I found this picture on the ‘net last week. “Blue” – Original painting by Catherine Jo Morgan. It’s been stuck in my head. This painting is neither dark nor foreboding. It’s actually quite colorful, yet there’s an obvious and inescapable … Continue reading →

I was walking through Sam’s Club and I don’t care how old I am. A huge pile of Ding Dongs still makes me laugh. Almost as much as Keith’s Bootyville comment. 😉

My five-year-old daughter fell in love with this playhouse at Sam’s Club. It’s only $486.43 more than the car I’m driving right now. And it probably runs better.

I bought a pair of cool kicks (isn’t that what the hip kids are calling them these days?) last week. Today was the first I wore them out in the rain. I was looking down while I was walking through … Continue reading →

My 5-year-old daughter and I were driving to the grocery store. As we pulled in, my daughter says, “They must really like you dad!”

First, let me give you the background. The fundraising company I help run has a “Screaming Flying Monkey” as a prize for sellers. Basically, it’s a cute little plush monkey with an aviator’s helmet and rubber arms. You put your … Continue reading →

I found a $70 wool coat at Old Navy on clearance for $10!!! From a distance it looked pretty cool and, hey, how can you beat $10? Still I wondered why there were so many left. I tried it on. … Continue reading →

The fact that my girlfriend’s shower is full of mysterious gadgets and more products than I could use on my car is a topic for another day. The fact that she doesn’t use a bar of soap and uses liquid … Continue reading →

My girlfriend is *very* punctual. While we were out shopping, I found her the perfect wristwatch. 😉

I stop at the gas station to pick up a Diet Pepsi for my girlfriend. There was a line so I’m standing in the open area in front of the counter waiting for my turn to pay. A couple more … Continue reading →

In an interesting development this week, the FCC and Department of Transportation have partnered to create a bill allowing them to regulate radio station playlists. Citing a precedent from Fort Wayne, Indiana, officials say, “We were lucky there were no … Continue reading →

I drove to pick up dinner after work and, in a flashback to my 80’s louder-the-better listening days, I pulled into the restaurant parking lot with windows shaking from hair-metal band Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again”. The timing was perfect … Continue reading →

You know, sometimes it’s hard to even add something to the insanity. Check out the article below copied from Adrants.com. Original link here. Just because the United States of America has a few perception problems in other parts of the … Continue reading →

2 o’clock in the morning. Staring into the bathroom vanity mirror in the dark. Unkempt hair and a two-day beard staring back wearing a brown t-shirt with a faded Batman symbol. Even in the dark, there’s grey in the beard. … Continue reading →

Gas prices this winter have been horrible. As a result people are pulling the “gas belt” tighter to conserve money. There is a shared kitchen in the building where my company is located. An employee of another company fixes Chicken … Continue reading →

I’m activating this anti-crime technology into everything I own! This Superbowl ad from Sprint will show it to you in all it’s glory. Freak’n hilarious. Of course, I still think it’s funny when someone gets poked with a stick… If … Continue reading →

Found these. Don’t ask. Just thought I’d share… I’m Batman! No, I’m Batman! How about, I’m saving myself! Eek.

I had a dream that you and I were coming out of a store – grocery I think – and I was in the parking lot ahead of you waiting by the driver’s side of the car. The car in … Continue reading →
