I was going through the Rotten Tomatoes website and came across a section called "Halloween Costume Guide." One of the ideas was Jay and Silent Bob. Take a look at this write up ( Read more... )

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, so how about we do a little catching up ( Read more... )

I started to create an entry that was entirely political, based on this whole Sarah Palin nomination, but then I erased it. I've calmed down quite a bit since hearing her speech and don't have nearly as much to say about it as I once did. It was a decent speech to be sure, and I would certainly rather see her in the White House over McCain, but ( Read more... )

Stephanie, Kyle, and I went to Chicago Uno tonight to play a little NTN. For those that don't know what it is, it's a trivia game that is usually present at bars and other places where somewhat smart people can find out that they really don't know that much (or are incredibly good guessers). Stephanie and I played one game and started playing a ( Read more... )

The title of this post comes from a movie called "Street Kings" for those wondering ( Read more... )

In order to properly set up what happened today, here’s a quick tale from my childhood: I was a boy of elementary school when Thomas Weston Joslyn (that’s right, I said it), a kid that I socialized with every once and a while, would steal my pencils from my desk while I was trying to enjoy a film strip (we didn’t know what DVDs were back then ( Read more... )

So, I suppose Jackie and I are in a tattoo competition now. Evidently when you tell someone that you will someday have more tattoos than they do, you're supposed to fulfill that empty threat. I did not know this, and now I have to find someone in the area that'll tattoo me for cheap. It's too bad that the guy that was tattooing me messed around on ( Read more... )

There was a time that I wanted to write an entire paper on listening to other people's conversations, particularly catching the tail-ends of them. Here is the end of one that I overheard while walking through TJ Maxx the other night:

"It's got to be funny though, like someone falling off a roller coaster and landing on a box of kittens."

So I got a new cell phone number back in December. Actually scratch that, I didn’t get a new cell phone number so much as I adopted an old number from someone else. More than half the time I have a new voicemail it’s not for me it’s for Jennifer Parlay. I’ve had a variety of calls for her, the most recent of which being creditors calling asking ( Read more... )

Don't ask me why, but I ran into Stephanie at the Trac this afternoon and decided to come home and write something on Livejournal. After spending about twenty minutes trying to figure out how to use the thing again, I found that I haven't said much since late February. Truth be told, there hasn't been a lot worth mentioning. But, for the sake of ( Read more... )
