…from the moment the interview started, it was destined to fail.
Dear werdnerd2917, The knowing smirk in your profile picture wants me to tell you that I own a $.10 candy machine. (I’m actually rather proud of it!) Jelly Belly’s and Reese’s Pieces. Got the candy machine on the way to work one day. My neighbor had it on the curb and asked if I wanted [...]
On Monday evening I was standing perplexed in front of the jukebox at Lyle’s debating which classic Styx number to close the night with when Matt, a friend of my girlfriend’s, approached. Matt and I were catching-up when two women approached. These women were friends with Matt. They helped me choose the right Styx power-ballad. [...]
( * = This post will likely create more frustrations than sharing may be worth (like this post), but I’d like to reiterate a telephone conversation I had moment’s ago.) GIRLWhatever. J/k. MEWhat!? Did you just say “j/k?” GIRLYeah? So? MEWhat the fuck?! What would possess you to say… You’re talking to me, you’re not [...]
This story is awesome! It’s lame that the organizer’s been charged though. It’d be so much fun to do something like this in Minneapolis! walkonred
“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 [...]
Dear Readers, Please know that I didn’t want to write about anything you are possibly about to read. I thought it was personal and none of anyone’s business. I thought that my silence was the mature thing to do. I reasoned that my time and energy would be better spent elsewhere… Then I double-checked just [...]
Last night I saw The Dark Knight at the Imax. The movie was enjoyable, sans the exposition between Gordon and Batman as they stand over Harvey at the end. And yes, Heath was inspiring. On a personal note, the movie was bittersweet due to the shots of Chicago… Then there was my laugh. I can’t [...]
Girl A — we’ll call her Jessie Spano — goes on a date with, um — we’ll call him AC Slater. After the date she decides she’s not interested in AC Slater. So Jessie Spano goes on a date with with Zack Morris. Later, Zack is talking to Slater about the date. Here’s a brief [...]
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?
At the end of Wednesday I was at Liquor Lyle’s with my rockstar (So It Goes) friend Lee. We were in front of the bar smoking when a homeless man named Tiny approached. Tiny sings original songs and recites original poetry for money. As far as I was told, this is how he survives. Over [...]
I’m at a coffee house in Uptown writing a sketch. Out of nowhere, I farted. Loudly. I have my earbuds in, so I couldn’t technically hear it, but I know it was loud based on the look from across the room I just got. That was liberating in so many different ways. ~Walk | On [...]
Arriving home after dinner at Galactic Pizza with Katherine, I was quickly reminded of one of my resolutions for 2008… Saturday evening one of my “fun” neighbors barfed all the way up the 30-foot walkway to the east entrance and then inside at the base of the stairs. They chose to leave this fun discovery [...]
