Too Fat To Fish Review
I just finished reading Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish and whatever sympathy i may have had for the former Stern Show comic is now totally gone. If you loved Artie on the show, then i would recommend NOT picking up this book. In a nutshell, Artie is a drug addict. Odds are, even after...
The iPad
So i finally have my iPad and am actually using it to write this blog post. I have a lot of thoughts and theories about it, some of which i have not really seen written about before. Of course, i also have the obligatory “omfg this thing is awesome” commentary too but i I’ll refrain...
Don’t Be Evil huh?
I actually lost respect for Google a long time ago. Back when I worked at TCCWCBN (The Career College Which Can’t Be Named) we spent about 300k a month on Google Adwords. Back then, that was more than almost every online retailer was spending with Google. We’re talking like, 8 years ago, when Google Adwords...
Politics sucks
Lately i have become increasingly disillusioned with the state of, well, our entire government and country. It just seems to me that a 50/50 split between liberals and conservatives is absolutely devastating to our ability to get anything done, or even more fundamentally, get along with each other. I don’t remember there being a time...
Boring blogging
Lately my blog posts have become very boring. Too much self censorship and talking about life’s mundane details. I’m constantly engaged in an internal battle where I worry about being perceived as only writing negatively about things. But, as i go back and read my own writings, it is the rants that are the most...
House Chores
Its been about 3 weeks since Kelly moved up to Salem, and we are trying to settle into a normal routine here in Oregon. Today we did some yard work. It was one of the first days in recent memory that didn’t rain, so it made for a great opportunity to get outside and tidy...
Officially moved in
The past few days have seen us go from a two story house in Phoenix, AZ to a one story (much smaller) house in Salem, OR. The process of un-boxing has commenced and the place is starting to look a little more like home. Observations: Love the neighborhood and the back yard, especially. We live...
Back to Salem, for good
Its been a grueling past couple of days. The last I wrote, I was heading back to Phoenix to help move my wife and the 2 dogs up to Oregon. When I arrived at the house, there was quite simply a staggering amount of work left to be done. My wife had done a lot,...
Heading back to Phoenix, to Phoenix, to Phoenix
Getting ready to pack up my backpack with 2 changes of clothes and fly back to Phoenix for a day. I’d imagine it is going to be weird on a number of different levels: 1. I haven’t seen my house in about 2 months 2. I haven’t seen my dogs in about 2 months 3....
Movies – a great cure for boredom
I’ve been watching a lot of movies these past few days and I must say, they are a great cure for being alone and mostly bored. Hurt Locker, recipient of like 9 academy awards tonight, was a great flick. I remember vaguely seeing some of the promotion for it when it came out but dismissed...
The move is afoot
For my wife Kelly! We finally rented our place in Phoenix. It took about a month and a half, and she worked her ass off but finally we found some tenants we were comfortable enough to leave our place with while we pack up the truck and move to Oregon. Obviously, i am super excited...
Circle Jerk Free
I swear I am not in a bad mood, but I’ve got a lot of negative things to say today for some reason. Although i rarely ever self-censor my writing or speech, even to clients when i was working in an agency, I tended to not go out of my way to really point out...
