FYI
Steal This Post
Go ahead. Take it. Use it however you want. I give you permission to put on your eye patch, peg leg, and parrot and pirate away. I’m not afraid of my work being stolen. Why? Not because it won’t happen, but because it will and there’s not much anyone can do about it. Sure... »
I Told You So (Ricky Gervais Part II)
I said it almost a year ago. And then I said I told you so a couple months ago. Now I can say I really told you so. This one can be filed under the “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” category. Right after the Golden Globes faded to black and everyone started... »
Pickle: Your Time Has Come
I’ve decided that pickles are going to be the next big thing. The next “bacon” if you will. Why not? Bacon’s had a very nice run and still tastes yummy, but why not pickles now? Pickles are more complex in flavor and take a more mature palette than bacon. Also, they’re a little friendlier... »
Jack Lugar for Congress
When I created this blog, I had the idea of using it as a tool to develop my writing. I didn’t have a specific plan or focus for it. I just wanted to see what ideas came to my head and then translate them into something that might more often than not be entertaining... »
Pre-Teens & Tiaras
I was a very proud dad last weekend. I was also pleasantly surprised. My 12 year-old daughter came home from school earlier this spring asking Elisabeth (her mom) if she could enter a pageant that was happening this summer. That was a bit of an interesting request considering that she really had not shown... »
The Economy of Fireworks
This is a repost of what I wrote last year at this time. It may be a year later, but they put the sign back up, so this post still holds true. Something’s wrong here. Why is it when fireworks should be selling like hotcakes, stores are offering “buy one get five free deals?” ... »
Sony XL-2400
Back in 2006 I bought a Sony 50″ rear projection TV. I’d always wanted an HD television and the Colts were going to the Super Bowl, so this was the perfect excuse. Of course I would have loved getting a plasma, but the prices were way to high for me. The rear projection was priced... »
The Loneliest Number
Do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself. Ralph Waldo Emerson One thing? If I could choose one thing? I’ve never been accused of being a person who could choose just one thing. And that’s most likely my problem. I’m the Jack of all trades… I’m... »
Surprise
I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, if we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last. Ralph Waldo Emerson The assignment for today was to think of a time when I didn’t think I was capable of doing something, but... »
An Unconspired Conspiracy
These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. Ralph Waldo Emerson I’ve written about fear before. My biggest fear. I don’t think the fear I experience is... »
