If you’re like me, you don’t need any help deciding which Christmas shows to watch. You know what you like and what you don’t. So why would you come here to read my “Top 10 Christmas Shows, period, the end”? Easy. So you can either agree with me, call me crazy, tell me my order […]
I’m updating this blog a bit in light of the latest explosion of social media outrage. I’ll write something entirely new for the next round of outrage, which I’m sure will be coming in, like, five minutes from now. In the United States, being offended by something has become somewhat of a cottage industry. Perhaps […]
This past Saturday morning, Holly and I set up our folding camp chairs at our little town’s beautiful city park to watch our 7-year-old’s soccer game. We arrived a little late, so we had to situate ourselves a couple rows back from the sideline. This afforded us a view of all of the spectators, mostly […]
When I began writing this blog two years ago, my only objective was to provide myself an outlet to write whatever I felt like. It was certainly not to provide a source of inspiration to people, but somehow, that’s what’s been happening. But most of this inspiration hasn’t been coming from me. It’s coming from […]
Lately, I’ve become weary of elitists. If you’re one, I’m weary of you and I think I need you to go away for a while. But I’m going to assume that you’re not one, so you can stay. Go ahead and sit back down. What’s my definition of an elitist? Somebody that, because of their […]
I became aware of the Tough Mudder a few years ago after discovering Crossfit and completing a couple of Warrior Dashes. In case you’ve never heard of the Tough Mudder, it’s a 10- to 12-mile mud and obstacle run, infamous for being one of the most difficult of all the wildly popular mud runs out […]
A few days ago, I received this response to my blog, “The Top 12 Reasons Why this 47-Year-Old HATES Crossfit.” While it seemed like a strange comment for that particular blog, I thought it was a fair question. Who wants to respond to armsdealer3000? Be sure to go to that blog (use the link above) […]
I think I may actually be a science genius. I make this bold statement because I’ve taken notice of a strange discrepancy in the natural laws of time and space. There are some activities in life, I’ve deciphered using scientific method, that don’t adhere to the normal passage of time. An example would be when […]
This is more of a heads-up than a real blog. In perusing Facebook as a defense mechanism to “The Bachelor,” to which my wife and daughter are hopelessly addicted and currently watching on DVR, I just ran across this, the first trailer of the upcoming motion picture, “Unbroken,” set for release on Christmas Day. […]
My back hurts. As I write this, I’m shifting around in my office chair to find a comfortable position, because couple of hours ago, I completed a Crossfit WOD (workout of the day) that involved a bunch of deadlifts. It’s funny that when I type the word “deadlift,” my computer tries to change it to “deadliest.” […]
