The lamest songs are often the most accurate

Not that I’m risking ‘cred-loss’ by posting crappy songs on my blog, but I don’t want to come sifting back through old entries in a week and chance self-loathing.  So I won’t post ’em. Let’s just say that there are a lot of awful songs that I would never otherwise listen to that often describe the bland feelings of the masses quite accurately, and although I don’t often feel like I’m part of said masses, here we are! Instead, I’m going to post a few… Continue reading

“I Don’t GET Twitter!”

When you first sign up for Twitter, chances are you don’t get it.  “Isn’t it just status updates?”  At first glance, and to some users, yes.  More importantly though, no.  Use it however you will, but Twitter is best summed up with its tagline: “What’s happening?”  A much better tagline might be “What’s happening now?”  (Don’t get all George Carlin on me, I realize it’s the same thing but the now lends a sense of immediacy to the reader.) Twitter can be a news source,… Continue reading

Sziklos

A man vomiting is the single most awful thing a woman can be subject to hearing, as I learned last night.  Miklos is suffering from Man Flu. Based on symptoms given, a woman would diagnose the same ailment in herself as acid reflux.  In fact, the same pizza I ate last night had the dramatic effects of heartburn which I know and am thereby bored of so easily. At any rate, hopefully that’s all it was.  Pepto seemed to soften the cries of the dying… Continue reading

TOTES LEGIT AWKWARD!!!

There’s something about every word kids use today that makes me feel like an old person who knows words too well to want to listen to them poorly utilized.  Here is a list of words I would be happy never to hear again: Awkward Legit Epic [Not a word, but a phrase:] “In all honesty…” “For real” Bro Totes Toight (like tight, with an inserted ‘o’, for the old people reading) Vajeen (gross) And although it’s not on the list, you kids are totes ruining… Continue reading

Going to Extremes

Highest elevation on Earth: Mount Everest – 8,850 m (29,035 ft) Lowest elevation on Earth: Dead Sea shore – −424 m (−1,391 ft) Hrm, well we’re not going to summit Mount Everest for our wedding, and we’re certainly not going to the dead world of biblical history.  How about North America? Highest elevation in North America: Denali (Mount McKinley) – 6,198 m (20,335 ft) Lowest elevation in North America: Death Valley, California – −86 m (−282 ft) [Source: Wikipedia -Extremes on Earth] Why is the lowest elevation always inclusive of death somehow?… Continue reading

The Aubs

Welcome, little kid. Now grow old and optimistically-cynical and appreciate my blog! But seriously, isn’t she adorable? I mean, even if you don’t know her personally. You have to admit it. Oh, you won’t? Well my knee hurts. I don’t know, maybe it’s my veins again, but it could also be a pulled muscle. What? Oh right, the baby. Yeah, she’s a cutie.

Fleet Foxes, Listen to Them or Die Bored

Fleet Foxes – The Shrine / An Argument I almost die every time I listen to them, which is usually when we’re on the cottage road up north, which is not good because there are always bears or moose jumping out in front of you to demonstrate their largeness.  These guys are truly incredible.  I feel like if I had died without ever hearing them, I would have missed out on something very beautiful. Now that I’m [not quite] done being emotive and wonderful, you… Continue reading
