My sister’s kids, 7 & 4, jointly own a Nintendo Wii console. They’re pretty good, so I can usually expect to lose when I play against them… but not at boxing! For several rounds they took turns winning flawless victories against me. I was exhausted and sweaty when I realized what was going wrong. To [...]

I once had a blog titled My Day Off, and It went a lil’ something like this:

“ 10/3/07 – An old schoolmate of mine plays the guitar and sings every day from 11am to 2pm at BB Kings House of Blues. I hadn’t seen him in a few years. I’m proud to see that he is [...]

Tom’s Demise is a not-for-profit satirical video created in an educational setting. The year was 2005 when Tom’s Demise came to fruition in Wayne Dyer’s animation class. I had had this idea brewing for quite some time: Hanna/Barbera’s characters, Tom and Jerry, to the tune of David Bowie’s Space Oddity. It took four weeks to [...]

Pep Boys mailed me a $15 coupon. I could’ve bought windshield wipers, but I didn’t. I had big ideas for this ooga horn. Heres a schematic diagram I dreamt up; my patented recipe for ooga goodness. Seems simple enough, but I was enlightened by the guys at Radio Shack. They explained that this scenario is [...]

A.D. 2000, I took a year-long vacation to Memphis, TN. While there I used a Pentax SLR with a bit of Ilford PF4 125 to shoot some photos of an neat post-apocalyptic themed hangout near the Wonderbread factory. Now, in late August of 2009, at my parents’ house I have found the negatives. Of which [...]

On the road to North Carolina I linked up with an udder-tech from the Mayfield dairy farm. There was no internet access, so for entertainment we burned a pile of wood. The house is haunted. One way [...]

If you’re like me and carry a pocket knife, I highly recommend having it sharpened by Mennonites (at the flea market in Nashville, TN). They do a great job at a reasonable rate; $1 per blade. Do not question the quality of the craftsmanship. These are serious folk who’ve dedicated their lives to the sharpening [...]
