And Suddenly It All Became So Clear

I finally understand why Donnie Darko had to die. Or at least I think I do. Great movie.

My 70th Post

If a stalk of wheat chews on another piece of wheat, does that make it a cannibal?

Poor Mr. Snowman 2

You Spin Me Right Round Baby Right Round

So that I don't forget what type of replacement record needle I spent a long time looking for... I will be needing a 700-D7.

Death Cab for Zooey

Rumor has it that Ben Gibbard is now dating Zooey Deschanel. If this be the case, I really think that the two of them should consider re-doing The Postal Service's "Nothing Better."

Poor Mr. Snowman

Today while on campus, I saw something quite out of the ordinary. Somebody had built a snowman around a tree as to make it look like it had been impaled. I don't know how much longer he'll make it (it has pierced his snowman heart after all); perhaps I should take a picture before he melts. I mean, how often does one see a snowman who has been skewered by a tree right?

Saying I'd Look Like Wolfman Would Be Giving Myself Too Much Credit

I think if I were to grow out my facial hair, I would look more or less like that one dude from the Burbs. Hans is his name I believe. You know who I'm talking about.

Expecting Less Than a Miracle

No fail... Every time I cook up a batch of Macaroni and Cheese, it always tastes terrible.

A Lesson From Rambo

When you are stranded in a vast jungle and fleeing from the enemy with nothing but a claymore, you can always count on one thing for sure: the conveniently placed nuclear missile. Simply attach the claymore to the missile and you have the ultimate killing machine. It's that easy.

What I Do With My Time When I Should Be Doing Other Things

I recently joined a website that just launched called The Music, The Message. It's kind of neat because it allows users to come together and discuss music, submit reviews, etc. I recently submitted my first editorial entitled, "Life's All About Taking The Bad With The Good." If anyone is curious to see what it is all about, they are welcome to slip on over and check it out.

Falling Stars

If you ever catch a falling star, I suggest you heed the words of Perry Como and stick it in your pocket and save it for a rainy day. Because if you decide to eat it a flaming ball of gas may just burst from your chest where your heart once used to be.

Alice in Wonder WHAT!?

No disrespect to Johnny Depp, but I think I'll stick with the 1985 classic version that comes complete with "Through the Looking Glass."

To a New Year

I hope everyone who reads this had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. May this year be even better than the last.

Bring Back Vinyl

As my vinyl collection continues to grow, I would like to know just one thing: Will Mae ever press The Everglow? I would also like to express my disappointment in the fact that Brandnew has decided to delay their release of The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. On a brighter note, Freelance Whales has announced the release of Weathervanes in March. That should make an excellent addition to my collection.

What I Do Know

There is no problem that staring at a lake cannot solve.

The Tale of the Twins and the Terrible Uncle

Once upon a time Carson and Ashlyn wandered off and Uncle Matt set out to find them. He discovered them trying to figure out how to turn on the treadmill so he thought, "I will turn it on for them so that they can play on it a little bit. Nothing could possibly go wrong." To his surprise - and much to his dismay - poor Ashlyn's hand got sucked under the treadmill. It took him a few moments to figure out why she was crying. Fortunately, he was able to pry her hand loose; but not without it leaving a massive burn on her index finger. Thank goodness for mothers who manage to stay calm in situations like this. In his state of panic and shock, he wasn't sure what to do. Her mother Julie and Grandma attended to the wound while he sat back and watched. He felt like the worst uncle in the world in that moment, but fortunately Ashlyn would be quick to forgive after the incident.

(Carson was not harmed. But did start fake crying in hopes to gain an equal amount of attention as his older sister.)

What If It's All In My Head?

What if...

All I Wanted Was the Best for Our Lives My Dear

My blogging has slowed down exponentially over the last few weeks. I feel my mind has been functioning slower than normal, therefore resulting in a lack of random thoughts that I deem worthy to make known to the public. Hopefully things will pick up here again soon. But until then, I can't say really. I'm sure you'll all find a way to cope.

Why do you make it so hard to upload stinkin' pictures and wrap the text how I'd like around it?

For Troy

On the left... Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service).

On the right... Adam Young (Owl City).

Now do you believe me?

Question of the Day

At which point does a ledge become a cliff?

Conversations You Don't Want People to Hear When They Walk By

"So are you going to get yourself a Worgen?" Proceeded by sentences filled with the word "gangkeyed."

Road Etiquette

Going the speed limit when using the fast lane to pass someone on the right should be illegal.

Grateful To Be Alive

It is always humbling for me to read an obituary of someone younger.
