Ultrasound

Quite possibly the only benefit of going through months and months of infertility is that if you’re lucky enough to become pregnant, you get to have lots and lots of ultrasounds. Whereas most people only get one, maybe two, we’ve had, like, five already. For awhile there, it was basically every other week we’d get…

Unwritten

Yesterday the Rockies played the Braves and beat them 10-3. This is great on its own because Go Rockies and fuck the Braves. In the bottom of the 8th, Corey Dickerson fouled off a pitch and accidentally struck catcher Gerald Laird on the side of his head on the follow through of his swing. On…

Travelfood

Gratefully, I have not traveled as much as I used to. Despite not leaving the state at the clip I used to, I still find myself living as a traveler much of the time. What does that mean? It means that if you’re a communications professional, no matter where you find yourself in your career…

Inflatable

The Insane Inflatable 5k was Saturday, and I’m happy to report I led my Rad Racing team to victory… whatever “victory” is when you run in a 5k that isn’t timed among a throng of other “adults” on a course filled with a bunch of modified bounce houses. So yeah, it was a fun time….

Murder

This article is a bit late today because I had to spend part of my morning on a murderous rampage. I’m not kidding. I took the lives of three this morning. Four the previous morning. Two last night.

Graduation

It’s been 10 years since I graduated from Colorado State University with a B.A. in Speech Communication. And since it’s graduation season, I thought it a nice opportunity to reflect on what I was like then versus what I’m like today. Also, I saw that new X-Men movie over the weekend (it kicked ass), and…

Marty

This article is dedicated to anyone who has ever lost someone close to them. For me, this article is dedicated to Marty Walker: close family friend and someone I looked up to as a kid. Today I commemorate my friend Marty Walker. He was a father, grandfather, friend, veteran, and so much more. Some of…

Hertz

I spend more time than I would probably like in Houston, TX. Approximately 99% of that time is spent on business, and when you’re dealing with a sprawling, spread-out metropolis such as Houston, that means rental cars. And rental cars are fucking goofy.

Smoking

(I wrote this while half in the bag Friday night. Outside of a few minor grammatical corrections, this is untouched from that writing.) I’m watching WWF Vengeance 2001 on the WWE Network. It’s the one where Chris Jericho unifies the two world championships into one belt. As a Jericho fan, it’s probably the pinnacle of…

Workout Song of the Moment #12

Since my fat ass has actually started RUNNING, I’ve had to add several songs to my workout rotation. What will follow is a periodic update of whichever song has given me added juice while crisscrossing my neighborhood and hating everything about it. Download these yourselves and enjoy. “Joker and the Thief ” – Wolfmother Sweet…
