It’s Christmas time!
In lieu of posting old school Christmas videos, I figured I’d get into the wintry spirit by taking you back to the last year it snowed in south GA. 1989. That year it SNOWED. People were going crazy. It was like how Y2K was supposed to be. [...]
1997. Senior year in college. I can’t believe it’s been 11 years. 12 YEARS!! Senior year was simultaneously great, and horrible.
I am no longer fat! A year ago, I weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 260 pounds. And boy did it show.
Even though I’m southern to the core, I was actually born in Lompoc, CA. Lompoc is known for two things: Vandenburg Air Force Base and a Federal Prison.
Folks, this past week was rough. At work we got audited by the home office, so everyone was a little on edge. I had to stay an hour and a half late on Friday.
The summer of 1999 was perhaps the best 3-4 month stretch of my entire life. I had an absolute blast.
Maybe you’re worn out by all of the MJ tributes that have popped up over the last few weeks. I can dig it. Or maybe, you just can’t get enough MJ and don’t want it to end. I can dig that as well.
People often say that love is a many splendored thing. I have no idea what the Hell that means. What I do know is that love makes you happy sometimes. It can make you loopy as well. You can be confused by it.
Last week was Memorial Day!!! It’s the day you officially break out the grilles, throw some incredibly unhealthy meat on it, and eat/drink yourself into Bolivian. The official start of summer is supposed to be a joyous occasion. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to drop about six feet of rain upon southeast GA that week.
With the release of Wolverine last week and Star Trek this past Friday, the summer movie season is now officially upon us.
