I’ve always held the belief that most people have about home schooling — that it’s only done by freaks and it turns their kids into bigger freaks — but I’m starting to change my mind. I think if I had kids I would have to home school them because schools are so f-ed up these [...]

Line Fighting
I had another Duane Reade style encounter (which means nearly violent at the register) yesterday. This time it was at a video rental place and I faced off with a ten year old girl. She may have had some kind of learning disability, I’m not sure, but unless your face looks funny you’re just old-school stupid. [...]

I’m a Celebrity?
I keep seeing these promos for “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here” so it peaked my curiousity as to who was going to be on the show. Heidi and Spencer, ok fine, Janice Dickinson, what reality show isn’t she on but then I saw “Mrs. Blagojevich”. It took me a minute to realize [...]

Bible Camp
I don’t know why but I’ve been hearing a lot about bible camps these days. People keep bringing it up at my prayer group and my preacher mentioned it during our recent camping trip. That’s a lie, I saw a documentary on it. People, and by people I mean crazy folk, send their little kids [...]

Teen Cribs
Seriously? Is this is a real show? It was one thing to know that people who make $15 million per movie live in fly houses but now MTV is going to rub in my face that the kids of software engineers and architects have boats and slave quarters? The houses on this show are completely [...]

Some people love walking you through every detail of some random dream that a) is not interesting if you didn’t experience it [...]

There Are No Bad Ideas
I used to love when people would say this in brainstorms or when they were trying to encourage new people to speak up in meetings. Then the second you say “We should sell six packs with condoms to promote safe drunken sex” the boss in the room throws you the stink eye and tells you [...]

RW/RR Challenge
I know it makes me a tool, but I sporadically watch Real World/ Road Rules Challenges. And by sporadically I mean whenever they’re on. I don’t know why. I don’t watch reality shows or think the challenges are interesting but it’s like Novocain for the brain. Maybe it’s because I’ve “known” a lot of these tools from [...]

Digital Will
Apparently there are a bunch of companies popping up these days that help you plan for what will happen to your “online life” once you die. So lets say your facebook account and your blog etc. There are services that you can pay about $30 a year for where you hand over all your passwords [...]

Jobs Needed to End Recession
This is the title of an article today on CNN.com. I did a double take thinking I must not be reading it correctly but that’s exactly what it says. I love when people state the stupidly obvious. Ohhh jobs are needed to end the recession, I thought that if people kept losing their jobs the [...]
