Protestant church sure has changed a lot since I was a kid. For example: 1. Presentation. Everything is done on Powerpoint. When I was a kid, we were old school and actually brought our Bibles and flipped to page numbers in our hymnals. When we were advancing with the times, we put praise song sheets... Continue Reading →
no special treatments
Let me clear up a misnomer here about my general assholeness. I discovered today my insensitivity to be a result of consistency. You see, I hold everyone to the same standard, regardless of individual circumstances. For example, on American Idol, I didn't think the blind guy could sing. Regardless of stories and disabilities, I expect... Continue Reading →
campaigning, chasing, and discovering love
Yesterday was the city primary election. As I drove to work, I saw sign wavers on the corner of 132nd/Center. Seeing them reminded me of so many of my childhood mornings when my dad was running for office. I wondered if these volunteers were in it for moral reasons than I had been (mine: a...

reality tv #2
Well, my eye candy on the Biggest Loser is gone. All I have to look at now is stretch marks, extra skin, and sweat. It was a very intense episode for me. Although Tara beats him in the challenges, I think Sione is the most determined and inspirational athlete on the show. Glad to see... Continue Reading →
epiphanies #1
My epiphanies of the week:1. Who do stores think they’re fooling with inaccurate sizes? GAP’s size medium is more like an XXL. I know why they do it: to get the plus-sized shoppers to spend hundreds of dollars at the magical store that categorizes them as a size 6. I get it, and it’s a... Continue Reading →
puzzle night, honking to pedestrians, zits
I know you're thinking that my crazy social calendar prohibited me from blogging last night. In truth, I was racing the clock while putting together a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. Since I never like to be at a deficit and I have committed to blogging five times a week, I'll pop another post in here over... Continue Reading →
eBay suggests
I buy a lot of my clothes on eBay. I try to avoid the malls at all costs, so once I know of a brand, style, and size I like of something, I buy multiples at discount prices. After buying a few things on eBay, it begins to suggest items to you that you may... Continue Reading →
weigh day
Tomorrow is my weigh day. As a part of my 2009 New Year's resolutions package, I planned to keep myself accountable to work out five days a week. Each month I have upped my fitness goals and weighed and measured myself to see my results. I know to most people, resolutions are a joke to... Continue Reading →
back to the ol’ grindstone
I rejoined the working class today. Perhaps the worst part of starting a new job is all of the hand-shaking that goes on (I dread hand-shaking thanks to my clamminess). No, really the worst thing about starting a new job is lunch. I never know if I should bring my own lunch, or if it... Continue Reading →
pictures of the new nieces
Steve and I stopped by the hospital to see Matt & Emily and their adorable new babies. Here they are: (Kylie)They are fraternal twins. They are so tiny -- but big enough to come home from the hospital. We're looking forward to both of the new nieces in our lives. We also have another niece... Continue Reading →
