Ten-Year Trepidation
Getting ready for a class reunion, Grosse Pointe Blank style.
Tomorrow, Sara and I fly back to Minnesota, for our tour of the midwest. It’s not going to be quite as interesting and heavily-covered as Obama’s tour of the middle east, but we’re hoping that it’ll be close. Ostensibly, it’s a trip back home to see family, friends and attend my 10-Year High School...

Caleb Campbell: The Army's Loss Is The Detroit... →
This action taken by the Army is simply unconcionable. From a football standpoint, way to screw over any chance you’ll ever have at recruiting ANYONE to play for you in the future. From a military standpoint, making someone who could have been a excellent recuiting tool for your institution in the NFL come back and be a grad assistant for the Army football team is just plain retarded.

It's a Class War, Stupid : Matt Taibbi →
I love Matt Taibbi’s writing and this article makes me ashamed to live in this country. Something is seriously fucked up here and no one is doing a damn thing about it. Even if we wanted to do something about it, who could afford the gas it would take to get there?

Pew News IQ →
On average, people get a 50% on this quiz. People in my age group (18-29) get around a 35%. It’s fucking sad. Take the test and let me know how you did. I got 10 out of 12…which I’m pissed about.

It's Friday
For those of you who were uncertain as to the actual day today, that’s just a helpful reminder. I’m here to help. But, it’s not just Friday; the end of the work week, no, it’s also Friday; the day that The Dark Knight finally hits theaters.
While the massive throngs of people flock to the cinaplexes across the nation, I will be headed the other way- to the forest. No...

Bravo Kelly: Now, to me, I always felt that Clark Kent would be just a terrible reporter. I mean, how could he possibly hit deadline, if he's a part of the story?
fargosucks: Fly counter to the earth's rotation, then get on that typewriter
Bravo Kelly: Seems like, if you spin the world on its axis too many times, you're going to screw up our orbit. And who knows how many tragedies that would lead to?
fargosucks: where Superman would catch the earth and save us all. Duh.
Bravo Kelly: Gravity could stop working. We could fly off into the deep parts of the galaxy. I don't care how strong that jackass is, there's no way he'd stop a planet at full momentum, flying off its axis.

Goodbye, Sweet Tooth
Yesterday was the happiest I’ve ever been to see my dentist (aka- whomever is working at the dental office when I finally get around to going back there). I got myself a root canal on the upper-right molar, second from the back. Didn’t get any pain medication afterwards, neither. That’s just how I roll, with impunity for pain. A stupid, short-sighted impunity for pain. It’s...

You Fucking Tooth
Hey! Top right molar, second from the back, I’m talking to you. Knock it off, asshole! I want to eat something that requires me to chew, you piece of shit! The rest of you guys are on notice, too. You should be putting some severe peer pressure on that piece of shit to pipe down so the rest of you can get some action. Spineless bastards.
I have an appointment with my dentist tomorrow and...

This is the culmination of a fun little exercise that a friend of mine is having us do for another blog I contribute to: Go through each year of your life and pick your favorite album from that year.
Here’s what I came up with-

Save for FISA (which I think was more important than this gal does) I utterly agree with this assessment of Obama. People just weren’t listening. I was, and that’s why I liked him. I’m tired of attack politics and people on either side unwilling to budge to make comprimise. If he can do that, it will be wonderful for our nation.

iPhone Debacle
So, I didn’t buy a new iPhone today. I have one in pefectly good working order, thank you. I plan on using it for another year or more, because I want to get my money’s worth.
But, since I wanted the new gadgets that the 2.0 software promised, I downloaded the new version of iTunes and began installing the software on my trusty old iPhone.
But now, when I’m trying to register...

Fucking Iraq War
I just got a message from my little sister, letting me know that her husband, Luke, will be going to Iraq in September.
It should come as no surprise that I’m no big supporter of the war in Iraq, but until now, it really hasn’t been a personal problem. I’ve railed against our policies over there and the unnecessary dead (over 4000, climbing toward 4500) that we’ve...

Lazy Tuesday
Shit: Last night, I didn’t do it.
This may come as a surprise to some (most) of you, but I usually have a full plate of responsibilities and busy-work waiting for me when I get home after a long day of work. But, after getting home last night, playing with the dogs for a little bit and fixing a quick dinner, I realized I didn’t have anything that I had to do. I have to admit, I felt...

Doledrums
That’s where I’m at, people. The ho-hum, dog days of summer. In-between a rash of visits from relatives and a friend’s wedding and our trip back to Minnesota, I’m just kind of coasting along, barely paying any heed to the day or the date. It’s not that bad of a place to be, all things considered.
What sucks is that I want to be motivated to do things, anythings,...
