Banana Pro-Defamation League, Utah Chapter
First, my apologies if you came here expecting another anti banana rant. This in my personal blog and I feel like getting personal today. So with that disclaimer, on with the show. I am a Gemini. If you are not into that hocus pocus astro base star sign silliness, it gets even worse. I am a ...
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it
I have been overwhelmed the last few weeks as parts of my past have returned - not to haunt me - but to join in my current state of absolute amazement. Â I've tried to collect those thoughts into my first blog post in months, I'm sure it rambles but hey, it's my blog, not the ...
An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.
News came out yesterday that sales of Rolling Stone magazine doubled with their recent controversial cover featuring accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. These normally mundane circulation numbers masquerading as news served to provide further kindling to the debate that continues to rage concerning the appropriateness of the cover. Online comments pontificating on how the only ...
Unless you've been living under a rock you've heard the big news from the sporting world, news that originated right here in Indiana. Last night Bloomington South defeated Arlington High School 107-2 in girls basketball 'action'. Predictably for this day and age people have taken to social media to express their outrage and shock that such ...
MOving On. No, not from the election. From October to November. It's been a couple of weeks since I posted. I know I was going to post daily updates on my Beards for Breast Cancer progress, but I've been busy at work with preparations for the election. So consider this my final, belated Beards for Breast Cancer post. Here is ...
Ladies and gentlemen of the Blogosphere, I'm just a caveman... Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see your tall buildings and flashing neon signs, sometimes I just want to get away as fast as I can, to my place in Martha's Vineyard. I'm more at home hunting the woolly mammoth than I am ...
This is very unusual for me. I promise baby, it doesn't happen very often. No I don't need to go see a doctor. I'm fine, really. Normally this never happens to me. I'm speechless. No, really I'm speechless. I have nothing to say. Nothing of interest. No controversy. No deep thoughts. No anti banana rhetoric. I just have nothing to say. Except, it is Day 12 of the ...
Oh how I wish I could blame the missing Day 10 update on alcohol once again. Nope, no such luck. Â I spent Day 10 fighting off whatever that nasty creepy crud is that is floating around our fair city. I am back and grinding away today if for no other reason than to allow my co-workers to ...
Apparently I have been unable to smile this week (must be all the grey hair), so I decided to rotate my pic. It's Day 9 of the Beards for Breast Cancer awareness program. Growing your beard yet? Â Why not? And don't tell me you can't, they still sell that hair in a can crap. http://youtu.be/2GeF7A05zQ8 Ok, even if you can't ...
Day 8? Â Can't be Day 8. Â What happened to Day 7. Not trying to be a party pooper here but I really want my Day 7 back. How does a day just happen and you completely forget about it? I may not be a rocket scientist, but I know Day 7 happened in there... days just don't disappear ...
Late night = late afternoon post for day 6 of the Beards For Breast Cancer daily update. It's late Saturday afternoon and in this light the snowy white whiskers are very apparent. It's not to late to join me. Â Throw your razor away, donate, or buy a t-shirt!
The strangest thing keeps happening. I was so looking forward to 31 days of not shaving, yet every morning I keep waking up and thinking 'Damn I Need To Shave'... Taking a look at today's close up, it's obvious that in a week I'll be reaching for that ol Just for Men stuff. Way to much white ...
The first debate is over and I've reviewed all of the national media and my own social feeds and it is very apparent that the winner of last night's debate was The Cocktail Party. No doubt America's booze industry received a welcome Wednesday night stimulus based solely on the amount of drinking games that were promoted to go ...
Not much else to say today. Â Shocker huh? Face getting scratchy. It's not to late to get in on the Beards for Breast Cancer awareness campaign. See the original post or visit Beards for Breast Cancer for more information!
Unbelievable. That's all I can say. I've decided to start a food blog because I think that will be more fun to write than a diet blog. The domain has been purchased. The blog is setup. All I need now is an establishment to review. You wouldn't think that would be terribly difficult in a ...
Well here it is, October 1st 2012 and I am clean shaven for the first time since at least April. Yes the soul patch was bid a tearful adieu last night as I prepared for two straight months of facial hair oriented charitable causes. First on the list is Beards for Breast Cancer. This Indianapolis organization asks everyone ...
Yesterday when I wrapped up my totally awesome attempt at categorizing my 2012 into quarters I mentioned that I had declared the 4th quarter of 2012 as 'Charity Disparity' due to the fact that previously in my life I had not only neglected, but actively avoided giving back to my community. I'm not going to go ...
Yes gentle reader it is already September in the year of 2012 which means if you've been in any kind of business class you realize that this is the end of the 3rd quarter and we are now gunning full throttle into the 4th and final quarter of another year in our lives. When I look ...
When I was younger I never enjoyed answering the ubiquitous question: 'What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up'. Any time I was asked this question I'd take a look at the adults in my life; my Grandpa operating a full service gas station for over 40 years and then spending the last few years ...
Andy Griffith has died. This news in and of itself is not a shocker as the man was 86 years old. Predictably the Twitterverse has lit up with tweets from all corners of the country. So far my favorite tweets range the gamut of emotion - From the Continue Reading...
In high school I was friends with the stoners and the preps. Â Even though I was a stubborn GDI (God Damned Independent) in college, I still managed to forge life long friendships with the bane of every good GDI's existence, the Greeks. Â As a mostly grown up I have great friends whose opinions and beliefs ...
Ok, I now officially hate the NBA. Not basketball as a game in general, and most definitely not the Pacers, but the NBA as an evil and corrupt organization. During the 2012 playoffs the NBA made us very aware of who they wanted to win this series. God forbid that jersey sales go down if the ...
It is a well known fact that I hate bananas. No, hate is too weak of a word. What is a stronger word than hate? Loathe? Yeah, lets go with loathe. I loathe bananas. Many of my gentle, yet strong (geesh, put on some deodorant) readers have asked just what in the world is wrong ...
So what better way to reintroduce my blog to the unsuspecting world by combining my two greatest loves. Random Food & Inane Babble. We've got a really cool food truck scene blossoming here in Indy so I've challenged myself to try out 20 different Indianapolis food trucks in 20 days. So the first rule of food truck ...
Yes gentle reader, I have finally resurrected the long dead website of your pal, your friend of friends, Me. Why you might ask? I don't know. Maybe I grew tired of being constrained to 140 character rants on Twitter about the evil and vile fungus known as a banana. Maybe it's a mid-life crisis. Maybe I like ...
