When will I stop reading the Focus on the Family newsletter? Maybe when they quit printing such informative and thought-provoking "Did you know" columns.

Did you know?Focus on the Family has 12 international associate offices - Africa, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica/Latin America and Spain Region, Egypt/Middle East Region, Indonesia, Ireland, ( Read more... )

This evening while I was mixing myself a Whiskey Sour I invented a new drink, which I call the "Whiskey Mustard." It's the same as a whiskey sour but you just replace all the non-whiskey ingredients with mustard. This drink is bound to be enjoyed by those people for whom the best part of getting drunk is puking.

I am frequently confounded by the sheer amount of time some people will take to make a purchase. You (I) would think that most of one’s time and stress in a store is spent in the browsing, choosing, etc portions, and that the actual cash-register money transaction would be a straight-forward relief ( Read more... )

I ate breakfast twice today. I often do this, even though by definition eating breakfast (literally ‘breaking the fast’) twice in one day is impossible, assuming the ‘fast’ to be a night’s rest. I do it because I like breakfast food the best out of all meal-specific foods. Sandwiches are fine but they’re no eggs and bacon ( Read more... )

The other day I went bicycling around Stanford campus to burn off energy.

To clear up some minor confusion: yes I did author the faux-Onion article a few entries back. I'm a huge fan of the Onion but a lot of their articles for a solid month were...well if you read my entry you know. I sent it to their San Francisco offices, not as an editorial, but as a reader complaint. I have not heard back, nor do I expect to ( Read more... )

I hate everybody. I like you, but I hate everybody. This is a gross generalization, but I maintain it. To keep this post from becoming a 7 page incoherent rant, I will Identify and give examples of the three characteristics I see in society that make me hate everybody.

Selfishness: who cares about anyone else, I’m taking my slice of the pie. I ( Read more... )

So, I have a lot of topics to write about but I have been BUSY with MUSIC ThINGS. Maybe I'll write two updates in two days but if not, I need to share this with you:

I'm not going to go with the "worst song ever" moniker here; objectively this is simply a weak effort by T-pain at a slow ballad. Now, I'm a fan of T-Pain, if only ironically. His ( Read more... )

I have been busy with music things recently, hence the no posts. However, the show I was set to debut in on Thursday has been cancelled (!), for a myriad of crazy reasons. I could write about them here, but I found something much more interesting. Via Amazon.com:

BERKELY, CA A recent string of front page articles written for widely circulated newspaper “The Onion” were clearly all written by 20-something white males, sources report.

Tell-tale signs, including a caustic tone toward Corporate America, a focus on the soul-crushing banality of modern life, and ridicule of human dating and courting rituals all ( Read more... )
