Please, somebody, tell me that this is not a real product... Can I take a minute to make an observation or two? First of all, the dude drinking coffee in the car... How long have you been drinking beverages? Have you always had that much trouble? I could understand spilling that much coffee if you … Continue reading The Slobstopper
Could I Be Anymore Sarcastic?
Bachelor in Paradise: An Observation
Until recently, I'd never even considered watching anything related to the "reality" show, The Bachelor. But a friend has spoken highly of the show and, I'll admit, I was intrigued. Does that mean that I caught up on every episode that Hulu had to offer? Absolutely not. I wasn't that intrigued. But over the Labor … Continue reading Bachelor in Paradise: An Observation
The Single Guy vs. The Friend Request
"Mr. Peck!" yelled the teacher from her office as I was sitting down to type up some paperwork. "You should go onto Facebook and add my nephew's wife's sister as a friend!" Translation: "You're single, and therefore lonely and miserable, right? Well, I vaguely know someone who is also single and of reasonable child-birthing age. … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. The Friend Request
It’s My Blog and I’ll Write What I Want To
When I started this blog, I claimed that I would not use it to share any of the fiction I've written or am writing. I also said I wouldn't write any movie/book/TV reviews either. I know I've shared thoughts on at least one movie. And I've ranted about a book that I recently listened to … Continue reading It’s My Blog and I’ll Write What I Want To
What Would You Do With Immortality?
I kind of crashed a girls' night last night. As things went, it was never actually stated that what was happening was intended to be a girls' night. In fact, it just began with a Facebook post with an open invitation for people to get together at the theater to see The Age of Adaline. … Continue reading What Would You Do With Immortality?
That Time I Drove 2.5 Hours to Learn What I Already Knew
I'm not a big fan of wasting time. Don't get me wrong, I'll binge watch the crap out of some shows on Netflix. But that's not necessarily a waste of time, right? I know I'm not finding the cure for cancer or anything, but I am being entertained. I'm sure that has some value. No, … Continue reading That Time I Drove 2.5 Hours to Learn What I Already Knew
Discovering I’m the Wormtail of the Group
I've got this group of friends that I've grown very close to over the years. They're three guys that I went to college with. We all graduated around the same time and have managed to stay in close contact in the years since. For these three brothers, I'd do just about anything. I'm confident that … Continue reading Discovering I’m the Wormtail of the Group
Inefficient Ghouls
I found this little gem on the internet at some point in recent history. As you can plainly see, it's an attempt to explain why it is that ghosts walk through walls. They're just following paths that were familiar to them when they were living. Buildings and floorplans change, but these restless spirits are none … Continue reading Inefficient Ghouls
5 Reasons Why I’d Make a Bad Colonial Person
Not long ago, I noticed someone's Facebook status which made the claim that they would make a bad colonial person. If it was you, let me know so I can give you the proper credit. Anyway, that statement got me thinking: How would I have fared in colonial America? I don't think I would do … Continue reading 5 Reasons Why I’d Make a Bad Colonial Person
Show Your Work!
It was a command that I'm sure most of us heard when we were growing up. Educators teaching math love to say it as they assign homework or pass out quizzes and exams. I heard them say, "Show your work!" so many times that I imagined math teachers would shout their mantra from the rooftops. … Continue reading Show Your Work!
