already planning for christmas ‘10
In: Family
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 [...]
family night at the (not really a) bar
17 Dec 2009Tonight, 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 [...]
best advice today
18 Nov 2009Were 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.
pictures from pride
7 Jul 2009Pride 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:
a 12 year old with a phone
21 Jun 2009The 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 [...]
at least i can sleep in the middle

3 Jun 2009When you’re with someone for over a year and haven’t really spent a single night apart (as least that I can remember), it’s pretty weird when you have to see the person off for the night and then have to figure out what to do with your time until you go to sleep.
The General has [...]
so domesticated it’s scary

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. [...]
meet peeka
In: Family| Foster Pets
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 [...]
a large and awesome update
In: Apartment Life| Family| Twitterpated
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 [...]
i love you, wii
In: Apartment Life| Family| Get Healthy
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 [...]
