As a sworn procrastinator, I felt it was my solemn duty to wait until the very end of the month to get my car inspected. In the state where I live, one must have their car inspected annually in order for that vehicle to be street legal. At the beginning of November I knew of … Continue reading Because Who Says No to Free Pizza?

This Is So Meta
Have you guys seen this new commercial for Facebook/Meta? If not... here it is. If you've got about a minute to waste, give it a look. https://youtu.be/G2W9YVkkn9U Not sure how you can tell it's a commercial for Facebook or Meta until you get to the end when both logos appear on screen. I really have … Continue reading This Is So Meta
Super Mario Bros.: A Reflection of Society?
I’ll admit that, once upon a time, I watched Glee. I didn’t watch it for long. I really enjoyed the music, but the stories were crap. I know that a lot of people will disagree with that, but it’s just my opinion. Anyway, there was this one episode where a character had a throw away line … Continue reading Super Mario Bros.: A Reflection of Society?
Should I Write a Book?
It’s a question I ask myself every now and then. And I’ve been asking myself off and on for many years. I think about it. I get excited about the ideas and the possibilities. I get overwhelmed. I doubt my abilities. I wonder if I could ever even find the required time. I quit before … Continue reading Should I Write a Book?
Chicken Sandwich Taco
It's not often that I will take the time to talk about some flash-in-the-pan fast food item that probably won't be on the menu next month. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've decided to do such a thing. But something bothers me about Taco Bell's new Chicken Sandwich Taco. I … Continue reading Chicken Sandwich Taco
And Now…
I’ve been in a Deep Thoughts kind of mood lately. I’m sure there will be a lot of readers out there who have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m referring to Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey. Deep Thoughts were a common segment found on Saturday Night Live back in the 90’s. They’re the kind of thing that you either think are hilarious … Continue reading And Now…
Oracle
I feel the need to give some very careful instructions regarding a classic fortune-telling device known as the Magic 8-Ball. The Magic 8-Ball can be found in a variety of places, usually in the places where toys are sold. Recently, there have been a rash of copycat and novelty 8-Balls, but none can overtake the … Continue reading Oracle
Junk
How does the phenomenon of the junk drawer occur? You know you have one. I know you know what I’m talking about. There are so many items that come into people’s lives that are entirely unnecessary to own, yet they’re so insistent on keeping them. Things like the souvenir shot glasses from the Hard Rock … Continue reading Junk
Happy Thoughts
I watched the movie Hook the other day and something struck me. The grown up Peter Pan had a really hard time flying. Now, if you know the Peter Pan story, you know that all it takes to fly is a little pixie dust and one happy thought. In the classic Disney version of the story, the … Continue reading Happy Thoughts
Five Years
Where do you see yourself in five years? This is the question that is inevitably asked of every college student at one point or another. Some are asked as rising freshmen. Some are asked as exiting graduates. Many are even asked again once they interview for that job they’ve been working so hard to get. … Continue reading Five Years
