I mean, what would you have done in my shoes? I was at the drive-thru window at the bank, as I usually was, and I had finished the customer's transactions. I got on the mic and asked if there was anything else that I could do for them. They clearly said no. Then they sat … Continue reading Awkward

Not Winning Any Popularity Contests
Hey everyone. Remember a couple weeks ago when I mentioned that I was under the impression that my professor doesn't like me? Well, I don't think I've managed to do anything recently to change his opinion of me. Yesterday, I made the trip to my current school's campus in order to participate in a required … Continue reading Not Winning Any Popularity Contests
Carpetland
Long ago, back in my college years, a few of us were presented with an interesting opportunity. The few were myself, Clint, Sarah, and Cassie. All of us sang together in a couple different groups in those days. When I've written about singing in college and claimed that I got to sing with some of … Continue reading Carpetland

While there, we had the chance to go into the public schools in a … Continue reading On the Way Back from Brazil
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
Apparently It’s a Problem
I don't enjoy getting up early. I do it even when I don't have to because my body is conditioned to do so. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. So there are a lot of days when I will fully utilize the crap out of my alarm's snooze function. Sometimes this causes … Continue reading Apparently It’s a Problem
Do They Really Eat That?
Every day, children at my school are given several options to choose from for their lunch. Usually, these options consist of a different daily entree or the old standbys, PB&J or a chef salad. 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?
Loss of Appetite
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
