Blogtacular

Following in the footsteps of one of my friends, Jason Nassi (whose dementia I do in fact get down on my knees and thank whomever that I have access to), I’ve decided I want to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now.  I will be posting on this blog …

In Lieu of Softball

Those of you who follow my Twitter account may have noticed that I’ve been trying to workout in the offseason.  During the spring and summer months, I absolutely love playing softball.  The weekly games of swinging a bat and playing the field really sheds the pounds as I try to be the fastest guy in …

Black Lagoon

I’m going to use today’s post to talk a little bit about anime.  And plus, it gives me the chance to use more graphics, which I think is kind of lacking in a lot of my blog posts.  So, enjoy the images, because Google Image Search rules all. Way back in the mid-nineties, during my …

Dilation and Numbness

Keitaro from Love Hina

Last night I went to go see my eye doctor for the last time before my vision plan is switched over to a crappy one.  My work is discontinuing my awesome eye coverage as of January 1st for reasons passing understanding (not really, they’re trying to save money), so I decided that December would be …

Unemployment

Hey, I changed my blog’s layout.  What do you think? The most recent news I have for everyone is that I switched jobs over two months ago.  I’d been at my last place for two years and two months, and I resigned when I got an offer. Now, to tell this story, it’s important to …

It’s Bigger on the Inside

Yesterday’s prompt was about Guilty Pleasures, and I missed that one, so I’m going to take care of that with tonight’s post. When I think of what I consider to be a guilty pleasure is something that I like but I’m embarrassed to admit.  The problem with that is that I’m unabashed at proclaiming my …

Going to Bed Early

Today’s Holidailies Prompt is: “Childhood holiday traditions that you’re happy not to follow as an adult.” I think one tradition I’m happy to not follow is having to go to bed early on Christmas Eve.  Traditionally, this was the time that my parents would use to wrap presents or bring them out of hiding places.  …

Fighting to Stay Awake

Today was a pretty busy day at work, and I started feeling a little tired at around 3pm.  I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night, for some reason.  I’m not sure if my fatigue was due to not enough sleep, too much work, one meal so far that day, or perhaps a …

Introducing Myself to Holidailies 2010

Welcome to another year of Holidailies!  You don’t know what Holidailies is?  It’s kind of like NaNoWriMo, but with blogging.  You blog every day for 31 days and hope to make it to the end of the month without missing a day.  I did it in 2006 (8 days before losing the momentum) and 2007 …

Workout Update

So far, it looks like I might be falling behind on the working out thing.  With relation to my sleep schedule, last night I went to sleep way early because I kept nodding off in my desk chair.  Not to mention that throughout the day, I was trying really hard not to nod off at …
