What CAN'T Google do? It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything of a useless rant, and since I have the time to do so today, I figure: why not? First of all, the reason for this post is mostly just so I could whore out the fact that I have Google Voice now. It’s pretty much my favorite new toy ever. Free texting, phone calls, and .02 cent international calls. And a different number to screw with people if I really want to. And I can text from my computer. Continue reading [...]
500 Days of Summer If you haven’t seen the movie “500 Days of Summer” allow me to describe a certain scene for you before I go off on a diatribe about my feelings on the subject: In the movie, there’s a scene where Tom (Joseph Gorden-Levitt) is going to Summer’s (Zooey Deschanel) apartment for a get together. Upon being invited, it’d been a few months since the two had stopped seeing each other, so Tom thinks that this is his chance to get back with “the Continue reading [...] The following is an excerpt from a story I started working on about a year ago. It’s nothing fantastic yet, but I read over it and specifically enjoyed the journal entry portion. I remember trying to picture a woman who just absolutely floored me in every way, so I think that part came out a bit more succinctly. Maybe you short story-ers, or novelists (if there are any of you actually reading my blog of course) can point me in the right direction, or let me know if this could actually turn into anything. I know the surrounding scenario is Continue reading [...] So I’m sitting here at 2:19 in the morning, staring at a blank blog entry page, trying to figure out what could POSSIBLY be so entertaining to anyone who reads this to write. Suddenly, it dawns on me. “Just write Mike!” So, I start. I start writing a load of nonsense that makes absolutely no sense. In fact, that’s what I’m doing right now, as you read each word and absorb it into your psyche. You’re currently a victim of my mindless rambling. So mindless in fact, that suddenly, I have the ingenious idea to interview myself. Me. Asking questions, to Continue reading [...] I’ve neglected all of you, I know. And I apologize, but I have good reason! I’ve been quite busy with a few things, which I’ll get into in a moment. My life is finally starting (in certain areas) to look up, and hopefully will keep trending in that direction. Before I delve into my excuses as to why I haven’t posted here as frequently lately, I want to talk about irony. Wikipedia says that irony is a situation, literary technique, or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity, discordance, or unintended connection with truth, that goes strikingly beyond the Continue reading [...] Inspired by a friend of mine (who by the way writes an incredible blog entitled A Life in Translation, which you should all check out) I figured I’d throw down in a more personal life rant. Not because I want sympathy, or pity, but because I can. And it’d feel really good to get out there. With that being said, let the outpouring begin. I’ve always been the kid who hears the word “potential” and cringes. It’s taken me until I’m 26 years old to finally start to realize what people mean when they tell me “you have such Continue reading [...]  Those of you who know me, know that I think John Mayer is incredible. Don’t judge me. I don’t really care what you think of me. You can NOT deny the fact that the guy has incredible guitar skills. Don’t believe me? YouTube some of his live stuff. His voice has grown on me, and while “Battle Studies” is not his strongest work (which he’s even admitted) I still think the guy has talent oozing from his pores. I just found out about Alexa.com today (shut it, so I’m a little behind on certain things), and have since started implementing Continue reading [...] I decided that I needed to fuel myself, so I put on my hoody, slipped on my shoes and headed out the door to walk down to the corner gas station and grab myself a Mountain Dew, and a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds. Rounding the corner out of my apartment complex I happened to see that if I kept going at the speed I was currently at, I’d run right into two 12 year olds coming home from school (I’m assuming). And that’s just awkward. You know what I mean…when you’re suddenly on a sidewalk walking directly behind someone? Continue reading [...] Ok, so I just wanted to be able to use the word Shenanigans in a blog title. But in all seriousness, I’m sure some of you have noticed the smorgasbord of different themes, and designs I’ve been going through lately on this site. I think I’m honing in on something I like, and that’s easily changeable. For now, ignore the pretty raspberry bushes and other nature images that scroll through the header image…still working on creating something for up there, but I like the layout of this design. It’ll probably change in a month. I’m super ADD, with pretty much anything Continue reading [...] This goes out to my good friend Dani. My initial reaction to this suggestion was “WTF?!” And then, like I do, I started rolling it around in my head, and what I could blog started unraveling before me like the Sistine Chapel did for Michelangelo. To quote the request: “The paradigm of single v. two-ply toilet paper and how that relates to eco-friendly v. narcissistic behavior.” As you can see, my initial “WTF” reaction was warranted. But, let’s break this down. Johnny goes to the store because he’s out of toilet paper. Upon arriving in the designated isle, he’s faced with a Continue reading [...] |
