Clearly I have already been slacking on my self-imposed challenge to post on this blog every day. It’s turning out to be a little harder than I thought, but I’m not about to throw in the towel just yet. Most of my free time over the past week was spent watching the first season of [...]
Now that it’s the year 2012, I think it’s safe to say that personal blogs are officially dead. Right?

My how time flies when you’re doing anything but blogging. Maybe there’s something to be learned there… on second thought, nah, I doubt it. A month has passed since my last post, and in that time I’ve been across the pond and back again. It was a great trip, better weather than you could ever [...]
In terms of crazy things I’ve done in my life, jumping out of an airplane is probably right up there with that time I took 5 hits of acid and went skeet shooting off the roof of a moving golf cart. (In other words, it’s definitely the craziest thing I’ve ever done.) I’m not one [...]
