A good day with iTunes.

Ever had one of those days when everything is pretty normal? Some stuff makes you mad, other stuff makes you happy, but in general you know when you look back on your life you know you won’t remember it. You won’t remember it because you didn’t have a big fight or meet your [...]

But I don’t even have my running shoes!

My Thanksgiving break was pretty darn good. Lots of food, some hanging out with old friends, spending a week with the fam, and offending minorities. Yes, apparently I’m racist.
Those of you that know me know that I am not a racist. However, you also know I often times take delight in being [...]

Stuff This!

Thanksgiving has always been a great time of year for me.1 The family gets together, friends come back home, and a general good time is had by all. Aside from the occassional boredom that sets in due to State College being a holiday ghost-town, I typically have a blast.
This year will only be [...]

Naturally my first idea of emailing a jerk chicken was that Yahoo! had somehow acquired a particularly rude fowl and were trying to teach it simple internet functions and typing skills. “Amazing!” I thought to myself, “that has got [...]

Me Dot Com

Hello readership. For those of you who are actually brave/bored enough to come back and read my blog, it’s time to update those blogrolls!
The new site? Why it’s quite simple:

Now honestly, could that have been any easier?
I’m going to be working on classing up the whole joint – see if I can’t get [...]

Toot toot, bitches.

The other day Erik and I were talking about how funny it would be if there was a pan-fluting championship. A pan-fluting championship that was reminiscent of the underground hip-hop scenes in 8-mile.
Guys with totally pimped out pan-flutes toot-toot-tooting their way to fame, glory, and bitches. And of course, the ultimate role model [...]

Why I don’t vote

Today is voting day. People get up early or leave work early or go on their lunch break and go cast their votes for people that hold positions that don’t really matter to me, other than the fact that my taxes pay their salary and also for the programs they institute that will likely [...]

Oh I get it, you’re a terrible mom.

Far be it from me to judge peoples’ parenting styles. I don’t have any kids (as far as I know) and I don’t really want any for at least a while, but it seems to me there are a lot of crappy parents in New York New Jersey and Brooklyn.
Now when I say “crappy [...]
