mini soda update

Pete the pit bull got dropped off at the PSPCA a few days before I had to leave for Minnesota. I’ll miss Pete. They totally wanted me to drop him off at this other place that is well known for holding pit bulls for two days and then putting them to sleep. Forget that! I […]

kfc test marketing chicken bowls

My good buddies Joel and Duc were down for some KFC cookin’ today. We planned an 11:30 AM trip away from The Big Insurance Company where I consult and they work. Actually, I work, too. Okay, that’s confusing. Moving on. I still call KFC Kentucky Fried Chicken regardless of what their marketing department thinks. How […]

pete the pit bull

I was with Heather today traveling to Home Depot when we spotted this emaciated chocolate brown pit bull walking along Front Street. I rarely see stray dogs around here so it was quite shocking to see this poor little pooch. I am definitely affected by all the negative media coverage that pit bulls have received […]

Check out these statistics and earnings compared to the […]

my pinball daze

Check out this guy who linked to my Google Video submission where I’m playing pinball on my three pinball machines. I miss those machines. My Alien Poker machine in the basement is still in need of some diode checking love. Soon. Very soon.

happy birthday chew-chew

Today’s is Chew-Chew’s 7th birthday. That’s 49 years old in dog years. I can’t believe he’s already over the hill. This morning he got three snacks after our morning walk instead of the usual one. I plan to head to Barcelona, Spain in June with my dad. We’re staying at the Barcelo Atenea Mar hotel. […]

how do tattoo artists practice?

I went to Nocturne last night after a lot of mental duress involving what I should wear and whether or not I’d have fun going solo. I had fun. I danced my ass off, actually. It’s still in the club. I did this after I had a tough workout involving deadlifts and lunges. Those two […]

embedding google video is easy

Here’s my slightly revised podcast episode one. It’s now only nine minutes long. I noticed I was repeating myself a lot, there were some parts that were boring, and I needed to punch up the funny in the captions. Also, I made a mistake with the dates here and there. 2006. So confusing! I updated […]

feeling minnesota

No, I’m not referring to the Keanu Reeves flick released in 1996. I’m talking about picking up and moving to work in MN through the end of the year. It’s not really moving. Granted, I have a lot of stuff that I’ve ferried to Philadelphia from Houston, but I’m going to UPS everything to wherever […]
