A few weeks ago, I saw something I must have. It’s a bacon wallet.

Now, I don’t eat bacon, but this is so ridiculous that I need it. Plus, my wallet is in rough shape. I found it in the street about 8 years ago or so, and it’s just falling apart.
But unfortunately, the bacon wallet [...]

Last night I had some plans, but they fell through. So I found myself sitting on the couch flipping through the channels until I landed on American Idol. I think I lasted five minutes before I absolutely had to change the channel.

Gmail is a funny thing.
I’ve been using it for a long time, and have a first.last@gmail.com type of address. It seems that quite a few people have the same name as I do (or something reasonably close), so I’ve received several errant messages. I’ve been getting pictures of Jean’s baby, though I have no idea [...]

Friends Evan and Andrea are now proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. She was born on Thursday morning at 3:09 am. I was lucky enough to be able to visit them at the hospital on Friday afternoon, and spent more time with the three McIntires on Sunday to watch the Pats game. I’d have [...]

Comments can be a great thing on a blog.
Months ago I wrote a post about the song “Homegirl You’re Wicked Awesome,” which I’d heard at Jake Ivory’s. I couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere, nor could I find an mp3 of the song. No matter where I searched, I came up empty handed.
Until very recently. Here’s [...]

I don’t have 100% proof that the same guy did [...]

This week is just not going well. I don’t want to spend too much time whining here, but the way things are going, I’m fully expecting to get kicked in the nuts by an old lady while helping her cross the street. It’s just the way this week is going.
And the timing is awful. Tomorrow [...]

Things weren’t going right.
When I woke up yesterday, I was lethargic and foggy. Waking up at 4:30 am was not how I wanted to start the day I’ve been looking forward to all year.
You see, last night was the National Championship Game between my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes and the underdog Florida Gators. Ohio State [...]

Living alone has its own unique benefits and pitfalls.  One of the benefits I’ve noticed is that you really do learn a lot about yourself. For instance, if you always thought it was your roommates that were messy and that you were the clean one, you might be surprised to know that the stack of [...]

What a title, huh?
On New Year’s Eve I was at a party, and someone had one of those “If….?” books, and was asking questions. One of the questions was along the line of “Who is the smartest person you ever met?”
My answer came immediately.
Back in 2000, while still in college, I worked for over a [...]
