I’ve never been one for conventionality…

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

I have to work this afternoon and I wanted to get some writing done for a couple of projects that I’m working on. But what did I decide to do? I decided that my neglected motorcycle needed some long overdue attention.
Riding in itself is never a bad idea- but what does a motorcycle have to do with conventionality [...]





it speaks for itself…

I can’t even begin to describe the SUPER amounts of fun that I had while I was in Bend.
The mix of SUPER fantastic people, SUPER amounts of alcohol, SUPER crazy fun, SUPER creative ideas and the most SUPER cool unicorn, all adds up to the most SUPER time ever.
But first things first. Let’s talk about [...]





choosing your battles…

Monday, March 27th, 2006

Yesterday, on my way to the airport, I decided to stop by the post office (yes there is a post office near the airport that is actually open 7 days a week 6am to 12am) to send out something I sold on ebay.
It was slow going and the two ladies working and I were all [...]





An open letter to the people of the service industry…

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

When you’re in the service industry and you’re scheduled to work 7 days in a row, you’re #1 priority should always be: keep the damn smile on your face for as long as you can.
Because typically people on the other side of the counter don’t care. As long as they have their whipping boy everything [...]





a confession…

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve been keeping a secret from all of you and I’m only now beginning to see the graveness of my choice to remain tight lipped.
It seems that I am succumbing to my traditional Catholic upbringing and feel as if I need to free my soul from the tragic direction [...]

FRIDAY:    WORK

Boohoo you all say. Oh poor world traveller: you get almost 3 weeks to galavant the globe and now you [...]

a few days to recover…

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

Thanks to the spring break system offered by educational institutions all the flights to Las Vegas ended up being fully booked and I had no options of getting to spend the weekend there with my brother and a group of boys. Sadly I only got to be a part of their adventures by phone.
I will truly [...]





the sad news…

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

I got an unexpected phone call from Dennis who is like a brother to me. The phone call started off with me jovial- telling him I had been missing him while on my trip. But he slowly let me know that one of our own had been in an accident.
Gary- the jokester- the one who [...]
