I just wanted to put this song up quickly. I would have put it up a couple of weeks ago, but the place where it lives suffered a massive server death so I had to wait for them to come back. A coworker at my awesome job who has been there much longer than me …

No, I didn’t forget the Christmas Wrap-Up. Here It Is
So here it is, February 5th and I’m finally writing the post I always do about our holidays. Although horribly late, it’s not as late as it seems because we only finished having get-togethers 3 weeks ago. Why? Because weather and circumstances are evil. We had the best plan ever. We were going to spread …

Holly Alonzo Has Passed Away
Way back years ago, I used to blog about someone named Holly and her struggles to get an auditory brain implant. I lost track of her, and last week, I heard that she passed away. That’s way too young to die. I remember her being one heck of a fighter. I can’t imagine having repeated …
We Wish You A Maily Christmas
Here is the story of Juanita Rodenhiser , a very sweet, well-intentioned mom who’s trying to bring her daughter some happiness. Believe me, I completely understand that goal. But the thing is she has not heard the stories of the others who have preceded her into the “another postcard” category in which she now finds herself. …
If Only He’d Owned A TV, He Would Have Known It Was Shop With A Cop Day
So it appears we have a brand new episode of shoplift with a cop. I still cannot believe this happens this much. I guess James Walsh was feeling brave. He had been out to this Walmart the day before and had successfully stolen a TV, so he thought he needed another one, a big one. …

Merry Scary Christmas
Steve told me about these painful-sounding Victorian Christmas parlor games and after I stopped wincing and covering my face, I started to envision what would happen if somehow, someone of that era could visit current day us, sort of like those old Freedom 55 commercials. I can see it all now. “You folks are wimps! …
Christmas Musings
Here we are, December 23 and once again I’m wondering how the heck we got here. When I was little, I remember being told that as I get older, the years will go faster and faster. I thought that was a load of crap, after all, time is time, and how can it possibly go …
A Giant Shmans Update
Tans is pretty long overdue for an update, so off we go. Back in June, we had our follow-up, and for the first time, it wasn’t with Chuck. Because his coverage area is so huge, he’s started sending people to do follow-ups, unless I guess the person has a huge problem or he’s in the …
Knock It Off, You Clowns!
This one needs a soundtrack. Right now, it sure does suck to be a clown. I saw this article a long time ago, delving deep into the reasons why clowns scare us. I was going to just link to these kids all being scared of clowns, but hey, now we have a ton of people …
Don’t Get Sucked Into The Virtual Life
Damn it, I’ve been ruined. Every time I go to look at my Facebook or Twitter on my phone, strains of a certain song begin to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iimlq6KuFpA It’s a parody of “Circle of Life” from the Lion King. I can’t make out all the lyrics, but I’m going to write out as many as …
