Missing memories
I was cleaning this weekend and came across one of my old high school yearbooks. I’m not one to reminisce about high school on a regular basis, but it’s certainly handy for Facebook friend requests. I can’t remember half the people that supposedly knew me back then. While flipping through the pages, I came across [...]
Simplify Media is Simply Divine
I sat in a coffee shop today and browsed the music on a friend’s laptop. I browsed by albums for a while but eventually found Ben Folds new album by an artist search. I queued up the music and sat there listening to the tracks while sipping my Splenda-filled jolt of caffeine. Of course all [...]

Delightful Apathy
I saw a man pushing a baby stroller with a toddler down the road today with his left hand and carrying a running weed trimmer in his right hand. He was either nuts or some sort of Nanny / Landscaper hybrid. Crazy or not, I drove away blissfully indifferent of the Cabbage Patch Kidnapper. I [...]
