Once upon a Wednesday, there was a guy working out in his garage. A self-built garage gym. OK, well equipment bought off Amazon that required assembly. But at least it wasn’t Fisher Price, or so the package said. The idea of a home gym is, by most accounts, a tremendous idea. No gym membership. Time…
Dude Thought He Was THE Jersey Mike
WHAT A RUSH! That feeling of anticipation that you get in your stomach when you place a to-go order at a restaurant under a false name that you unequivocally believe to be funny. But actually you are nervous because it has taken 10 minutes now, the name has yet to be called and you have…
A Muliti-Colored Sheen
I will admit, I had to look up what the word “sheen” meant. Sheen (noun): A soft luster on a surface. Originally, my mind went right to Charlie Sheen, who is a man of many colors. Mostly white. But this word seems to stick out in a New York Times article that has a lot…

Love You Forever

Why Can I Not Be Without My Phone?
“If you are swaggering around with your iDevice and you don’t see nature, then why would you want to preserve it?” – Lawrence Millman VICE Article: A Short Interview With Lawrence Millman VICE is my home page, mainly because the subjects of their current events are not purely set on the daily antics of the…
Peanut Butter & Jelly Addiction
You would be hard pressed to find another human that loves peanut butter & jelly (preserves!) sandwiches more than this guy. Actually, maybe the 1996 version of my old friend Jason who would come over to the house every day over the summer with a packed lunch would take the cake (a PB&J flavored cake)….
Minor Major League Baseball Moments, No. 1
Advantage: Freddie Freeman What turned out to be Freddie Freeman’s final at-bat against the Padres in last night’s game (4/17/17) provided a range of emotions and eventual elation for Braves fans. With a 3 for 3 night, including a homer and two doubles already on the resume, thinking that should be enough offensive production for…
A Difficult Path, I
Has a healthy, amicable conversation about politics ever been documented? Or even religion, for that matter. Why are these two topics of discussion so extremely polarizing? You can’t discuss them in public without someone throwing up their hands and saying, “Woah, woah, woah!” What happened (or is currently happening) to create this divide, where there…
