The next three pictures will get progressively worse, depending on how easily you are disturbed. It will, however, reveal something about me you probably didn't know. 1. Apparently, even dogs blink when you snap the shutter. 2. Lasagna is still too fun to contain. 3. Turtles and chopsaws don't mix. I told you so. The dude in the car was just trying to be like me. Anyways, it's been

Normally, we have to get pretty pissed about something in order to blog about it, right? I'm attempting to turn the tide and actually blog about something positive (besides the generic NyQuil - sweet, sweet, non-congested angel of sleep!). I picked up 4 of these drill bits on Amazon a couple weeks ago when I was in a shopping frenzy: http://www.amazon.com/WoodOwl-03807-Tri-Cut-18-Inch-Chipper/

I've ranted before about how bad our house is, but I realized today that nobody out there understands the degree of poor craftsmanship involved. Now granted, the main problems are; The house is oldThe house is on a poor foundation which itself rests on hydraulic clay (that expands and contracts with, um, copious amounts of rain).The house is single wall construction There's very little drywall or

Which in case you're wondering, is how I handle having a nasty cold. So bad I had to break out the generic Safeway brand NyQuil on its ass. That slowed it down, but it continues to punch back. Waaaa. I'm ready for my nap.

I came home today to find that my wife had been perusing the web on my rig. No big deal. She has her own computer, but mine is usually running or more convenient. What I found was very disturbing though. Many, many searches for "pink beanbags." Apparently, she has some decoration ideas for our (~18 month old) daughter's room. Ugh. Pink already? Yet again I will be condemned to the "pink" isle at

Anyone who works with computers long enough knows that you have to make backups. Backups of everything. Backups of backups. I was up until about 3AM the other night trying to get my gallery running right again. My control panel, like most computers or programs I come into contact with, was having issues and although I tried, it would not properly back up my albums. So, when I lost my patience and

Things in Hawaii are, a little different. You think you know this already and are prepared for most things, but sometimes you come across stuff and say, "What?!" For instance, most places have county fairs, which have a small carnival, competitions, animal auctions, etc, and it lasts for at least a week or two. Since the island of Oahu falls under the "city and county of Honolulu," it's not quite

I think of all kinds of great stuff to write about during the day, but I'm human and most is either forgotten or I just can't find the time or effort to post about it by the evening. Those who know me are aware of my infatuation with Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. There are certainly many other notables, as I really love music, but those two are my top pair. If they ever did a duet I might just,

After probably over a year of voyeuristic trolling my good friend Gina's blog, I got tired of leaving semi-anonymous responses and started up my own blogger account. Being the ultra customizer that I am, I couldn't just do a normal blog though. Nope, I jumped head-first into hosting the blog on my own website/server. So far the only major benefit has been that I can show you really huge pictures

I just flew my little 10-year-old chatterbox back home to Kentucky, and after an enormous sigh of relief, the house suddenly feels a little empty. Since the 1 year old goes "night-night" around 7:00, I now have the evenings back to goof off briefly before collapsing in my bed from work/life induced exhaustion. But first I have to finish my book. Let me preface this. I used to read like a banshee

I used to have "lifetime upgrades" and a yearly subscription to MusicMatch Jukebox and MusicMatch radio. I used it not only for the Jukebox, but for all of my online radio listening. It was a great product, but slowly became stagnant after being bought out by Yahoo! Music. I didn't care for that too much. I didn't like the deletion of some of their best features and having every aspect of my

Recently someone called me "very liberal" on my stance that homosexuals should be allowed to get married (seriously people, how is it going to hurt you?). Liberal? Really? That's rather sad. We may be a nation with a majority of Christians, but that does not mean that our laws should be based explicitly from the Bible. You don't complain when Atheists are forced into a religious ritual like

Our trip to San Diego was fun overall. I spent two days doing tenant improvements on our rental there, and Sunday we celebrated my wife's 30th birthday with a big surprise party, so I didn't get to get out and do, well, anything. That's not so much of a gripe though. We all got to spend time with the in-laws including my daughter's cousin. Contrary to pop culture, I actually really like all of my

We're headed to the mainland (not "The States." Hawaii is not only a state, it is the southernmost state, so how the continental US is the "lower 48" is beyond me...) for a few days for a family get-together. I'll have computer access, but I don't want to be attached to it (too badly). I'll see about posting some good stories upon my return. If I can't, then all you'll get will be bad stories. ;p

Nothing new to those who know me in real life. I've always gotten my hair cut in styles that allowed me to run a comb through it once in the morning and leave it alone. I get lost when it comes to my girls though. I'll admit it, when they spend time with just me, they don't enjoy the benefits of high fashion. We do have plenty of fun though. Today we had some time for dress up. And, since

Not only am I amazed at myself, I'm amazed with you. You're obviously just as bored as me!! Some people have actually linked to me.
