It pains me. It pains me, badly. It's not because I'm the son of a former basketball coach. It's not because I think I could go out and do any better. But, it pains me so much to see pitiful... + more

Welp, I'm back home. Doing...well, not a damn thing. Just laying around, reading e-mails, surfin' the net, watching movies, popping pain pills and sleeping. What every healthy gallbladder-less person should do. It feels like I've done over 10,000 sit ups... + more

So, lately I've been having weird dreams. First the tornado/Crayola plane one and now this. The great thing about this dream, however, was that I was excited and wanted to rush back to sleep so that it might continue. That... + more
Why is it that even when I'm told that a movie sucks, I still go out, waste $3 renting it, take it home, and waste 2 hours of my precious time watching it? There's no answer. Well, no good one,... + more
I woke up this morning around 5:30, struggling to remember most of the details to one of the more vivid dreams I've had in a long time. I vaguely remember the 'plot' of this dream to be that I was... + more
