If you know me you know that my secret dream jobs are other peoples real nightmares. One example is the desire to work the night shift at 7-11 in a dangerous neighborhood. Lately, I have thought it would be great to be a bus driver. I think being a bus driver would be great for … Continue reading »
Crossfit
Hey cross fit folks. I think you know this but your workouts are really strange looking. I am not sure if I should ask you to stop doing them in public or to do them more. They are very entertaining to me as I run past you. When I run trying to figure out how … Continue reading »
hostel or hotel adventure
I have a history of going out of my way to stay at “interesting” places when I travel. I like the idea of a new modern hotel with a flat screen t.v. and other amenities. The problem is that when I look at hotel pictures I tend to have a specific picture in my mind. … Continue reading »
A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall
Most of you know that my family lived in Saskatoon, SK, Canada for three years. We learned many things while in Canada. One thing we learned is that if you live almost any where else and think it is cold out, you can rest assured it is most likely colder is Saskatchewan. We also learned … Continue reading »
A slice of heaven
At church we have been talking about having a meal after the service but we all agreed that potluck meals can be a pain and gross at times. Then someone said we should have pizza. He then joked that if we had pizza often after church we could be known as the “pizza church”. I … Continue reading »

A few similar questions for others may be “How is the whole having a baby thing going?”, “How is being married?”, etc. … Continue reading »
a letter to the editor that will most likely never get published
I recently read an article in the Bloomington paper about a church bringing in a guy to speak on campus. His name is Doug Wilson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Wilson_(theologian) and he is speaking about sex. He is known to say and think some interesting (crazy) things about the history of slavery and about women. … Continue reading »
Strangers may not have the best candy but they do have the best conversations
I have learned at an early age, how to listen in on strangers conversations, without getting caught. I am not sure how obvious I am about my eavesdropping. Imagine a bearded, tattooed guy, with headphones on, obviously listening in on your conversation at a coffee shop. That guy has always been me. I find entering … Continue reading »
Books
Anyone that knows me, knows that I will not sit through things that I don’t enjoy. I have been known to walk out of movies half way through, because I felt like they were a waste of my time. One of those movies, I enjoyed walking out of, was Water World. This also happens with … Continue reading »
