I know... that's not even a word! In the last couple days, I've seen this phenomenon plastered on social media. I'm not sure if it's hit everyone's Twitter and Facebook feeds or if it's just mine. There's a real chance it's just mine and it simply means that social media has discovered my condiments of … Continue reading Mayochup

The People You Don’t See
It occurs to me that I have lived in Blacksburg for roughly five years now. And in that time, I've discovered that there are a number of people I've known from high school and college who also live in this, technically, small town. But, in those five years, I have never run into a single … Continue reading The People You Don’t See
Granite Dreams
A little over a week ago, I began seeing this floating around the internet...I just want to say to @alexissantoraaa, this is brilliant. And I think it could inspire a hilarious movie. Hear me out... I picture it starring Jason Bateman, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Zach Galifianakis. It could start out with a City … Continue reading Granite Dreams
I Can Sell Anything…
Occasionally I'll hit up a fast food drive through here and there. I know, they're not good for me. That's fine. But they sure are convenient. And the preservatives and whatnot that they inject into the food sure does make it tasty and probably slightly addictive. Anyway, this is not about the moral ramifications of … Continue reading I Can Sell Anything…
I Need to Get Some Things Off My Chest
I'm breaking my blogging hiatus even though I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to break my blogging hiatus. But there are some things that have been happening in the world that have gotten under my skin and I would like to address those things, briefly. This will not be an award winning blog post that … Continue reading I Need to Get Some Things Off My Chest
Being Sick
It's my fault. Really. I jinxed myself. If such a thing is possible. And it's because I was bragging about how I wasn't getting sick. See, according to Timehop, around this time each year, I'm usually sick or getting over some kind of illness. Usually it begins around Christmas. It's usually a variation on the … Continue reading Being Sick
Get Off My Lawn!
Like New Girl's Nick Miller, I'm pretty sure I'm aging into my personality very well. In fact, someday, I'll make a very good cantankerous old man. I suppose, it could be argued, that I already make a very good cantankerous old man. And that's fine. Because you're about to get a dose of what I … Continue reading Get Off My Lawn!
The Reunion Questionnaire
2018 marks 20 years since I graduated from high school. I know, it's hard to believe. Because there's no way I'm old enough to have graduated high school 20 years ago. And yet... Anyway, we have a reunion website and each week the blog over there features a different member from the Class of '98. … Continue reading The Reunion Questionnaire
My Favorite Posts from 2017
Last year, when I did a similar post about the things I posted in 2016, I wasn't able to limit my favorites to a list of 10. This year, I have been able to pick 10. And I think that's mostly because I didn't blog nearly as much in 2017 as I did the year … Continue reading My Favorite Posts from 2017
The Cruelest Joke
You know that feeling? The one where you wake up at 3AM and just know that you're about to be in some sort of intestinal distress? Just me? Okay... well, it's not a comfortable feeling. It's the kind of thing where it feels like things inside your gut are doing flips, even though you know … Continue reading The Cruelest Joke
