A good weekend

Jamila was here and that was great. There’s no need to recap all the random things we did, but the major accomplishment was that we finally got off our collective butts and started looking at homes.
As it turned out, my current landlord is looking to unload a marvelous 3-story house down the street. It’s wonderful [...]

Special Announcement, pt. 2

oceanisdrowning’s “Taken For Granted” is in final stages of consideration for inclusion on some weird compilation called “Rock 4 Life”.
Whoa.

Why I completely suck at blogging…

Preamble:
This document explains why I suck at blogging.
Narrative:
So…here it is, the answer to the burning question of why I suck. And, well, I truly do suck at blogging; there’s no doubt about it.
Summary:
I suck because:
1. I’m too lazy to pepper my entries with links
2. I don’t care to write techy entries about techy stuff
3. [...]

The only route available has me leaving at 8:18 am (I’d already be late for work by then) and arriving nearly a mile away [...]

I JUST STOLE YOUR FISH

“So, about the day I mistakenly walked into a strip bar in the ‘hood…”
Anyway. I spent a lot of my weekend making bricks out [...]

So, I’ve been at my new job for about three weeks now. If I had to summarize it in one word, I’d just say “busy”.
One thing I’m becoming increasingly more intrigued about is how silly Search Engine Optimization is. I guess the end result is great if you’re looking to make tons of cash, but [...]

A true story…

So last night I decided to go to Pizza Hut. I’m not sure if you’ve been paying attention or not, but things in the fast-food world seem to have shifted so that the laziest of all customers get the highest priority. What I mean is that you get served faster in drive-through or by getting [...]
