Here's a little Mudbone for your pleasure:

Friday afternoon April 10th, the goal was a 6 mile tempo run in the Big Bend National Park in West Texas. I was coming off an extra day off, and my legs felt fresh even after a morning hike. The route I was going to run was (what I thought would… Read full post »

Diary entry for Saturday March 21. (Gratuitous name dropping and foul language to follow: you have been forewarned!)

I wake up around 10:30 or so, fairly hungover from the festivities on South Congress Friday night. We saw the guys from the Jayhawks for free--that was pretty cool. Anyway I got a… Read full post »

Yes, plural!

• Apparently, I caused the 1994 Northridge California Earthquake and survived!
• I also survived a waterplane ride where the engine died about 30 seconds after takeoff because someone put the wrong gas in the tank. I was riding co-pilot, and I had a front row seat

A few weeks ago I wrote a short blog entry about my iPod's occasional proclivity to play a song right at the exact moment that something relevant to that song's content is happening. Well, this morning my little friend did it again! I got into may car to… Read full post »

Driving home from work yesterday, I was stuck in traffic behind a middle-aged woman driving a Prius with the window down, in the rain, smoking a cigar, while talking on her cell phone.

Have you seen anything odd lately? Let me know!

I'm not easily shocked, but there's some truly scary stuff on this Top 20 list of the Worst Restaurant/Supermarket foods from Men's Health Magazine. Incredibly, there are so many bad things on there that donuts didn't even make the list! Who knew there were so many things worse than Krispy Kreme?… Read full post »

Some might think it strange to mourn the passing of an inanimate object, but to me, it's not all that different than the passing of a pet--plus, these shades don't stink, tear things up, or shit on anything. (Just kidding, pet lovers!)

Despite the sad occasion, I had to crack a smile… Read full post »

Are necessary components of satire that (a) someone's feeling's must be hurt by the joke (usually the target of the joke itself); and/or (b) that a large segment of the intended target of the joke doesn't get the joke or doesn't think it's funny?

It seems to me that if/… Read full post »

In January of 1994 was living in San Francisco with my girlfriend, and we decided to rent a car and travel down to Los Angeles to visit friends for the long MLK weekend.

Sunday night, the night before we were supposed to drive back to SF, we went out to/… Read full post »

So I was driving to work through my neighborhood this morning, and I saw what appeared to be two police squad cars in front of a neighbor's house--only the colors of the vehicles weren't right. I slowed down to get a better look, and in fact it was two A.I.S.D.… Read full post »

My first (introductory) post is going to be hastily written during lunch, and not all that well thought out. What's on my mind particularly today is my impending hip surgery tomorrow morning. In my spare time I'm a competitve distance runner, and I've developed a condition known as "femoroacetabula… Read full post »
