Links n’ Junk
In the vain effort of creating structure I’m starting this no-brainer-yet-depressingly-standard-blog-category called (obviously) Links n’ Junk. The links may be unnecessarily uninteresting and in some cases darned puzzling. If I document the links it’s probably for my own confused purposes so don’t be concerned: its me, not you single reader. A Swedish shadow looms over…

Dungeons and Dragons: The Warrior Requiem
I was one of the geeks that got good grades so that I could play Dungeons and Dragons. I loved the game and really only started to dislike it when I noticed how addicted other people got with it. At that point, I quit—but I still watched the cartoon.

Ten Things That I Would Like To Do
Hang out in the city with my wife and kids ala scoboco. Take my wife and kids and backpack through Europe. Play phenom music. Like Clapton guitar and Connick piano. Sorry, MCF, no tuba.

Surge Protection from Power Trips
Sometimes, our personal opinions surge and we bandy them about. Favorite colors, the perfect movie, the right book, the concept of what “pops”, the proper way to cook—on and on. Opinions are a pretty common thing until one person has the power to enforce their opinion. For example: You pay me to paint rooms. You…

Tired and True
Tiredness comes in several forms and are more easily embraced than others. What are the levels of tiredness—let me list the ways.

American Idol and Train Wrecks
This post has nothing to do with train wrecks. Train wrecks are horrible things. When over fifty tons of steel and glass are hurled down feeble tracks at speeds as high as one hundred and sixty miles per hour towards a wall or a similar oncoming vehicle, everyone should be scared. Or horrified. A similar…
