The Monkey Exhibit

Does this sound like a recurring theme? Since yesterday my body aches (feels like it’s in the bones), my head hurts, my stomach feels sick, though I haven’t been sick, and I get hot/cold flashes.
Sounds viral. Stay away.
Ibuprofen has been taking care of the problem quite well, though. When it’s in my system, [...]

I had to give blood last Thursday. Wow, I’m really on the ball getting these things published. Anyway, I had to because I didn’t want to be a liar.
Here’s the thing: I drive by the Red Cross every night on my way home, unless for some reason I decide to drive through [...]

Though you access it via GravyBoat, GravyBoy Island is not a food-based theme park. The latest and greatest amusement park in America is actually based off a comic book. Much like the Superman and Hulk roller coasters, GravyBoy Island’s premier ride is based off the comic’s main character, Philbert Pharmac. Excited park-goers [...]

I feel that it’s hard nowadays to sit down and have an intelligent, non-confrontational discussion with people if you have a concern. It seems to me that many people are ready for, maybe even looking for, an argument. What ever happened to the days when you could knock on a family member’s door [...]

When I was but a lad, my uncle had a dog named Ajax. I don’t remember much about Ajax…maybe generally that he was some kind of lab/mutt, and his name made me thing about the household cleaner that was kept below the sink. Ajax had a problem, though. He chased deer. [...]

Today my attention flows over the subject of saplings. Why saplings, one might ask. Good question. The thing is, I dreamed last night that I was looking at my latest post and it was about saplings. I shall make that dream a self-fulfilling prophecy. Then I can go around telling [...]

Yesterday we had an awesome thunderstorm. The skies first became ominously gray, reflecting the drab color on all local white structures. Then the clouds rolled in, blocking the sun as if it had gone down. Distinct bolts of lightening shot down from the sky in the distance out or windows at work. [...]

What can I tell you…? I must have somewhat of writer’s block, as Brian lamented the other day. He found a great way to work through it, apparently. Everything he does is art.
I like the way Daniel has come clean on his site. He’s apparently baring himself down to the soul [...]

It’s payday, baby! And how will we spend our hard-earned cash? Vacation? Dining out? Romantic night on the beach? Pet hyena? No, see I have here in my hand $1,550+ worth of bills to pay…not to mention groceries to buy…
But, I’ve got a free night to do whatever I want [...]

July! You’re here already! I’m, ah…I’m not even dressed yet…
Yes, yes, I know you were supposed to be here by now, I just thought you might decided to be ‘fashionably late’, as the kids call it nowadays.
No, I don’t think it’s fashionable to be late, either. You can’t argue with kids, though. [...]
