Happy Friday: Ducks Fly Together

And we’re back! You know we couldn’t do a week’s worth of blogs without returning to the well of Happy Friday. It’s been officially 5 years and 8 days since we’ve written one of these things, so for those of you new here, you might be wondering why I’m writing in first person plural. That’s…

Survey

Alright, so I’ve been dealing with a severe case of writer’s block lately, which explains why there are no blogs either here or on Deft. I’ve felt like I have nothing to say. Literally, NOTHING. I can’t make the words flow for anything non-work related to save my life to the point that it’s hard…

Re-Surge

Congratulations, internet. You’ve managed to resurrect Surge, the slightly less off-brand-than-Mello Yello version of Mountain Dew. This revival was spearheaded by the SURGE Movement, which, amazingly, is a thing that exists dedicated to two missions. First is to bring back Surge Soda, and second is to ensure its long-term success. While I’m no stranger to…

Expendable

In honor of my appearance this week on the Reel Nerds Podcast discussing Expendables 3, I thought I’d take a minute to bestow upon you 5 of my favorite dumb action flicks. I appreciate good cinema as much as I appreciate a good duck confit, but sometimes you’re not in a gourmet mood and you…

Wipes, Dude

So a couple of weeks ago I was minding my own business watching the latest UFC of Fox card. Dennis Burmudez choked out Clay Guida, Anthony Johnson pounded the holy living dogshit out of Little Nog, and Robbie Lawler outlasted Matt Brown in the main event. Fun night of fights, and a nice way to…

Buzzfeeding

Most nights as I wind down, I absent-mindedly scroll through Buzzfeed because the content is not challenging, and I’m looking to clear my crowded head from all the noise rattling around inside it. Most Buzzfeed content is terrible (and not even all that well-curated), but there is a shitload of it, and there’s something to…

NYC

If you’re reading this on Friday, I’m on my way to New York. Hey, we’re in New York! I got a gun, let’s go to a Broadway show! Yo, taxi! In the spirit of this trip, here’s a bunch of random funny crap I thought of in advance of leaving that I’m happy to share…

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. And three others the day before yesterday. Never have I killed with such ruthless efficiency or careless…

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.

Speech

Having now completed 12 interviews for the Jon of All Trades Podcast (and posted 9 of them), I have spent more time listening to the idiosyncrasies of people’s voices than ever before. Each interview is usually just shy of an hour, which then takes me about two to edit. That’s three hours of listening intently…
