Time, constant and always ticking has a funny way of distorting itself in our memoriesl.  We say our kids grow up too fast or that the Dot Com bubble seems like ages ago, yet there are people alive in America today who grew up without planes or cars, let alone satellite, microwaves, and iPods.  The [...]

It’s that time of year again.  It’s our annual pilgrimage.  Just as the grizzlies of Yellowstone migrate to the upper elevations of the Absaroka in search of hearty pine nuts before winter takes hold, we humans too have a migration.  Our migration comes in many forms but the end result is the same.  Planes, trains, [...]

This blog is flat lining.  It’s consumption of posts relating to vague humor and bowel movements have clogged its relevance arteries.  The Aquapasture bandwith is slowly constricted with the plaque of obscure analogies and the occasional Oprah reference.  So, do I grab the defibrillator and give it a second chance or order a deep fried [...]

I’m Hungry

My appetite for something  extraordinary makes my stomach groan like an engine trying to turn over.  Obviously I haven’t been putting the right kind of fuel in my engine.  It sits stalled out in a pasture with the grasses slowly growing and creeping.  The cranial engine sits rusting, grasses slowly reclaiming it, never to run [...]

Every now and then you have a ride that you’ll remember for a while.  A ride when the weather, the bike, the stamina, and the setting all kick some serious ass.  My DIY projects were thwarted by faulty plumbing parts.  The 80 degree partly cloudy weather also curb stomped my home improvement ambition.  A few [...]

Almost ko’d

I got owned last night.   My closet dropped me like a call on an AT&T cellie.  Apparently I still put on my sweats like a 5 year old.  I set them on the ground, put each foot in, grab the waist band.  Then I squat down building tension.  In a sudden move I burst [...]

As the saying goes, “Whatever floats your boat.”  If your boat isn’t floating you’ll end up sinking into a miserable human being.  So find what will keep you afloat.  For some adrenaline junkies it’s jumping off a cliff in a wing suit.  At the other end of the scale is the guy who’s idea of [...]

I don’t think of myself as brilliant, skolarly (intentionally misspelled), or anything other than ordinary.  Proudly though, I think I have common sense.  The sense to make decisions, solve problems and function in everyday society.  Sadly, though, with everyday I encounter more stupid people. The image of the Far Side cartoon of the guy pushing [...]

I’d take Michael Keaton making inappropriate advances to ladies any day over this guy on my doorstep.

With the health-care debate heating up, my mind wanders to find something the government runs efficiently.  After four light years of pondering I couldn’t find anything so I settled on the United States Postal Service.  I believe it’s a applicable comparison to private and public health-care options.  On one side you have FedEx and UPS, on the [...]

No mas tweets

I’ve been clean for about 3 days now.  No not the nose snow, I’m talking about Twitter.  I hopped on board in early 08 thanks to a recommendation from a friend in the biz.  At first, like succeeding in cook offs it all seemed foreign to me.  But soon I was throwing out “tweets” like a Shriner [...]

In my time I’ve bought and sold a few things via Craigslist.  There’s no doubt it’s the best way to buy and sell used goods and…er services.  For the record I’ve never bought or sold “services” off Craigslist.   Back to the goods.  With going to a strangers house or having them come to yours, [...]

I am moving this post off of its own page and replacing it with a page called Power Rankings.  Here I’ll rank my top activities, interests, peeps, etc in my life on a semi weekly basis.  Seeing nobody reads this waste of internet space, the Power Rankings are meant purely for my own reference of [...]

The year was 1994 and David Ball catapulted to #2 on the charts with “Thinkin Problem”  While it was a money song I refrain from calling Ball a one hit wonder.  I only classify hits as reaching #1 on the charts.  I mention this tune because I have a thinkin problem, although it isn’t about [...]

Blast from the past.  For those of you who new me in college you might remember me hunched over an old PC playing this game hours on end.  Needless to say I was a hit with the ladies.  By ‘hit” I mean ‘nerd”.  You can download the ingredients for the nerd life here.  For my [...]
