That was a pretty terrible title, but it could’ve been a lot worse. Well, maybe not. Anywho, over the weekend (Jan 18th - 21st) we had some snow. Not just like a small ‘dusting’ like we had earlier in the week but really some good snowball making type snow. I had a chance to get [...]

ok, so maggie and i were talking about this earlier and Harry Potter (the story line in general) is pretty much the same thing as Star Wars. This is the line that made me realize it: “greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spites spaws lies.”

Man, things just really suck right now. So here’s the scoop:
On the way to work, I was listening to R.E.M. – Automatic for the People and it mad me really sad. Rather than turn it to something else or put in something a little more up beat, I kept listening. For a change I wanted [...]
