Legos and My Quarter-Life Crisis
I have been jokingly using the term “quarter-life crisis” ever since I started buying NES games again, but I just learned that this is an actual term. Who knew?
I’m beginning to notice quite a few signs that I’m experiencing a strange phase of my life, not the least of which being my strong desire, despite [...]
Old News, but….
This video is like 7 months old, but I just discovered it today, and it had me in tears at work. I could not stop watching it, and had to bury my face in my arms every time to keep from laughing out loud. This video demonstrates Robosapien’s impressive bowling skills.
The best part is how [...]

My friend Justin just bought a scooter and is totally living the lifestyle. I’ll let the photos fill in the blanks.
Read More..>>I’m Still Not Psychic
Several months ago I had a not-so-prophetic dream about Prince dying in a car wreck. Well I recently exercised my psychic ability again this week, only to reassure myself that psychic powers are not real.
On March 13th, at exactly 12:08PM, I received a phone call from the dudes, which I missed, because 12:08PM is really [...]

I thought those must have been taken with some wacky equipment, and decided to see how they were made. I was surprised to discover that making them [...]
Read More..>>It’s Over
Well, Amanda and I broke up yesterday. The shitty thing about the whole situation is that both of us knew from the get-go that ultimately, nothing could ever come of our relationship, that we would end up breaking each other’s hearts and well…here we are. Whee. Opposites may attract, but they definitely do not build [...]
Read More..>>New Hard Drive
Though I have four of them already, my hard drive situation isn’t looking so good: I’m down to just under 200gbs free. Now that may sound like a lot, but when you collect software, ROMs and ISOs, TV series, full length movies, skate videos, and dozens of albums a month…and add to that a new [...]
Read More..>>Selling Computers on the Side?
Okay, so since I work at a want ads paper, and can place ads for free, I’ve been trying to come up with ways to take advantage of this. Well I really only have like two semi-marketable skills, so I thought that maybe I could build budget computers and sell them at a profit. I’ve [...]
