Got a funny story for you.
One of my friends from Beloit, Leslie (who I know I’ve mentioned before, and, uh, if my pictures were up I’d point you towards a picture of her), dated a guy a couple of years ago. They dated for a long time, close to a year, until her boyfriend [...]

Man, I tried to exercise yeterday, but it just didn’t work. I went about 10 minutes on the exercise machine downstairs (The Gazelle®!), but I had to stop because my feet hurt too much, even through the padding of my Band-Aids, a thick pair of socks, and cross-training shoes. Ow. Well, at [...]

Apologies for not posting earlier, but I really had little reason to post. I’ll start towards the beginning, though.
The band that my friend Mike is in was pretty good, actually. My sister and I split some onion rings and had a couplr of beers, which thankfully have been added since the last time [...]

Last night at that brewery was fanTAStic! My Dad and I got there around 4:40, 20 minutes before the tour was to begin, and so we ordered a couple of pints while we waited. The man who was going to give the tour was nice enough to let us know that we didn’t [...]

Today should be a fun day. I’m meeting my Dad downtown this afternoon and we’re going to make a run through the Bridgeport brewery down in the Pearl District of Portland. Not only do we get free beer at the end of the tour, but I’ve heard that the brewery also sell some [...]

I ran a couple of errands yesterday (including mailing out another job application) and talked with Mike, my friend who stood me up last week at McMenamin’s when we were supposed to have a beer or two. Turns out he had gone home after work and then his car wouldn’t start, but he couldn’t [...]

Well I sure feel a lot better. I went to bed at midnight last night, making my time up at a grand total of 38 hours, which is a few more than I really wanted. I didn’t take the sleeping pill after all and decided to let my body get natural sleep, and [...]

Holy cow today sucked. It wasn’t anything in particular, just how I felt all day. After I finished up my web page entry last night, I watched “Monk” and “Wings” and then tried to go to bed around 1:30. I tossed and turned, got too hot, too cold, started coughing, because hot [...]

My Mom and I finally got to go see “Pirates of the Caribbean” today, and it was everything I expected it to be: lots of fun, great swashbuckling, but generally overrated as to how good it was. Johnny Depp seemed like he was drunk throughout most of it, but heck, that’s OK. He [...]

Ever have one of those days that just defies explanation, reason, and everythin g you know? Yeah, that wasn’t Tuesday. I literally had nothing to say so I didn’t say anything at all. Wednesdsay was much better. For some reason my sleep patterns got screwed up and I woke up at [...]

All these years of watching television have filled my head with crap like “Push yourself to the limits” and other athletic shoe crap. Stupid shoe companies. I’m using the same crosstraining shoes I’ve had for the last six years or so, and while I’m thinking about a new pair in the future, I’m [...]

Right now I’m watching the future governor of California on TBS in his breakout role in “The Terminator.” Honestly, I could care less if he wins the recall election in October. There’s been such a big deal made about the circus in California, but actually, I think he’s a pretty good guy. [...]

You know, I’m not really certain where I go wrong. I’ve mentioned the fracas with my friend who decided they were too good for me a few times, and I chalked that up to them being a psycho (a prognosis agreed upon by several people when given the facts), but after mulling it over, [...]

So I’m sitting at home today, all showered and dry after going for a jog in the heat and sun this afternoon (I know, I know, you don’t have to say that I shouldn’t exercise outside during the day), sitting in my beanbag chair waiting for “La Femme Nikita” to start, and the phone rings. [...]

There’s an old expression, “Try something new every day.” Well, I don’t know if it’s actually an expression, but it’s at least a SAYING that I’ve heard before. Anyhow, today I decided to try both something new and something new to eat: hummus. As someone put it, “Are you planning on cutting [...]
