Special K? More like Special not OK.
It’s enough already, Special K. Quit running the Christmas commercial. It’s almost February for shit’s sake. Aren’t there any Kelloggs executives watching TV who would find this entirely unacceptable? Or have we entered into such a Tevo-driven society that even executives are fast-forwarding through their own commercials?
Maybe the suits aren’t watching TV at all....

I never thought of them as relaxing...
I rocked our baby to sleep using the sounds of The Dead Milkmen’s Laundromat Song.
I never considered Big Lizard in my Backyard as a collection of lullabies, but if the little guy can sooth himself to sleep using the rhythms of this historically awesome album, I’m certainly down with it.
I think this means the baby has solid taste in music.

Unwanted Textual Advances
Often times I receive or engage in entertaining communications via SMS technology. I never thought to document or archive them. But because the Apple iPhone makes it easy to do so, and I need content that’s easy to update without any thought whatsoever, I think I’ll start a series of regular postings titled “Unwanted Textual Advances” showcasing text chains between myself...
The Minivan
Part 3. Continued from part 2 (which was continued from part 1)
According to Google maps, from North Druid, Briarcliff Rd. runs for just about 4 miles before it presents you with a passing lane. 4 miles. Seems like nothing right? Well, here’s some simple math I’ll use to justify the 1,000 F-bombs I dropped, the constant elbowing of the door, and the beligerent banging of the...
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Part 2. Continued from Part 1.

Wait, what? You grabbed your laptop and went into the bathroom!? You take your laptop into the toilet with you!? Disgusting!!!
Look, man, I can guarantee I am more offended by bathroom behavior than you are. Nobody gets more pissed about the things people do in bathrooms than me. But that’s in public. That’s at work. Nothing pisses me off more...
To Hell With the Squirrels
Part 1 of how this blog came to be.
A few months ago, I was running late for work. This isn’t exactly uncommon, but this particular morning it seemed the universe was out to get me.
I have a morning ritual that if interfered with risks screwing up the entire flow (literally) of the day. I need to drink atleast two cups of coffee and eat some form of breakfast in order to pad the gut for my...
This morning: neat as all!
This is what I saw from the narrow little window in our guest bathroom… I thought it looked pretty rad!
(Plus, I wanted to see how photo posts look.)
It's a start, I guess.
And so a New Year begins. Along with the millions of unfit knuckleheads waking up at 4am this morning to head off to fitness bootcamp under the guise of getting a jump start on their 2010 (2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, etc.) resolution, I too have felt the charge and decided to baby step into my own resolution. The difference between myself and the bootcampers is that my resolution has nothing to do...
