If you're too cool, you're prolly not cool enough.

About Me

I wonder if its a good idea to write these thingies while you're practically passed out on your keyboard at work...you know, that post-lunch lethargy???Anywho, as The Daily Show pointed out a while back, myspace is a place where kids go to list things...you know, things that kids like these days. And so, here is the list of things I like.Cereal, old people, dark chocolate, the Fox Trot, trick bowling, down comforters, tennis shoes, newly waxed legs, Flintstones complete chewables, and to round out the list....Oh I dunno, how about....OH, the old SNL episodes that had Celebrity Jeopardy. That Will Farell is a hoot.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People. Some local, interesting, and fun people.

Music:

"Photograph" by Nickelback. Only song in the history of music worth listening to... (Please note that I hate Nickelback. I believe all Tampa radio stations are cheap Nickelback whores. My friend put that there when I accidentally left myspace up on his computer. I think its kinda funny though, so I'm gonna leave it.)

Television:

Family Guy, Daily Show, old Friends episodes.

Books:

Oh right reading. I did it once. I intend to try to do it again. I am currently reading "Bait and Switch" and "La Diosa de las Americas." One is a non-fiction book about the white collar unemployed, the other is a book of excerpts and memoirs about differing images of The Virgin in Latin America. Both are slow going because I usually just read a few pages at a time before bed.

My Blog

Kids say the Darndest Things...

Me- "Hey Linc.  How was Santa?  What did you tell him you want for Christmas?" Lincoln- "A pick-ax, and a magic set." Note:  Linc wants to be a diamond miner when he grows up.  Las...

Minneapolis rocks

Here's a few reasons why.... 1)  The people are nice.  For example, whoever is sitting in the first seat on the bus always tells the blind guy where the open seat is as soon as he steps on t...

It's a Small World After All...

Many of you are probably aware that last summer I had a little Spanish visitor.  My student from Madrid, 9 year-old Pablo, came and stayed with me for a week at my dad's house in Menomonie, WI (a...

The white stuff....

I have just been made aware that for the fourth consecutive year, I will be narrowly missing the grand celebration in my village back home that we like to call "UFO Days".  Now, mind you there is...

The beautiful thing about baseball...

...is that the guy on the very end of the row (next to a wall or something, not the isle) can order a beer.  Not only can he order the beer, the beer can cross the hands of 15-20 drunken stadium-...

Injury Assessment

So last Saturday's "bar brawl" apparently has resulted in more injury than the bruise I had suspected.  Now, I'm not really sure what the hell my doctor was talking about, but it apparently has t...
