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, …
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 …
In case of Rapture, I’ll be right here
Well, the Rapture is upon us (again). Harold Camping of Family Radio has freakin’ “guaranteed” that the Bible says we’ve got until around 5PM EDT on Saturday, May 21, 2011 and then that’s it for all the “chosen.” Part of me really hopes Mr. Camping is right. Aside from his predictions about massive earthquakes and the world splitting and all …
Habitual Creature
“Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late” –The Beatles (A Day in the Life) A routine, I haz it. As much as I would like to believe that I have spontinatiy coursing through my entire existence, I have recently …
May the Fourth (grumble, grumble, grumble…)
So, basically all day today I’ve been trying to pithily pontificate the joys and wonders of Star Wars: this being the unofficial holiday of one of the greatest Sci-Fi properties in the history of Man. For all that Star Wars means to me, it is a downright crime that I haven’t done much writing about the subject. Basically stated, I’m …
RIP: Higgins
When I first met Higgins he was a spry little kitten who managed to get himself into all manners of trouble due to the pure nature of his obstinate will and curiousness. Being a Cornish Rex, Higgins had a built-in nature to climb and explore and generally cause all sorts of mayhem. I’ve gotta say, Higgins and I have not …
A Mind for Music
Driving around in the car the other day listening to KXT (like I typically do) I heard a string of tracks I hadn’t heard in years. What struck me first was the fact that I’ve been listening to some pretty damn good music for a very long time (insert self-indulgent pat on the back here) and that my brain is …
On Growing Up
 The other day I became engaged in a conversation with a close friend as to the nature of immaturity. As a fastly-approaching-middle-age male, I pride myself on my personal qualities that have allowed me to stay rather immature while, at the same time, remaining very responsible. That seems like a incongruous dichotomy (hell’s yeah with the big damn words!), …
An apparent Emergen-C
I came to the realization a few days ago that I have a serious Emergen-C habit. Sure, it started as just an electrolyte replacement regimin due to the fact that I sweat like a stuck pig during yoga (and apparently sleep), but it’s gone beyond that. Here is some background on my “plight.” I am one of the few Americans …
