About Me

I'm growing hair where I don't want hair and losing hair where I need hair. It's a cruel, cruel world. I'm a big-city guy trapped in a medium-sized town -- for 10 flippin' years. Got married not long ago. Poor, poor girl. Knocked her up on the honeymoon. Oops. But I got the coolest daughter ever created out of it. I have an unbelievable amount of knowledge on useless subjects, ranging from Melrose Place to the second Asia album. I play golf, soccer and Xbox reasonably well, and I can make a mean chili. Also, sometimes, rarely, I can form a complete sentence. And I'm good with deadlines. Which is why I get paid an enormous salary.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

Unethical bastards

OK, so I'm bored, driving in the car back from Indianapolis, and I sent an e-mail to ESPN radio because, sadly, they were talking about a Wham! song that I happened to know was a George Michael song. ...

You're so Hollywood

Our story today begins with Matt Leinart and Paris Hilton sucking down Frappies at the local starbucks. Matt: So, baby, you look so hot today. Paris: I know, I'm so hot. This whole scene, yo...

The Toll Road police are after me

So I'm driving through Chicago today. The traffic is awful because of the construction. Because of it, I get inadvertently merged into the I-Pass lane. Problem is, I don't have an I-Pass. So what am I...

The bleeding claw

Isn't it sad that my cat it tougher than I am. I'm vacuuming and, boom, she rips a claw right out. Just walking around, spraying blood looking like, "Huh, my paw feels weird." I'd be screaming my...

The green machine is mocking me

THE FRIGHTENING CHARM OF DISCONTENT

Frazzled, I charged down the Walgreen's aisle. "Dammit, where are the darn Drumsticks?" "Drumsticks?" the pathetic foot-soldiering, pseudo-pharmacist/psuedo-stockboy asked. "Yes, the darn Drumsticks. ...
