I'm really not an artist. You couldn't tell because, well, I haven't posted any of my drawings. That's probably why I always gravitated towards writing, even as a kid. Even my stick figures look broken. (And I still recall the laughter of some of my co-workers when I tried drawing a simple arrow on a Continue Reading

02JulWhy fly 1 flag when you can fly Six Flags
What better way to celebrate July 4th than by sharing it with a flag, or six flags in this case. Sure, I'm a complete wuss when it comes to amusement parks. Roller coasters, spinny things, twisty rides, you name it, I'm so not there. (Though I can proudly claim that I did go on the Continue Reading
02JulShop till you bop!
Who doesn't like fashion? Okay, maybe I don't. I mean, I'm writing this post in my jean shorts and a White Castle T-shirt (tis true!). I'm just a "comfort over fashion" type of guy I guess. Working from home makes that super easy. But apparently a lot of people care about fashion. Otherwise, there'd be Continue Reading
01JulFish oil tastes nasty… so at least save some money on it
I eat fish oil. I admit it. I have high cholesterol and do take Lipitor daily to keep that down. I should exercise a lot more than I do. Okay, I should actually start exercising. There, you happy? But I also take 2 gel caps of fish oil every single morning because research seems to Continue Reading
29JunStock up on batteries and recharge your wallet
If you've got kids, then you've got batteries. Lots of batteries. If not, then, well, you've probably got piles of non-working toys and a screaming-around-the-clock kid. We go through batteries like water in our house (and we drink a fair amount of water, y'know). Well, now's the perfect time to stock up on batteries, thanks Continue Reading
29JunBeware the non-parells
So yesterday was our 9-year wedding anniversary. Normally we don't do much on our anniversary except go out to a nice dinner. No cards or presents. At least we really haven't the past few years since having kids. But of course I had to get wifey something she's been craving for months... a Cuisinart Soft Continue Reading
28JunCheck out my Highlights… magazine, that is
Some of my earliest memories of life are sitting in the quite sterile waiting room of our dentist's office. I must've been 6 or 7 I'd guess. The walls were pretty bare, just white with a few boring paintings hung up. Chairs were red cushioned and then a few tiny yellow plastic ones for kids. Continue Reading
28JunArtists, save your ears and save 20%
You don't need to cut off any body parts to become a famous artist. You just need to practice. A lot. Oh, and you need lots of paint and paper or canvas or something to write on. And if you're as bad an artist as I am, you'll need a LOT of materials. Good thing Continue Reading
26JunBeauty is only skin deep… but how deep is that?
Okay, so beauty is only skin deep. We got that. But exactly how deep IS skin anyways? If you're overweight, is your skin thicker? If so, then the heavier you are, the more beautiful you are, right? Yeah, biology was never my strong suit. So let's move on and save some money on beauty products: Continue Reading
26JunDiet is “Die” with a T
Okay, I can't take credit for that one. I'll admit it and give props to Garfield. Yes, Garfield, the lasagna-eating, fat, lazy cartoon cat. I remember seeing that on a book or pin or something when I was younger and just thought it was pretty darn funny. Seeing as how it's officially summer and the Continue Reading
26JunRadio killed the Video Star
Actually, these days I think it's MTV that killed the video star, seeing as how they never show videos anymore... But just a quick note to show off the fact that we're currently spreading across radio airwaves nationwide. Woop! Sure, you may have to be listening in the middle of the night, but in case Continue Reading
