9 Jan 2010For Christmas, I got my brother a twin pack of Nutella, three used belt buckles and an 8×10 photograph of George Brett. Don’t worry, it was framed. He got me three fantastic watches that I kind of want to wear all at the same time, if it weren’t for looking like I was trying to [...]
Tonight, mi familia and I had a date involving dropping off Christmas donations and hamburgers full of molten lava cheese, thanks to the fine folks at Matt’s Bar.
Jenni, Matt, Stephanie and I had adopted a family via The Aliveness Project. Since Jenni and Matt are somewhere in the Southern Caribbean right now, I volunteered to [...]
Were you to encounter a ninja, they would kick your everlovin’ ass.
I love The General. A lot. And I love the reasoning that it takes to get The Kid to understand things. Especially how he’s not a ninja. Clearly dressing as Chuck Norris/Walker Texas, Ranger for Halloween has gone to his head.
Pride was like, two weeks ago, so I’m a little behind. We’ve been out of town and stuff!
Here are my favorite photos from the weekend:
And, for the finale:
The Boy turned 12 at the end of May. After many, many in depth conversations between The General and I, we ended up getting him a cell phone for his birthday. The biggest pro for me was that we don’t have a landline, so anytime we leave The Boy at home alone, we have no [...]

The General has [...]

12 May 2009Ever since I started taking Ritalin, I’ve been a kitchen cleaning machine on Saturday mornings. I get up at 8 or so, pop in my 20mg of Ritalin, get dressed (shoes included!) and start cleaning my fingers to the bone. Nobody made me start doing it – I just did it a few weeks ago. [...]

27 Apr 2009This is Peeka! She’s a six (or so) year old Pekignese. And, no, she’s not winking at you. She only has one eye.
A few weeks ago, The General and I were at the St. Anthony Park Dog Park letting Kentucky and Riley chase each other around a gigantic fenced area. Kentucky was happily chasing other [...]

26 Apr 2009Me: I’m awesome. My work is awesome (I’m still not sure how I landed the perfect role for me) and this coming week will mark 1 year being there for me. I’m seeing a therapist weekly and my desire to smash my face against restaurant windows while happy hour patrons are happily munching away on [...]

12 Apr 2009I honestly do have a lot of other things to talk about, but mainly all I do at home anymore is play with my Wii. And, man, if I was a dude, there’d be so many more implications that could mean and so many more off-color jokes. Especially considering I call it the Wii-Wii a [...]
