Celebrating My 25th Blog!!!

I've decided to celebrate 25 blogs of blogging excellence, with a blog to commemorate my 25th blog. Even if this was a bad idea, there's no turning back now. Comingtoyaaaahaaaa!

I Burnt My Left Index Finger Again!

This time peeling back the skin of some boiled Bratwurst.

Some Soundly Advice

When eating fresh out of the oven Cheese Pull-Aparts from the Pie, if the hot grease from the cheese happens to drip onto your left index finger, don't just let it fester there. Take the time to wipe it off and wash it down with cold water if necessary.

Humility and Impartiality - Assuming Jane Austin's Intent of the Word Prejudice was Geared Toward Bias

When was the exact moment that Mr. Darcy realized that he was falling for Miss Elizabeth? Was it when he first laid eyes on her? When he told Bingley that the eldest Miss Bennet was the only good looking girl at the ball, was he simply just fronting? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? I'm afraid one's chances of knowing the answer to either are one and the same.

When We Dance It Looks Just Like Fire

There's the sound of sirens again. Logan Cops skeeve.

Home Sweet Home

In the past week, I have been in sleeping limbo. Saturday it was Vancouver Canada on a floor. Monday and Tuesday Seattle (One of those nights spent sleeping on the floor as well). Wednesday/Thursday Spokane, WA. Friday, a Moose Mountain Lodge in the mountains of Utah and a hammock. I'm beat from lack of a good night's sleep.

Peter Sellers

It's just past midnight, and I can't help but feel like I'm in a laundry mat. As I wait for my clothes to finish drying (resulting in what I hope will lead to an end in packing), I reflect on the events that transpired throughout the day; some of puzzlement, fun filled activities, and heartbreak. But more importantly... Which t.v. dinner is best: Spaghetti and Meatballs or Turkey Meal? And will the slug I found in our kitchen and swept outside with a broom survive?

Running With Scissors Down the Stairs

I just now realize -- after just having participated in the above mentioned activity -- that it's probably not the smartest idea.

Hit the One in the Middle

Rocky IV is a great movie! But let us not forget about Rocky Balboa's infamous speech that played a major role in bringing down the iron curtain just years later resulting in the Soviet Union's demise (Guess I should have paid more attention in History class because I obviously missed that one). What a speech! Seriously. Where would the world be today without it?

One of Life's Little Secrets

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?

Canada

America's top hat. Or at least that's what some might say. I'll never quite figure out the likes of zed, chesterfield, and wash room. And what's the deal with the green flashing traffic lights? Finally, the Queen of England. Let her go. Just let her go.

Lament

Oh shins! That doth now hurt! Why did I smack thee into the bedside? Twas an accident. Wilt thou ever recover?

You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello

The Beatles. A band that I'd probably have more respect for if they didn't sell out their original drummer Pete Best for whatever reason unbeknownst to the general public. Paul claims it was because they were impressed with Ringo Starr's druming. Seriously!? Come on! Everyone knows that Ringo's lack of talent makes him arguably the worst drummer to walk planet Earth.

Yearning

I've had this sudden urge to listen to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack all day today, but now that I'm finally home, that desire has seemingly disappeared. Maybe I'll force myself to listen to it before I go to bed tonight.

Somewhere Only We Know

I think Lifehouse does an awesome job covering this gem originally released by Keane. Check it out for yourselves.

Just Some Kids From Seattle With a Little Time on Their Hands

On August 3rd, 2009, six hoodlums (who are most assuredly never up to any good) would assemble together with nothing but pizza, some Root bear, Super Mario Brothers 1, 2, and 3 and one common goal: to beat the three games back to back in one night. Needless to say, the daunting task in which they chose to undertake was indeed a success and completed in just under 3-1/2 hours.

I Ain't Fraid of No Ghosts

I'd hate to be the person in Ghosbusters that had to reorganize the card catalog and clean up the mess that ghost made in the Library.

Thesaurus

I remember the first time I used a Thesaurus. It was in sixth grade that I was introduced to one, and I was so excited about making my sentences sound intellectual that I would choose the wrong synonym. When I got my papers back, written on them -- in red ink -- would be something like, "This word doesn't fit with this sentence." Fortunately, I've learned since to cross reference words I'm not sure about with its definition from a dictionary. Why didn't they just tell me to do that in the first place? Or maybe they did...
