    Even though it is Friday, I am having a tough time getting excited for the weekend today. Some of it is because of the fact that I know it is not going to be a restful weekend. Some of it is that the weight of the world getting me down, again. Hahaha. #1. I was…

    We found out yesterday that our good friends the Halls are going to be moving to California so that Doug can attend the MBA program at UCLA. I have to admit that I am pretty jealous that they are escaping the great white north. I’m also pretty bummed that they are going to be so…

    Question: Dear Jake, How come it is so hard for me to get a gig for my air band? We can totally wail. Seriously. Like we are way better at sweet-A rocker moves and tearin’ up the frets than any of the Metallica wanna be cover bands that I have ever seen. How come its…

    I know that it is not nice to laugh at other people’s misfortune (or stupidity), but sometimes, you just can’t help it. For some reason there was another alarm malfunction with my calendar this morning, because the “move the car” entry scheduled at 7 this morning, mysteriously didn’t issue a reminder.
