Greetings from your wayward friend!  I came to the realization today that I've been neglecting my posting duties like a red-headed step-child, so here is your grand old fashion update.

Since we last spoke, I've recieved some unfortunate news.  My great-great aunt, who is a little over 93 years old, seems to be in the midst of the sunset of her life ( Read more... )

It's been a couple weeks since we last spoke, and my what a couple weeks they have been!  For starters, perhaps we should discuss the excitement that was mine shortly after I last filled you in on my life.  After a short shopping excursion for more worldly possesions, my friend Megan and I went to see perhaps the BIGGEST film of the entire summer, ( Read more... )

Greetings from East Lansing!  After a fairly full day of moving boxes, organizing clutter, and all the other things that go along with moving, I'm now getting comfortable in my new home.  When I first sat down at my desk tonight, I thought "man, it's great to have a window again!"  That was when I thought my view would be limited to the building ( Read more... )

The exploration for new forms of life is one that has captured man's imagination for centuries.  Are we alone?  Some say that we are.  These are also the people that say farting is a sin.  Tonight, I did what scientists and explorers alike have been trying to do for years: made contact with other life forms.

I began by taking an inventory of my ( Read more... )

I've never quite been able to figure out how anyone can sleep walk.  I doubt I ever will.  I've always kind of viewed them as "the others."  Individuals that I wouldn't let my children associate with.  Last night, I got a brief look into their world.

After an uneasy night's sleep at Matt's birthday party the night before, it seemed nice to be ( Read more... )

One of my only memories of my early childhood is the old lady that use to live next door to my family on Maple street.  Her name was Pauline, and she was Hitler's grandmother.  Though she rarely demonstrated in front of me, she had the mouth of a sailor, and a outlook on racial diversity that would have made the grand dragon even tell her to tone ( Read more... )

Today was just like any other day, really.  I woke to the mind splitting chorus of two alarm clocks - perfectly in sync - chiming their call to arms.  To the untrained ear, my alarm clocks sound no different than any others...that is to say, they sound unpleasant and digital.  Something one might hear on a space ship, just as the ship is about to ( Read more... )

Alrighty then, my friends, the past couple nights I've been reading through past entries and taking a walk down memory lane.  For the most part, I can remember exactly what I was thinking and how I felt when I typed most of the things that are burried deep in my archive.  However, there has been something that has been bothering me that I would ( Read more... )

There are days that I think to myself "I love my town - I don't know how I'll feel about it when it's actually time to move this fall."  Then all it takes is a quick drive downtown to remind me how I'll feel.  Downtown Sturgis is hell.  It's beyond hell.  Satan wouldn't even want to hang out there.  Half of one of the main roads in town is torn up ( Read more... )

What is it with people driving like idiots today?  Lets take a brief look at all the adventures I've had in my car today:

+  On my way to work this morning, there was a soccer mom driving a Suburban in the other lane, obviously too busy with her coffee and cell phone conversation to be bothered with something as trivial as driving.  She didn't ( Read more... )
