Summer of Bean

The iPhone experience to this point has been quite fantastic,  must say.  I’ll try not to be one of those gushing fan-boys and tell you you’re missing out (one douche on Twitter told me my world would go from black-and-white to color), but you’re really missing out.  If you have a hobby, and hobby, there’s [...]

Say Anything showed on cable twice last night.  The one time I skipped school it was to go see a matinee showing of this movie.  I watched it dozens of more times through college, but hadn’t seen it in probably a decade.
Until recently, movies have never been intended for repeat viewings and the scrutiny they [...]

Just when I think the summer is slipping through my fingers too quickly, I get a reminder that were truly just beginning.  As in summer just officially started Saturday night.  At 10:45 pm Saturday, as the sun crossed the equator on its way to the Tropic of Cancer, I was standing on the Sundial Bridge [...]

After the UFC fight Saturday afternoon, my friend and I ran some errands. Our first stop was at the AT&T store In Hillsboro. I wanted to upgrade her Blackberry’s OS to the newest. The girl gave us the directions and sent us on our way.
Well, almost.
I was almost out the door when she said $99 [...]

I don’t remember my dreams very often and when I do, I rarely write them down or ponder them.  I had one this morning which seems pregnant with meaning, but what?
Dig:
I’m at the casino and sit down at the slot machine.  On my first pull I win $1,000.  I turn to my friend (Pete?) and [...]

How long have I been at this now?  A couple of weeks?  I already feel like I’m getting behind.  The book thing, for example.  Like George, I’m not a reader at all.  It’s been a little bit of a struggle.  And to add to my troubles, it turns out there are like 9 holds on [...]

Of all the things I have planned for the summer, I think the most daunting and potentially the most rewarding will be the three minutes of stand-up.  I’ve been trying to pay a little more attention to others’ routines the last few weeks to figure out what I like and what I don’t.  I’ve also [...]

I guess I can cross this off the list.
Seriously though, thanks to everyone who came out last night.  It was a blast.
May I never have to defend my crown.

It’s been almost a month now since the night I woke up gasping for air, my heart racing.  It happens every now and then and let me tell you, it’s a scary thing.  It’s sleep apnea and it freaking sucks.
I didn’t know it at the time, but my first real experience with it was when [...]

I’m terrible with the boy-girl thing.  It goes all the way back to childhood.  So shy was I in elementary school that when I went to make the first move of my life, on a girl named Jenni Myers, I was too chicken.  Instead I asked the kid who sat next to her in class [...]
