I really thought that by now everyone would have an entire blank wall dedicated to being a TV screen by now. That’s what all the 1980′s Sci-Fi movies taught me. I had no idea that what would really happen is we would all get individual tiny screens to look at. I guess the Nintendo Game [...]

I’ve only had one job at a large company. I unfortunately understand 99% more office working jobs than I ever did before. Having upwards of 6 managers on any one project will crack the strongest of wills. Also, Hugs Bison shirts are back in stock!

Our dog knows the sound of the airconditioner in our car. She will be curled up on the couch sleeping for an hour and when my wife gets to about three houses away the dog will jump up and excitedly run over to the door. She can hear the car in the cold months as [...]

Have you ever been out in public and suddenly realized you were surrounded by secret skeletons? All disguised in their layers of muscles and organs and skin and hair and clothing? Me neither… me neither.

If you carry a bunch of paperwork with you and walk with purpose nobody will question you. Clearly you are going somewhere important and should not be bothered. As a bonus you get to check out the vending machines in other parts of the building. “Hey where did you get a Zagnut?” “Oh, I have [...]

I didn’t look up the math but I’m pretty sur a candy bar is just 10 minutes worth of walking right? Also make sure you pay in cash. And don’t take a bag or a receipt. Don’t bring the wrapper home with you. Brush your teeth right after you get home. There you go! Nothing [...]

I remember being confused more than sad. There was a lot of standing around in rooms with adults in suits talking and seemingly having a good time. I just tried to be polite and stood where I was told to stand and sat where I was told to sit.

When I was a kid there was a TV movie called “The Day After” showing the aftermath of a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union. I never watched it but it was a big deal at the time and was heavily advertised. There was a shot in one of the commercials [...]

Thinking about it now I wish I would have tried to make that experience a little more extreme. Maybe put the pillow case in the refrigerator or freezer during the day. I guess the truth of it is that’s how I grew up so it didn’t seem weird or unbearable. To this day I’m always [...]
