Of Course I'm a Cardinals Fan
I realized last week that when I woke up and put on my Cardinals hat that I didn’t know how they finished in the previous evening’s game. Granted, I only knew there was a game because I had texted my brother to see if he wanted to play frisbee and he was at “The Game”.
Last Monday there was a game as well. I know this because the new Ticker feature of Facebook was filled...
My 1 month Hobbies
I enjoy frisbee. I’ve played in organized leagues for the past 7 or 8 years. I enjoy playing xBox, specifically the Call of Duty franchise. However, other than that, my hobbies last about 30 days, and they’re immersive during that time. Here are a few recent ones:
1. BMX Biking So after taking a trip to RampRiders while babysitting, I thought, “I still have my trick bike in the...

Roger, you will be missed.
.
My great grandmother passed away last week. At 94. In a hospital. She will be missed.
However, this weekend, a man was taken from us all too soon. As soon as I heard the news, I thought first of his family, and then of myself. Roger was my mentor in many ways. His help with my business is one of the only reasons we’re still able to do it. His guidance, honesty, and generosity were...
Entertaining Quotes from this weekend.
“…You’ve seen Brokeback, right?” -Lenny
Lenny was banging his fork on the plates and glasses hard enough to break them when the Mother of the Groom approached him and said, “We should have given you the kiddie meal with finger foods!” Poking his glass of whiskey with the fork, he replied, “You should have given me the Kiddie Liquor….”

An Underdog Story
So last night we had a frisbee game. Due to dog sicknesses, swollen knees, and other reasons, we only had one girl present. Our league says we have to play 4:3 guys:girls. So we were a little short. The league rules state that the opposing team can either give us girls or we can agree to switch to 5:2 or even 6:1 if we must. The other team was rude and dumb; they decided to offer us two DIFFERENT...

Only jerks get tattoos?
When people see my tattoo(s), they ask me about them, and one of two things happens.
If they have tattoos, they just say “cool.”
If they don’t have any tattoos, they tell me a story about how they saw someone who was covered in tattoos. A painter who worked on their house, or someone they met on a vacation. Then they say how the person turned out to be the nicest person ever....

I saw a bumper sticker, and only because the car pulled an illegal u-turn at a stoplight did I not follow them home if only to photograph the bumper sticker. So since I don’t have the picture, I’ll just describe it. It read,
“Proud ___________ of Ms. Missouri.”
In that blank, written in permanent marker was “daughter.”
That’s right. Some woman is so...

Argue-by-Number (Not Funny)
I had a profound realization tonight and it got me thinking. However, it’s not a closed case. I want an answer. Please weigh in. via responses, comments, or even email. I am honestly curious.
To make it easier to argue, I’m numbering my more bold statements/assumptions. Feel free to use them as reference when debunking my thoughts.

Why I NEED an iPad.
Just like Obama, everyone has thoughts about the iPad. Some think it’s going to change the world, others think it’s useless. Everyone has specific reasons for this. The supporters cite its size, potential, features, and innovation. The Nay-sayers push it’s limitations in the world of flash, inability to make phone calls, and the...
Steve Jobs lays it out about Flash. →
I’m really tired of hearing both sides of this argument from people. It’s nice to hear a well-thought comprehensive review of the situation. It’s also nice that Steve Jobs is a nerd. Many CEOs or owners of companies know little about their technologies. Steve built the first apple and knows how to program.
As I work in the Web/Technology industry, it’s frustrating when a...

Healthy Tips to Save $$$

Ice Dancing, and Other Questionable Olympic Sports
I find myself yelling at the TV as I watch the olympic winter games. I understand that they are the Olympic GAMES, and not the Olympic SPORTS, but I’d really like to take a look at the criteria that makes or breaks an activity from being Olympic.
Ice Dancing was the first to leap out of the TV (but not jump and spin out) and say, “Hey, I’m questionable if only because it’s...
The Colonel's New Workout Plan
So, it’s time. With Frisbee season approaching, I need to be able to run. So I started doing some thinking and research on how best to get back in shape. My problem, however, is motivation. I started thinking of ways to motivate myself as I played about 14 hours of xBox this weekend. Then it hit me: Make my xBox addiction dependent on my working out! So the new plan is this:
