Well I’m headed off to San Francisco in less than an hour, and I realized that this not only is my first real “business trip” but also it’s the first time I’ve really gone anywhere I’ve never been before by myself. For me being a type J, this is quite intimidating. I’m excited to see …
Dear Jerry Angelo
Get Ashley Lelie! I don’t know why on Earth you haven’t made this happen, but do it. If they want Michael Haynes and cash, do it. Am I the only person who sees how big of an impact he could make? Oh and by the way. Just because you drafted somebody, doesn’t necessarily just make …
Ugh, not you again
I had a dream last night about the first girl I ever fell in love with. I’ve done this a few times now, and I always wake up with a foggy, ethereal air of contententment and happiness at our reunion. Nothing sexual at all, just us reunited. So I wake up content, and then immediately …

On Being Productive (J on the Myers-Briggs)
One more frightening glimpse into my neurosis. I hate to take naps. Hate it. I almost always feel worse afterward (specifically it feels like my teeth are loose, PLEASE comment if you’ve ever had that feeling), and my body just doesn’t like sleeping for a very short period of time. However, more than anything, the …
The Hot ‘n’ Now Apocalypse
One of the most disturbing and mysterious events of my lifetime was the sudden disappearance of every Hot ‘n’ Now in the country. One day I was enjoying their large Olive Burger with a medium Surge, and the next day all of them had packed up and gone. Literally in the course of human history …
Snip Snip, Sip Sip
I decided since I rant about advertising enough, I’d setup a whole separate category called that. So my latest rant is on a billboard I’ve seen several times on my way to and from work. It’s for Seagram’s Extra Dry Gin, and the ad is a stylized looking barbershop with someone sitting getting their haircut, …
Additional Soccer Thoughts
So just after posting yesterday’s sports post, Zidane (the captain for France) headbutted one of the Italian players and got red-carded… to conclude his soccer career. I’ve never seen anything like that. It would be like Michael Jordan instead of hitting that last shot against the Jazz in 98, passing the ball, bowling over Russel, …
A Very Big Sports Post
Well I haven’t posted any sports thoughts in a while, but I have had them. So I’m going to just give my thoughts for all the major sports right now. Baseball Cubs: Overall Well at this point it goes without saying that the Cubs suck. My Braves fan friend said “It’s a good thing the …
Too Many Metaphors
Newer song. I will confess it’s quasi-inspired by the Office Season 2 finale. Too Many Metaphors Longing to say the words that always felt so wrong from my lips All the things that we could be, and all the reasons it can’t be this But I can’t move, I may never walk again Please don’t …
