Shattered Dreams

Watching HBO's "Big Love" has totally ruined my dream scenario of being a upper-middle class small business-owning polygamist.

Female Logistics

I've decided that men can suvive without a female figure to organize them. The confusion happens because we can't decode the woman's intricate filing process. For instance, I would be able to find that shirt I was looking for if I had put it away. The reason I ask my wife where it is everytime is because she's the one with the "system".

Mother's Day Question For Women

Would you rather:

1. Have a child on Mother's Day?

2.Be born on Mother's Day?

Some things to consider:

If you're born on Mother's Day your birthday will always fall on or close to Mother's Day meaning combined/dual purpose presents.

If you have a child on Mother's Day its birthday will always fall on or close to Mother's Day meaning you'll be dragging them to Chuck E. Cheese or planning parties on Mother's Day.

You Might Be An Urban Redneck...

New Products

Seen on a gas station reader board:
"New Vitamin Water Flavor Pringles 75c"
Mmmm... Sounds good.

Silent Vigil Day II

It has come to my attention that not everybody is firmiliar with Zagnuts. I would compare their candy relevance to a Clark bar or a Zero, maybe even a box of Crows or Wax Lips perhaps.

A Word About Injustice

A great injustice has been done. Its a good bet all of us has a vending machine at work or school. Imagine the horror if the vending Gods were to replace your favorite letter/number combo with something from the land of mis-fit candies...

This is the gripping reality that faced my good friend Jered today (check out his blog). His favorite candy of choice (Snickers.... mmmm satisfying) was mercilessly abducted and replaced with a Zagnut.

Yup, a Zagnut. (When was the last time you enjoyed the scrumptiousness of a creamy Zagnut?)

I am going to start a silent protest until the Zagnut is brought down. I might actually call my congressman.

Seriously now...

Someone asked me how I could joke about church/religion. My response was simple: I don't take organized religion, the church, Christians or myself seriously. I am seriously passionate about Jesus Christ and relating how He has affected my life, but I am perfectly ok with light-heartedly poking fun at the flawed man-made systems we've created like a 3 year-old's finger painting on God's refrigerator door.

Regardless of your opinion

Bad weather like this really makes me admire the dedication of smokers...

Daewoo?

Is it just me or does the Daewoo logo look like:
a.) a platinum jockstrap
b.) a picture of the uterus from health class

Ironic happenings: A tow truck

Add This To The Reasons I Hate Heelys

When there is snow on the ground and those bratty little twerps with their Heely's walk inside it leaves giant slush cubes all over the floor.

What a Rough Life

Life is tough when you're a cat. No job, no responsibilities. Sure I'm jealous.

Home Sweet Home

Nothing says welcome home like man's best friend. Back in Toledo, in the cold... Yea! [/sarcasm]

On The Plane Leaving New Mexico

Don't worry, we'll be back.

Should I Be Worried?

As we are pulling away from the gate at the Albuquerque Airport. This is the picture that came out like an ominous warning that we shouldn't be leaving... Odd.

Stress Test

While on my New Mexico trip I just noticed that my fingernails are super long. If you know anything about me you know I bite off any hint of nails all the time... New Mexico has a calming effect on me I guess.

The Continental Divide

So how can they really tell the exact spot where the country is divided?

The Great Kiva

Imagine 3000 years ago, worshiping in this atmosphere. Live for the people here was ultimatley interconnected. God, nature, people were all one.

Roots

So far my trip to New Mexico has been a very holistic experience. Culturally I engaged in local sketch theatre. Environmentally i've returned to my roots.  Simple things that I use to do for conservation.  When brushing you teeth or washing your hands turn off the water until you need it.  When you live in an area where conservation is key to your immediate survival, the environment is at the forefront of your thinking.  Hopefully I can bring some of these concepts back to my mid-western life.
