In grade school you’ve probably heard something like this a lot. The opposite sex became attractive for some odd reason and to this day you’re still trying to figure out why.

Okay, if you can think that far ahead, maybe you should apply to MENSA and quit your job at “Harry’s I Can’t Believe It’s Not Chicken” fast food restaurant.
There are days when things go your way.
People are spoiled by cell phones, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Luckily that isn’t a bad thing. Back when I was a kid being on America Online to check my email was the new big thing. Downloading a ten second .wav (sound) file could take five minutes, give or take, based on your dialup connection. Now we have a way to send messages to each other in less time than it takes you to type the message on your phone.
It was painful to put Dungeon Defenders aside but the sacrifice was well worth it.
So there I am, wandering along the cobblestone road with about four hundred pounds of equipment on my back like I always do, wishing I had more inventory space so I could pick up more crap so I could sell it to the blacksmith back in town. Problem is, there’s a quest ahead and I don’t really feel like turning back now.
“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” – Woodrow Wilson, November 11, 1919
Time travel…it wouldn’t be a science fiction show or movie if there wasn’t time travel involved. Whether it’s a slingshot around the sun or a large malformed donut sticking out of the ground, Star Trek surely covers it.
Good day fellow cooks! Ready your paper plates! Break out your Hello Kitty apron! Plug in the microwave! It’s time for “Cooking With Vince!”
Chess openings…Google it and see how many results you get. Did your computer yell at you and tell you to go climb a tree? Figured. There are hundreds upon thousands of different openings one could employ when you sit down to play chess. Some people memorize these openings like their life depended on it. Others are more free style.
You haven’t fully experienced life to its fullest until you’ve been a parent. It’s an experience that we as human beings struggle with on a daily basis despite having done it for thousands of years. Writers publish books, teachers hold parenting classes, experienced nannies appear on television shows…yet everyone seems to have a different opinion. It’s funny how many opinions are the “correct ones” when they involve YOUR kids.
For those of you that know me, I’m fairly easy-going and quiet. For those of you that know me very well, you have come to realize that I have more quirks than Jim Henson has muppets.
More and more people are doing this “new” thing called Twitter. I honestly don’t understand the hype.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is called “The Greatest Show on Earth.” As someone who doesn’t like clowns, I beg to differ. Allow me to explain.
Castling. It’s a move in chess that people often take for granted. Once you figure out how to do it, you do it every game for the next three hundred games because you believe that it makes you look smart. You may do it all the time simply because somewhere somehow you were convinced it will would increase your chances of winning for various reasons. I am here to tell you to abandon that train of thought and to keep reading if you want to know if castling is indeed, smart.
When Starfleet needs to put its best foot forward, they turn to a color blind tailor that has trouble figuring out how to fold a piece of paper. Seriously, I couldn’t find one redeeming Star Trek dress uniform out of the ones I recalled from memory with the exception of one that really wasn’t meant to be a dress uniform. Maybe you might have a different opinion…
