2/16 - “White sneakers prove mom wrong”

Growing up I did have some white sneakers, but more often than not my sneakers had logos/designs on them.  What I’m saying is that I’ve never really owned pure white sneakers.
My mom always told me, “White sneakers never stay clean.”   Other times she was more straight forward, “You are a slob and you’ll never take [...]

2/4 - “How to improve Groundhog Day”

Groundhog Day is pretty much a stupid and pointless holiday.  It’s filled with moronic superstition, but even worse we don’t even get off of school/work for it!
The stakes on Groundhog Day aren’t very high.  I say we up the ante.
If the groundhog does not see his shadow, it’s all good.  Winter will soon be over.
However, [...]

12/30 - “Hard to shop for”

“You know you’re really hard to shop for.”
“I know.  I’m hard to shop for.”
Those phrases above are clearly bullshit phrases.  Nobody is really that hard to shop for.   The reason for this is that EVERYONE likes getting gifts.   Assuming you don’t give someone something they already have, or give them some cheap piece of shit, [...]

12/14 - “A snowman is atheist”

During this holiday season, gifts are exchanged amongst those not only who celebrate Christmas, but those who celebrate Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and even “other”/nothing.
Whether it’s a greeting card or wrapping paper, if it has an image of a snowman on it, you’re in good shape to not offend anyone.  Apparently, a snowman has no religious or [...]

12/8 - “Eggnog sucks”

Okay, I’ll admit I haven’t sipped any yet this holiday season, but I can recall trying it in the past and not really being into it.   If I had liked back then, I’m sure I would be all about it these days.
Let’s think about this for a second though.  Eggnog is typically associated with the [...]

12/2 - “Apparently my co-workers like me”

I was out of work all of last week, and last Monday the whole office participated in a fun Thanksgiving activity.  Every person here wrote down next to every other co-worker’s name a “nice” thing to say about them.  The organizer then compiled a separate sheet for each of the participants, that [...]

10/26 - “Wear a Halloween costume, thanks”

With Halloween coming up this weekend, I have some thoughts about costumes.  I encourage everybody to dress up for Halloween, particularly adults.  I mean, if you’re an outgoing person who takes a lot of fashion risks, it’s not as crucial for you to dress up.
I’m more referring to those like myself — 9 to 5 [...]

10/7 - “Halloween-themed parks scare me”

Whether it’s Universal Studios around Halloween time, or it’s Knott’s Scary Farm, I’m not all that afraid of people dressed up as all sorts of ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and monsters.  You’ve seen this.
Many parks/fairs/etc will have these characters roaming the park to get the crowds into the Halloween spirit.  Sure, most of these creatures are [...]

7/6 - “Ghosts of our forefathers in Whole Foods”

I’ve made no bones about basically despising psychics and horoscopes, but that doesn’t mean I too can’t appreciate a meaningless coincidence once in a while.  I attended a BBQ this past July 4th, and here’s one of the host’s shopping receipts from earlier in the day….
1776.
Oooooooooh. Aaaaaaaaaaaah

7/4 - “Fireworks on TV, lol”

Quick July 4th holiday edition!  There are some things that translate well to television, and there are other things that just don’t.  For example, I’d be willing to bet that the majority of people would say that watching football on television is more enjoyable than watching it live. — unless you have spectacular seats or [...]
