Short Story
So I’ve decided to start working on the outline to a short story that I’ve been thinking about for quite some time. I haven’t written anything but this blog and the occasionally poem for quite some time, excluding the body copy for a few marketing materials, and I think that it’s time that I try another stab at the world of fiction. The basic plot, as I have it in my head,...

New Outfit
You may have noticed that I have finally decided to edit the HTML of my template and post some links to thing that I like right next to this post. FUN! Something Clever Creative Services and Stupid White Boy Media are not fully operational, but should be by the weekend. The first one is Sara’s new freelancing company. She’s quitting her job to go out on her own; designing and...

Who Am I?
I contend that I have never been wrong. Sure, I’ve been proven wrong, but those were all flukes and anyway, it’s all in how you look at it. The way that I look at it, I’ve never been wrong. Truth is subjective. You see, it’s all about creating an alternate reality for yourself, one in which you’re the center of everything, including all knowledge. Just like that, BAM,...

Weekly Blurb
So I just spent the last seven hours working on templates for our Miami show. I can’t get into sepcifics, because this is a business, after all, but sufficed to say, I don’t like Miami right now. Not one bit. In fact, I don’t think that I ever want to go there. But enough of my bitching, it’s time to do some blurbs. Verizon V-Cast Phones: Insufferable Assholes- If...

Hedonistic Pleasure-Dome
Yeah, not really. We went to a friend’s 30th birthday party on Saturday night. There was pizza and drinking and beer and drinking it was fun and all until… we were dragged to a “theme” bar. if you’ve ever seen the movie “Coyote Ugly” (I haven’t, but this is what I’ve been told), it’s pretty much like that except the bartenders are...

It's a Fucking Cartoon!
People are upset. Not just any people, either. These particular people in question have a tendency to overreact, in my opinion, to the smallest thing. They have forgetten how to laugh, and that is a scary scary thing. Once you forget how to laugh at yourself, you tend to take things waaaaaay too seriously. When this happens, people can get hurt. In fact, people are getting hurt. They’re not...

Blurb Blog
I have the tendency to ramble. I go off on a topic that gets me all heated and I rant for paragraph after paragraph. This tendency comes to the forefront when I blog. So, in an effort to both curb my rants and tackle more topics in the course of this blog, I’m going to shorten everything I talk about today to blurbs. Dick Cheney: Quailgate- was he drunk? why didn’t he tell us about the...

Death
A childhood friend of mine died this past week. Truthfully, I don’t really know how to feel. You see, I hadn’t really talked to him in almost six years. Before that, we hadn’t been really that close since we were kids. So it’s weird. It’s a shock that someone that I’ve known since I was a small child has died, but at the same time, how much of an effect does it...

...I farted.
Under normal circumstances, I’d never dream of grossing people out by talking about my own flatulence, but this time I’ll make an exception. Trust me, it’s worth it. Going back to the Jeff Tweedy concert post that i wrote the other night, I realized that I omitted something. I farted. I’m not usually so proud of it, honest. It was during the first encore that two annoyingly...

Title Track
Jeff Tweedy wants you to be quiet. In fact, he wants you to shut the hell up. Not only that, he’s going to tell you all about it. He’s going to lecture you like you’re a child in front of an entire audience of people that came to listen to him play music. He doesn’t care, though. He’s going to get his point across whether you like it or not. Even if it means putting...

Idiocy in Uniform
Two recent sports stories have brought it my attention that I never really tackle this large part of my life on this blog. I love sports. I love competition and the challenge that playing a certain sport against another person or another team brings. In short, I like athletic competition. But, as with most everything that involves more than one person, most of it tends to get blown way out of...
