October 31st, 2007 · 2 Comments

Talked a little bit about the Captain America Shield earlier this week, and it being Halloween, Matt has finished with the painting. Apparently this was an extremely large pain in the ass, and he has lots of things he would do differently next time.
Without further ado, the pictures:

From Captain Ameri…

And of course, we need […]

The Candyman Can.

October 31st, 2007 · 3 Comments

First, Happy Halloween. Second, am I the only person that, generally speaking, doesn’t eat sweets? Its not that I have a particular dislike for candy or sweet things, but given the option, I’ll normally pass it up. Today, on the other hand, I’ve not been passing them up. So far I’ve […]

The last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a little project for my friend Matt, aka Comic Book Guy. For Halloween this year he is going as a 40s/50s era Captain America. In order to make it work, he needed to have a shield.
Thats where I stepped in. We talked about […]

Don’t tell me you know how I feel

October 26th, 2007 · No Comments

So ready to say “Adios Week!” Usually when I’m think I’ve had a bad week its because the week has completely dragged and I’ve been bored out of my mind. Oh no, not this week. This week was kind of the week from Hell. Ok, so that might be is a […]

Circumvent this, bitch.

October 25th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Yesterday I was going to talk about purpose and identity. But that ended up long, rambling and incoherent. So I scratched it. Today I was going to post about a dichotomy between living life and being comfortable in all that you do, but some around you hurt, versus going beyond your comfort […]

A Walkmen. A Pair of Roller Skates. A Hill. A Story.

Awww yeah, we’re gonna go WAY back. Back in the Day. (Ok, so no one really NEEDED a quote from an Ahmad song, but if you know the song, gold star for you!).
Let me set the scene, it was a warm morning on July 30th, 1990. With the 80s barely in hindsight, […]

Listen to this idiocy!

October 22nd, 2007 · 2 Comments

This morning on the way into work Chris and I were listening to Eric and Kathy on The Mix. Every morning they have some kind of call-in segment, and this morning was no different. The topic? Dumbest weekend accident.
So people started calling in to talk about the dumb shit they did over […]

The Only Good Trojans Are Condoms

October 19th, 2007 · No Comments

Walking down Michigan Avenue today I was looking around at the garb my fellow pedestrians were wearing. It only reinforced, and I think that Lost A Sock would agree, that USC fans should roast in an eternal fire. This weekend is the Notre Dame / USC football game…in South Bend. The Trojans […]

Old Dude

October 19th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Growing up the “God” kid in high school I knew that I wanted to goto a Catholic college, to….ahem, avoid partying. So I went to St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, In. Needless to say, I was not successful in avoiding partying. But thats not what I’m writing about today. No, after […]

Felons do Fantastic Woodwork

October 19th, 2007 · No Comments

My brother, who never emails me, actually sent me something pretty cool today. I haven’t talked about it much on here, but I’m trying to get into woodworking a bit more. I still have a ton to learn and my brother is really pretty accomplished. Right now he’s helping me build a […]
