Happy Birthday Lone Salmon!
Read this like I published it on Friday. Happy Birthday to the other remaining founding member of FNSC! I hope that you went out and completely “rented the moment” on your birthday.
Catharsis

Vacation Day 4 – Cotton Candy

Vacation Day 3 – Guinea Pig Denial
I woke up early on Monday morning. I’m not sure if it was the excitement of the forthcoming trip or if the rumors of Greg McDermott’s departure were so exciting to me that I was like a little kid on Christmas anxiously awaiting the chance to rip the wrapping paper… Read More »Vacation Day 3 – Guinea Pig Denial

Gridiron Prophets Year 4
“You know, my dear, the moment I looked into your eyes I knew that you did not have the mind for the noble art of Divination. See? Right here. You may be young in years but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shriveled as an old maid’s,… Read More »Gridiron Prophets Year 4

Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name
Rarely when I publish pictures do I explain the thought process, the technical information or the inspiration. If somebody is confused by a picture or intrigued by a picture I want them to come to their own conclusions. I feel by telling people too much about a picture, it cheapens… Read More »Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name

Matthew 25:40
I began this Saturday morning (12-20-2008) by rising out of bed around 5:45 in the morning. I often don’t sleep that well, but on this night I purposely slept on the couch so that I wouldn’t sleep well and I would get up in time. I was getting up at… Read More »Matthew 25:40
Aesthetically Qualified
Because I know interesting people sometimes the beget me more interesting people. Such as Lowell begot Bill who then begot Willy who then begot Faust.

Bad Photos
I got all of the old pictures off of my phone. There aren’t a terribly large amount of pictures on there because the old phone is about 4 years old and didn’t have much memory on it. It turns out almost every picture on that phone ranges from bad to… Read More »Bad Photos

Marks
I think whenever a person has had a job it leaves a small indelible mark on them. It pops up in different ways. When I was in high school I used to bean walk. To this day when I drive past bean fields I can’t help but scan them to… Read More »Marks
