“I can’t tell you, it’s personal.” Really? As a child, I was raised to Always Seek to Know, or “A.S.K.” The philosophy welcomed discussion, learning, and discovery in a nonjudgmental forum. The purpose was to grow as a well-rounded individual uninhibited by social norms. Years into the future, I still do the same thing. I [...]
Ever thought of switching cable service providers? Need another excuse to watch the Super Bowl? During the Super Bowl, service provided by Comcast in Arizona was interrupted by: “…30 seconds of eye-popping pornographic imagery…” Not only is that Comcastic, it’s orgasmic! Lastly, if the Federal Communications Commission fined “the CBS television network a record 550,000 [...]
In The Penis Debate, the author desires his son to look like him (uncircumcised), however, his wife has other plans for their child’s “weird” skin. The story is subtly sad, but worth the read. This leads me to wonder if someday I’ll have a son and have the same conversation with my future wife. Not [...]
On October 15, 2008, I wrote about my plans for unemployment: “I’m going to be poor. I’m going to be in the unemployment line. I’m going to sell my plasma. I’m going to sell my sperm?” Here’s an update: 1) I am poor. 2) The unemployment line exists in cyber-space and once a week I’m [...]
Today at 11:30AM I have a job interview. Interviews are as important for the potential employee as they are for potential employer. With this in mind, I’m gonna conduct my own interview. There are a few choice questions I plan on asking. However, tonight The Girl offered a question that made me smile because of [...]
As I just mentioned, for 2009 I didn’t make any resolutions. Instead I’ve identified a series of problems in my life and found the solutions. Over the next year, I will make a daily conscious effort to solve each problem. PROBLEM SOLUTION Didn’t know HTML Code for Tables, Columns, or Rows Researched HTML code and [...]
As 2008 draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking about the top events, either personal or otherwise, that helped make the year great for you. Seriously — start thinking! On December 31, I’ll share my top 10 list and I hope you all do the same in the comment section. Here’s last year’s [...]
I’ve been writing a number of sketches for a sketch comedy show I plan on writing, directing, and acting in this spring. Something struck me a few minutes ago about all the sketches I’ve written so far: they’re all about sex. What does this mean? Am I sexually-repressed? Not necessarily, according to Aphrodite Astrology: “…the [...]
Tomorrow some friends and I are conducting a social experiment. We will be begging for money at the busy intersections in Minneapolis. So naturally, I want to know… What should put on my cardboard sign? walkonred
This afternoon a Michael Jackson song popped into my Ipod’s rotation. I asked Kiddo a question that ironically follows this comment: “You know if the role of the prostitute were reveresed, I wonder how much she would pay.” The question I asked Kiddo is as follows: How much would you pay or be paid to [...]
Question… Am I: A) FUNNY – adj. causing laughter or amusement or B) HUMOROUS – adj. causing lighthearted laughter and amusement The future determination of the above question lies in the outcome of the number of comments I receive with an answer. Don’t risk not being apart of history! walkonred
Why do you blog? Why share your thoughts with the world? I’ve been reflecting on those questions for months and I’d like to share my answer. On June 26 I wrote, “If I were a teenage girl, this blog would be my razor.” That’s only partly true. This blog isn’t my ‘razor,’ nor am I, [...]

Random Question: Has anyone ever hummed The Star Spangled Banner before a major sporting event? I know bands and music groups have played it without lyrics, but has anyone ever hummed it?
A woman walks into a hospital, is forced to wait nearly 24 hours, and collapses in the waiting room at 5:32AM. An hour goes by until she’s discovered by another patient in the waiting room who alerts the hospital staff. She was pronounced dead at 6:35AM. Why did this happen?
