Well, boys and girls, today was the last day of school. In some ways, it felt like this school year took forever to reach the end. In other ways, it kind of flew by. Throughout the year, if you're a Facebook friend, you've seen the occasional status update that shows up under the heading "Overheard … Continue reading Overheard at School
On the Way Back from Brazil
On the way back from Brazil one time, I volunteered to carry a friend's souvenir. But first, a little background. During Spring Break of my senior year, I went with a group of BSU students to Brazil for a mission trip. While there, we had the chance to go into the public schools in a … Continue reading On the Way Back from Brazil
100 Movies

It's kind of a brain teaser. Hopefully, if I've uploaded correctly, if you click … Continue reading 100 Movies
Mobile
More often than not, I think commercials are stupid. Now that I live in an age of DVRs, I tend to fast forward through those annoying commercials. But several years ago, fast forwarding just wasn't much of an option for me. Now, I never used T-Mobile for cellular service. But these commercials just cracked me … Continue reading Mobile

The entree changes every day. This is where you find your pizza, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, MAXX cheese sticks (whatever the heck … Continue reading Do They Really Eat That?

One day, as I was leaving work, I decided I was hungry. But I didn't want to get home to fix something. No, I wanted something fast and cheap and ready right away. So I pulled into the local Taco Bell to enjoy a tasty chicken quesadilla. I placed my order, like one normally would, … Continue reading Loss of Appetite

The Whistler
Back when I was in high school, I did some volunteer work for the Raleigh Court Public Library. While I was there working in the afternoons, I came into contact with a man who would come to be known as The Whistler. No, he wasn't the villain of the week on Smallville. If you're from … Continue reading The Whistler
