at Danny’s house around 8:00, Xbox in tow, for some semi-regularly scheduled virtual meyhem via the wonder of Halo. For [...]
Yesterday Sarah and I tried playing tennis. I have to admit, I’m much better than I was when I was in high school. I’m still not a good player, but at least I don’t hit it over the fence much anymore.
Much.
After an hour of playing in the [...]
So I’ve said before that I feel the quality of my blog has suffered for the last few months. And I think it’s because I’m not reading as much as I was before I quit my job. The sudden change in my life kind of left me out of a routine (and subsequent [...]
