Being from Missouri, I found this segment on The Colbert Report to be rather amusing. Check it out.

Yes, I know technically, it's really just a weekend. But seeing as I only have one day of actual work this week, I've extended it. Why only one day? Well, Monday is a holiday, of course. Tuesday is the one day where I will actually have to work. Wednesday and Thursday I have some off-site training, which means that not only will I not go in to work ( Read more... )

OK, I really should be going to bed, but I just have to say something about this ( Read more... )

For whatever reason, I never really got into soccer too much. Sure, I played as a kid, but didn't everyone? I'm sure I wasn't very good...don't really remember too much about it. The only shot I ever remember taking got blocked, so no goals for 'lil Pete. Though I always did love Pele's Soccer on the Atari 2600 ( Read more... )

My apologies as I delve briefly into politics. Obviously, the title is a reference to Ann Coulter's bestseller "Godless: The Church of Liberalism." I think it's awfully scary that this is a best-seller--perhaps even more scary than a book by Bill O'Rielly making the best-seller list. Are there really that many people out there that agree with her ( Read more... )

Today was quite the long and busy day. Got up at 6 a.m. -- yes, on a weekend -- so I could go downtown and participate in a 5K walk for the Komen Race for the Cure. Fortunately, it was an absolutely perfect day for a walk, and downtown Indy really is quite nice. I saw parts of it that I haven't really noticed before. It was a work team, too, so I ( Read more... )

I kid you not, that was an actual line from an actual email I received at work today. I burst out laughing when I saw it. Of course, it was SUPPOSED to read "I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause," but that's not what it said ( Read more... )

I just realized I haven't posted anything here in a while. I've been very busy lately, between work and my part-time grad studies. What little free time I have I use to keep up with 24 (shaping up to be the best season yet...wow was it good this week), playing some hoops, hanging out downtown for the Final Four, dodging tornadoes, and getting some ( Read more... )

Well, it's Final Four weekend in Indy. Even though I didn't have tickets to the games, I decided to go downtown to enjoy the festivites and soak in a bit of the atmosphere from the biggest even in college sports ( Read more... )

The World Baseball Classic has been interesting. With no surprise (at least, not to me), Team USA managed to lose to the Canadian team. Hey, last I checked, baseball was the AMERICAN pastime, not the Canadian pastime. But hey, they always do this. Remember Team USA in the 2004 Olympics? Neither do I, because they didn't even manage to qualify ( Read more... )
