I didn't think people were supposed to get sick in the summer - but yet here I am, proving yet another theory incorrect.  Today when I woke up, the floor was spinning.  "Interesting," I thought to myself, "it's going to be a trippy day!"  No joke.  Somewhere between going to the bathroom and putting on my pants, the dizziness gave way to a mind- ( Read more... )

Tonight was magical.  For the past week or so, I've been trying to hash out the rhythms and such for "State Fanfare," which is the piece we have to play for block auditions during preseason.  I'm finally starting to get a feel for how the baritone part fits in with the band.  Tonight I decided to play the marching band pregame music, starting with ( Read more... )

Two summers ago, hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to my home, seeking a place to have their children and live a better life.  For a while, these new residence were an bit of a bother, but we were able to live peacefully under the same roof.  That all changed one night, during a typical summer thunderstorm.  My dog Annie, who is terrofied of ( Read more... )

My friend Peter was showing me something like this he made earlier tonight, and I thought it might be fun to try it out myself.  What Pete did was made a picture chart, showing how he looked at his biggest, how he looked at different stages during his diet, and how he looks now.  Granted, the difference you will see in my photos isn't as monumental ( Read more... )

Allow me to update you on all the groovy things happening in my life as of now....

H'okay, so....

On my way to work this morning, I was minding my own business and happily singing along with my CD player.  I was on the final leg of my journey, between Centreville and Three Rivers when I come up behind a truck.  Most trucks I encounter on my daily commute are nothing out of the ordinary.  They are larger than my car, traveling at ( Read more... )

Greetings once more, campers.  I'm sure these past few days have been completely miserable for you, as you have missed my slices of wit and wisdom.  Well wait no more - I have returned.

Despite all that I originally thought, I had a really good time in Las Vegas this past week.  The first day was a little slow, but that was mostly because I wasn't ( Read more... )

I'm home.  I have junk to do right now, so expect a rather lengthy picture post tonight. 

Tomorrow I head off for the capital of Sin, Elvis Imposters, Sloppy Slots, and 3.99 crab buffets.  I decided back in Februaryish that I'd go along, and up until the past week or so, I'd been kind of dreading it.  While I'm still not looking forward to this quite as much as I was my trip to Germany, I think it will be fun.  However, there may be a ( Read more... )
