Once upon a time, I was living in a small city known as Bluefield. Now, it's easy to get confused as to where that may be. See, there are two Bluefields. And they exist side by side. On the Virginia side of the border, we have the town of Bluefield, home to Bluefield College, my … Continue reading Colonial Times

The Two for One Special
Believe it or not, there was once a time when I liked chocolate. Now, I've never really had an overactive sweet tooth. More often than not, Halloween candy would sit in my closet to be thrown away a few weeks later the next year (like I ever cleaned out my closet). But I did enjoy … Continue reading The Two for One Special
The Good Old Days
Is there anyone out there like me? I'm sure there's not. I'm kind of unique. I mean, I know I have a doppelganger out there. I've met him. Looks just like me. It's off-putting. But our personalities are extremely different. In this instance, I'm wondering if anyone is like me in the sense that we … Continue reading The Good Old Days
Hey, Remember the Lite-Brite?
I used to have a Lite-Brite. I loved that thing. It's one of those toys that inspired a creative spark in my childhood. Though, if I were to be completely honest, I was never all that creative with it. They sold all those pages with designs printed on them. They were those thick pieces of … Continue reading Hey, Remember the Lite-Brite?
The Three Rivers Crowd
Kids, I'm gonna tell you the absolutely true story of how I went to Pittsburgh for dinner. But to get the whole story, we have to go back to the year 2004. It was a night like any other. Back in those days, I was living in Bluefield. It was after I had graduated from … Continue reading The Three Rivers Crowd
The Single Guy vs. The Ninja Turtle
The following tale is based on actual events which occurred several years ago... Over the last few days, I've posted some fairly serious content here. While it's not necessarily out of character for me to post something that's of a serious nature, it is a bit odd that I've done it for several consecutive days. … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. The Ninja Turtle
So Awkward…
I came across this picture on a friend's blog some time ago and it reminded me of a story that I don't think I've ever told here before. Are you ready? 'Cause it's a good one. Back in the day, I was working closely with the youth group at North Roanoke Baptist. The summer after … Continue reading So Awkward…
The Single Guy Talks About the Weather
The following is based on actual events which occurred a number of years ago... He knew it was a mistake as soon as he opened his mouth to speak. But by then it was already too late. The path from his brain to his lips was far too short a distance and before he could … Continue reading The Single Guy Talks About the Weather
The Single Guy and the Spider-Girl
The following is based on actual events which occurred a number of years ago... The Single Guy got to a point where he just didn't like sharing about the women that frequented the bank where he worked. This was mostly because it never really got him anywhere. Let's take a look at the previous examples: … Continue reading The Single Guy and the Spider-Girl
Things to Say When You Want to Get Punched in the Face
I've sort of been sitting on this one for a while. Actually, it's been years since I decided that it would make for a good blog post. I had initially planned to compile a list of the top ten things to say if you wanted to be punched in the face. I haven't been successful … Continue reading Things to Say When You Want to Get Punched in the Face
