I went to the store earlier in the week to buy some supplies. Maria and Bridget left me to my own devices for a few days. That means one thing – grilling. Well, it also means video games, staying up too late, not making the bed, drinking beer, playing music louder than usual and yelling […]
I had everything planned out for a fun Wednesday night. My friend James would meet me at work, and we would go down to Washington to see a D.C. United soccer game. We planned to leave at 6 p.m., which allowed me to get some extra work done without feeling like I was abandoning my […]
My family doesn’t generally need much reason to get excited, especially on our annual trek to the beach. We have many activities planned to keep everyone as busy as possible. This year, something changed beach week for ever. Somebody brought a Wii.
Most times, I pride myself in standing up for everything that defines America. This time of year, however, I have to go against so many of my countrymen on one thing. I hate fireworks.

You hear a lot of commentary from various sources about the social problems facing our country. People worry about the decline of the family, loosening moral values, and the loss of basic concern for others. Critics of modern society try and point the finger at different sources. Some blame video games. Some blame the culture […]
When I went away last weekend, I got a chance to look around the greatest mall in the world. Skymall. Those of you who have never flown need to check this place out. If you have flown and don’t love Skymall – what is wrong with you? Imagine sitting comfortably looking at the most incredibly […]
