Dear Random Female…

Dear Female Soldier,

I saw you driving in your white car on the 101st Airborne Division Parkway in Clarksville, TN. You were really cute. Of course, I generally have low standards, so don’t get a big head. Still, I was wondering what kind of girl you were until I saw you ram your right index finger up [...]

The minimalist in me has been battling the toy/techie geek in me for weeks.At about 3 o’clock this morning, [...]

You’re Seriously Cramping My Style…

Heartburn,

 You are seriously cramping my style. I was trying to write a regular post, but you are so distracting and painful that I cannot sit here comfortably long enough to concentrate. You suck.

Man, I’m dreading the day I have that heart attack everyone keeps promising me…that’s going to [...]
