Don’t get in line with 25 and pretend you can’t count… The phrase “GRAND RE-OPENING” has always bothered me. A local grocery store currently has a sign out front announcing theirs and every time I pull into the parking lot I ask myself, “How can it be a re-opening if they never…
Sex and The Single Dad
Granny Spam–Money Bags
Do you have someone in your family who forwards you odd, obscure or funny things? Me too. Here’s a look at something my mom sent me this week… THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE WILL SEE AND LIVE THIS EVENT Calendar for July 2012
The countdown is on
The ball is about to drop. So to speak. Next week will be a big week around here. I’ve had some ideas bouncing around in my brain and I’m hittin’ ya with them in the upcoming days. Relax, the funny stuff like me watching a guy give his friend “a hand” at Costco will still…
Mr. Whipple would not approve
Would that be considered third base or was the guy trying to steal home? On Tuesday my brother and I were at work when our friend Sean rolled in to see if we wanted to head over to Costco for a cheap lunch. My brother said yes right away and I figured I would…
Pawprints in the sand
Pretty cool, huh? Recently I’ve been taking my dog, Lucy, to our local dog beach for a two-mile walk. It’s relaxing for me and Lucy gets some exercise and freedom to run off her leash. The exercise is good for me too, though I’m used to being off my leash. The last…
Granny Spam
According to Urban Dictionary, Granny Spam is: Unwanted, non-personal email received from a family member, friend or colleague. Granny spam has usually been forwarded several times and concerns such inane topics as childish jokes, dubious political propaganda, spurious computer security alerts or claims of monetary recompense in exchange for forwarding of said spam. …
Why math is important. Science too.
“I mean, some cars tires turn faster than others…” Chelsea Tuesday night my Muse texted me with a link to a YouTube video and implored me to watch it because, “The dumb bitch really had me laughing.” Having nothing better to do at the moment, I clicked on the link and proceeded to be surprised…
Elway, Manning, Tebow and why God hates me
He’s the kind of guy that you hate with a passion, until he comes to your team. I’m a Raider fan and make no apologies for that. I’ve loved the Raiders since I was a kid and I will until the day I die. I tell you this so you understand why I’m saying…
Stuff my mom forwarded me this week
I was sitting at my desk the other day when I received an e-mail from my mom. Then I got another. And then one more. All told I received three forwarded e-mails in a five minute period, which was actually a pretty slow day for her. After deleting the e-mails without reading them I had…
Kicking a Star in his land down under
I’m still unclear on the whole “Nicole Richie fashion icon” premise Tuesday night I turned on Fashion Star about halfway through. Don’t judge me for that until you hear my reasons. A) My brother and sister in law are both fashion designers B) I needed to figure out why the commercials touted…
Everybody Talks
Hey baby won’t you look my way I can be your new addiction Neon Trees I’m 46. Does liking Neon Trees make me an aging hipster or just a dude who likes good music? Now that I think about it I also like Silversun Pickups which probably means I might possibly be a bit…
Whitney’s greatest love of all
“Yeah,” I replied. “Pretty much.” By now everyone knows Whitney Houston died last month, most likely from overdosing on prescription pills. I began writing this post almost immediately after her death but my Muse talked me into waiting “a while” before doing so. I looked at a calendar this afternoon and noted that its been…
An amazing voice
Christina’s rack isn’t the focus of this post. Seriously. Dateline: Monday night Around 9:30 I began channel surfing and came across The Voice. I’ve never seen the show but I heard some dude singing and he sounded good. Damn good actually. With one of my favorite train wrecks (The Bachelor) cutting in…
Wordless Wednesday–totally cool
The Dodgers are insane
And in related news, rape victims are partially to blame. First things first, I am NOT a Dodgers fan. Nor am I a Giants fan. I grew up watching the Angels and have long loved the Cubs. This isn’t a story about baseball, but about ultra-wealthy greedy people who try to…
Daddio is in da hizzle
…but it’s my little slice of heaven and I’m gonna roll with it. I don’t know a damn thing about branding. I know I haven’t properly branded this site and if I did know how, I’m sure it would be more successful. Don’t get me wrong, I get good traffic, but there are a…
