Cheaper to Replace It

It was a pleasant night. The last of my college work was turned in just a couple of days before and I was heading to Milwaukee for the first time in a long time. Cruising down the highway, my iPod playing in my ears and nothing but trees and stars to see. [...]

Adiós, Burrito del Amor

When I moved out of the dorms and into my first apartment, I needed to buy a bed. In a fairly typical college student move, I maxed out the little room left on my new credit card to get a cool futon. It wasn’t just a cotton batting one, no, it had a two-layer foam [...]

Manager of the First National Brain & Trust

So I occasionally post on this forum that has a couple of ongoing threads; “SHIT THAT PISSES ME OFF” and “SHIT THAT MAKES ME FUCKING HAPPY”. These are very popular threads where people post various things going on in their lives. I just posted to both of them.

The professor mentioned to me that he was very forgiving on due dates for students that were in their CIS internship.  I [...]

Where have I been?

This should display a map of every state I’ve been to:

create your own visited states map
or check out these Google Hacks.
I really need to see more of the US. Oregon and Maine are high on the list, since I know people there. I haven’t actually seen either of the oceans (except from [...]

So a computer geek walks into a bar…

Finally, the long awaited explanation to my last post.
Dawn invited me to a show. An acoustic cover band called The Fire was playing at Graffiti’s. The band was pretty good, the company was enjoyable, and the venue was surprisingly pleasant (for a downtown bar in Stevens Point).
I did get a little bored during [...]
