Pic of the day 2012: day 1
I’ve decided to see how far I can get posting at least one pic every day to ye olde blog. I’m guessing some days will have more than one, but I’m not going to get overly ambitious quite yet.
Beware of who you ask for
My name is Justin. Sure, it’s not the most common name (though I have, for some reason, been friends with many a Justin over my years), but it’s what my folks deemed to label me with. It’s not even a particularly hard name to pronounce. It’s spelled relatively normal with a good ratio of consonants to vowels and it doesn’t …
RIP: Monte
Boy, it seems like I was just doing this not too long ago for big-H. Today, almost six months to the day after his big brother and ultimate hero passed:Â Monte, my little Berger, moved on to be with his brothers Higgins and Augie. I can just about remember the day back in 1998 when we went to pick him …
Classic confrontations
My brain is a rich nest of useless trivia and random thoughts. In any given day, random fluff bubbles to the surface and cracks me up for no apparent reason. There is no rhyme nor reason to most of the idiocy that streams through my skull and I very rarely share the true oddities with anyone. For that reason alone, …
An Unstoppable Force Meeting an Unmovable Object

Not to restate the obvious, but the whole mess is tragic and unnecessary. I’ve always thought of London as a moderately calm city (despite giving us the literal Riot Act). Sure, there have …
Whump, jog, jog
Picture this: a random, well-mannered person is walking along, going about their business. Suddenly, as if snatched by a hidden hand from the depths of the Earth itself, said person trips. Rather than gracefully fall or recover, this individual instead expands the spectacle and turns the trip into what appears to be an intentional spontaneous bout of running: a gentle …
A Century of What?!?!?
So, yeah, this is NWTF number 100. I look back on the year and a half of my life that is documented in these posts and think: “Boy, I sure like to ramble.” It’s true. I’ll be the last person to deny it. What putting this blog together has proven to me is that it really is feasible for me …
Yoga: The Return
Friday, after a “light” break of 95 days, I returned to Sunstone Yoga to kick my practice back into gear. I honestly never intended to let my practice drop by the wayside, but sometime things just happen. It really started for me back in February when I got just about the worst ear infection I think I’ve ever had. The …
