prophecy

Bogus.
That was the first word out of my mouth this morning when I looked out the window and noticed that it was raining.  And unfortunately I was not just waking from an awesome dream in which I was hanging out with Bill and Ted.
I don’t use bogus lightly either, I usually reserve it for Times Of Great [...]

saving the world one cubicle at a time

I’ve often wondered what super powers I would have if I suddenly became a super hero one day.
Becoming a super hero always seems to happen by accident or some Strange Incident, so I imagine I’d be ordering a bagel and instead of giving me scallion cream cheese the dude would give me Radioactive Cream Cheese [...]

spread the word

Because two of my good friends got married over the weekend, I had to go inside a church for the first time in a very long time.
Churches have always been weird to me, going back to when I attended Catholic School from first to eighth grade.  I remember we used to have to go to [...]

under my skin

Hello everyone! Chris is having a spa vacation, getting facials and having his eyebrows waxed and his heels exfoliated and he asked me, Melissa Lion of Recovering Californian fame, to post for him. He also asked to borrow my fluffy pink robe and some pointers on “girl talk,” both of which I gladly gave him.
Because [...]

call of duty

When Things Go Wrong, I am usually the type of man to note it, and then promptly move on to things that don’t make me have to think or move too much.
But there is something happening in the world today that I cannot stand any longer - the downfall of Brad Pitt.
His girlfriend, Angelina Jolie [...]

on the road again

This weekend Ari and I will be going to West Virginia to be in the wedding of two of our best friends, and this means two things:
1) I will be drinking Too Much and yelling about sports with all the other groomsman, which means I will be Happy.
2) I will be driving us there, which [...]

not worth my time

I never really got into the whole Where’s Waldo craze - and not because I don’t see the allure of the books. Mainly because I find Waldo to be kind of an asshole.
Think about what it must be like to be friends with that guy.
You’re hanging out, having a good time, you turn your back [...]

some stuff

Happy Monday people - I have a post, but from now on, every 14th of the month I am being featured over with all the other great writers at Burt Reynolds’ Mustache, so please go check me out there today.  I wrote about the talent show in high school, so you should read it.  Please? [...]

spellbound

Last night on the train ride home, I was thinking about how I love Beat It, but I can’t get fully behind a song that is essentially telling me to turn and run like a frightened little boy when faced with any sort of conflict.
I just can’t.
Then, while making a sad face On The Outside, [...]

safety first

It’s officially summer time, and that means lots of things, like going to the beach, or drinking too many beers in the hot sun and almost passing out from dehydration.  And for some people, it means going to amusement parks.
I take in the occasional trip to those Lands Of Fun, and yeah, I have some [...]
