I Blog, Therefore I Sham?

January 3, 2010

If you’re among those who believe that blogging is the key to early retirement, I’m about to burst your delusional bubble.
Cindi from Moomette’s Magnificents recently showed off that some lead harvesting business opportunity site calculated her blog as being worth $31,049.70.
Knowing I’d sell my children for half that amount I decided to see how [...]

Using Twitter in the Midst of Tragedy

December 15, 2009

Yesterday, someone I’ve only known digitally experienced a tremendous loss when her 2-year old son fell into their pool and subsequently drowned. I couldn’t imagine such a tragedy and it broke my heart even though I’ve never met him or her IRL.
Inexplicably, someone is challenging this mom in her grief to “prove it”. Another went [...]

Monday Mingle – December 7th

December 7, 2009

In the words of that freakish little blonde in Poltergeist…I’m baaaaaack!
Man, that was a long two weeks but we did have a great time. It’s hard to crack my way back into the blogosphere after being gone so long.
Hopefully you’ll all welcome me with open arms. I figured doing a Monday Mingle would [...]

Monday Mingle Rejected

November 22, 2009

Hey all! I arrived in New York safely and was ready to activate the Monday Mingle that I had recorded last week since I expected to be gone. Unfortunately, the video was rejected by YouTube because I had used a song into that must have sent up a red flag. It was only 45 seconds [...]

Why Does Best Buy’s Customer Service Irk Me?

November 20, 2009

Perhaps I’m so accustomed to getting terrible customer service wherever I go that I’m just not prepared for the customer gushing that takes place at Best Buy.
At first, it’s appreciated, but it doesn’t take long to get eye-gougingly annoying. I think their associates have overdosed on customer service videos.
It all starts when I walk through [...]

Hello, I’m giving you my 88-week notice.

November 20, 2009

I never thought I’d ever write a blog post about Oprah unless it was to thank her for having me on her show.
But this announcement of hers is just insane.
CNN and MSNBC are all aflutter with headlines, video montages, and “fan reaction” after Oprah deflated the world by announcing that she was quitting her show.
In [...]

Dear Daddy

November 18, 2009

As many of you know by now, mainly because I won’t stop whining about it, my wife and two youngest are in New York as my wife helps her mom recover from surgery.
While I’m flying up there on Saturday to spend the week with them before we drive home together (wahooo!) I still miss them [...]

Monday Mingle – November 16th

November 15, 2009

This week’s Monday Mingle is a bit more risque than previous weeks as one of the questions asks if we’ve ever streaked or skinny dipped. Hmmmm.
For those unaware, Monday Mingle is a weekly video blog where a series of questions, topics or ideas are answered and discussed by participating bloggers. Jennifer over at Eighty MPH [...]

Spock Needs a Barber

November 15, 2009

Would it kill Captain Kirk to take some of his Priceline money and hook Spock up at Super Cuts? My man needs to get his hair did.
Over the last 40 years it seems that all the galactic nerds aboard the Enterprise have enjoyed new hair styles except Spock.
While Captain Kirk continues to get all [...]

Sleep. Can someone tell me what that’s like?

November 13, 2009

It’s odd but that slice of bread actually looks REALLY comfortable right about now.
I need to forewarn you. This post will probably be completely incoherent but it’s really not supposed to be a legitimate post anyhow.
I am so tired. I have now had a grand total of 10 hours of sleep over the past [...]

Grief. It’s What’s For Dinner.

November 11, 2009

Continuing today’s honoring of my wife’s father and brother this Veterans Day I wanted to talk about food. Or at least what the military has the audacity to pass off as food.
Name That Dish!
Before we begin, let’s see if you can determine what this is. I’ll give you a hint so that you can immediately [...]
