About Me

I like palindromes...especially on my odometer. I work at Best Buy...a lot. I like trying new beers and don't mind spending $9 on a bottle. Go Red Sox. Go Buffalo Bills...scoff if you must. I sometimes put the weather channel on just to listen to the music. Plus, I like NPR...especially This American Life. I like Call of Duty.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, most of the cast of Scrubs, and Zane Lamprey. Some folks from the Office too.

My Blog

  Sloth, lust, envy, avarice, wrath, gluttony, and pride. Pride, also known as vanity. Ok, that's covered. So I'm curious...why is vanity the only of the 7 Deadly that you can get as a license pl...

Keep Ringing Your Bell

  Let's talk about super powers. With my crackerjack psychology degree I'm sure I could link a person's choice of desired super power to some defining personality attribute. This would be a lot ...

Five minutes in my stream of thought...I can't remember which one it was, but a philosopher said you can't step in the same stream twice. It was either that or something to similar effect. Streams mov...

You don't recover from a night like this...

  Britney Spears and K-Fed are getting divorced...tragic. If they can't make it, then who can? Those kids were beacons of matrimonial bliss and now...now they're just tabloid fodder. It's really ...

Scream loud, scream sayonara...

  As I said earlier, there's a list of things I want to say and I want to say them seriously. Sure, all of what I'm about to write can be said in a mocking or less-than-serious fashion...but I wa...
