Mindless Self Indulgence

I’m not entirely sure when our society reached its current level of obsession with the undead and/or cursed. With millions of Twilighters falling in love with Native American Werewolves and sparkly, mega-whiny “vampires” and millions of others enthralled with zombies and the coming zombie apocalypse, it’s as if we’ve lost all interest in the living.

Groceries

I love food. I love to eat, cook, taste, attempt, bake [insert other verbs associated with food]… With that said you all surely understand how important groceries are to me. I’m not a snob by any means. I have no problem buying store brand items. I’ve yet to notice a difference when I’m dealing with [...]

I Am Indefatigable.

It’s been more than ten days since my last post here. I used to never want to write a blog without having something meaningful to say, but who’s to say that I won’t develop a meaningful thought while catching my readers up on everythng? Let’s see where this goes! Foremost, I’ve been using my iPhone [...]

So Close Now…

Deafened by the cacophony rising from 360 degrees of larynges celebrating the day. Blinded by anxiety ridden stomach aches. Silent as a ninja, because that’s what I do best in stressful situations. Grabbed the heavy cardboard tube, shook a faceless hand, smiled for the camera, finished. This moment was the culmination of three years grueling [...]

Best Scam E-Mail Ever!

I found this in my inbox this morning. These “send me your info, I’ll send you $X million” letters aren’t new. It amazes me that someone would go for this, but then again it’s a lot of money. It’s pretty tempting just to see if it could be real! However I have trouble responding to [...]

Dear Rude E-Mailer:

Dear X,

I respectfully decline your invitation to communicate on the matter at hand any further. After your curt and grammatically erroneous response I’ve promptly decided that you’re an arse-hat who does not deserve any more of my time- beyond this response. Enjoy the rest of your existence.

Bar-B-Q; am I abandoning you?

Today I ate lunch at Johnny T’s BBQ. It was basically the most deliciously moist (they also offer lean cuts) brisket that has cross my lips in quite some time! Also a very large serving of meat on my lunch plate. Most definitely no skimping at Johnny T’s. My lunch was served with a mayo [...]

One Sad, Sad Day

Now I’m not the same Nirvana is the almighty, angst filled teenager I was once upon some time ago, but really? This would be majorly disappointing whenever I run into these kids. I will have to give them a brief lesson in 90s music. The era before everything sounded the same. via Surviving the World [...]

For The Benefit of The Interns

This summer as been an awesome time of professional growth. Since may I’ve been employed by the City of Round Rock, Texas as the Marketing Intern at their Convention and Visitors Bureau. This opportunity has taught a lot about myself in a professional world. It has also helped that I have great office mates! Granted [...]

Web Designer Declaration of Independence

I’m a huge fan of Web Design standards, and if I could I’d love to work with the W3C more closely. I believe that all Web developers, designers and users should follow their standards and stop taking petty shortcuts. Apparently I’m not alone; I’ve optimistically assumed that I never was alone in this. Sam Dunn [...]
