I have started going to the gym four days a week.  This is primarily to lose a few pounds, but also to build some muscle tone that I haven’t really had since I swam in high school.  Even then I wasn’t really ripped, but I was in much better shape.   I joined 24 hour […]

I just had this conversation. Thought it might entertain a few of you ether dwelling folk. Customer: I’d like to make a reservation for blah blah (work related mumbo jumbo that will be omitted because I want to keep my job). Loop: okay, let’s get that form… (looks at form) I’m sorry, week 5 is […]

This 3 day weekend was primarily focused around the wedding plans and whatnot. It’s been somewhat frustrating, since most of the details were based on unknown factors. For example, we couldn’t say how many people to invite until we knew where the wedding was going to be. We also didn’t know when it would be […]

So, I’ve got my four players who are going to play in the game of Vampire I’ve got set up. Half of them are ready to play. The other two need to put their characters on paper. I’m pretty excited about it. I think that the storyline and setting I’ve gone with are pretty versatile, […]

Family meeting happened yesterday. It was requested that what happened at the table stay at the table. It was pointed out that certain people close to any of the five of us would hear what happened, but that I would keep the goings on from that meeting to a minimum on this site. I wasn’t […]

Today is the day. My family is having the family meeting. My mom will be the mediator. We were all told to compile lists of complaints to bring to the table. I have mine ready, and will likely have the gaps filled in by my brothers. I’ll likely post with my thoughts on how the […]

I am at my wits end here. This entire soirée with my father and grandparents is truly silly and ridiculous, in my opinion. As these situations are different, though related, I’ll lay it out for you. Any relationship that could have been fixed with my father has long since faded away. I do not see […]

Went to see Spidey last night with the brothers, Milca, Shane, Michael, Mason, and our cousin Desi. To sya that the movie rocked would be a slight understatement. Those two hours flew by leaving me wanting more. There may be some spoilers ahead. Good stand alone movie, I’d say. You don’t need to have seen […]

I got a reply to the email regarding my father being able to sue me over what I’ve said on the site. “He would not win if the statements are true or express your opinion about something –you cannot make factually false statements however– “Our attorneys could also become directly involved, though we normally do […]

I still can’t stand working for conservatives. I mean, these people are firmly planted on the right wing. So much, in fact, that they won’t even listen to the left wing. You can disagree all you want, but if you don’t know what the other side is saying, what are you disagreeing with? What this […]
