Let's Talk About Ketchup

P1030842

Reason #126 that I love Texas: Whataburger Sooner or later, I will blog about all the things that make Whataburger so great, but for now, I want to focus on one item–ketchup. My wife and I ordered Whataburger for lunch today and on the way home she commented that with any other carry out food …

Am I A Mass Market Reader Now?

Freedom

I guess I am in the minority and don’t read books based on critics or best-seller’s lists. I buy/read books based on recommendations from friends and/or family, interesting synopsis or stuff from authors that I like. As such, I am not exactly hip to the latest in mass-market, contemporary fiction. Case in point, I just …

One Thing I Miss About East Texas

Hard to believe that almost six years have passed since I packed up my things and moved to Dallas, hoping to break free. I viewed East Texas as a snow globe—you know those glass globes with a scenery and snow that when shaken gives the illusion of a snowfall.  I felt trapped in an area …

Last Thursday, I turned 32. Today my iPod turns 3. To mark this momentous occasion, I felt it fitting to take an inventory of its contents and an analysis of my listening habits. Currently, I have 6,910 music tracks on my iPod. If you speak computer, that comes out to 29.34 GB and 19.6 days …

I Missed Mad Men for This?

Last week, Mad Men left us wanting more. Peggy and Don pulled an “all-nighter,” where we learned several sordid details about the partners of Sterling-Cooper, relived the 1964 Cassius Clay-Sonny  Liston fight, and even featured a dash of the paranormal. It continued a fascinating season of the greatest show currently on television and loyal viewers …

Are Republicans Listening?

Based on what cable-news network you watch or which publications you read, Republicans will either gain control of one or both houses of Congress in November. The American people trusted the Democrats with absolute power for two years and received absolutely nothing in return but absolute misery. Now it appears that the American people are …

What Nietzsche Taught Me About Christianity

Born at the tail end of Generation X, I recognize many of the traits often associated with the generation in my own life—the ironic attitude, cynical nature, bitter realism and the refusal to take myself or anyone else seriously. Perhaps nothing captures the true essence of this generation—my generation—like Richard Linklater’s movie Slacker.  Released in …

A Perfect Job for Ann Coulter

Sarah Silverman makes me laugh. I don’t care much for stand-up comedians, but there are a few–Silverman, Seinfeld, Robin Williams when he does a show–that I’ll stop down to watch. I’ve become an even bigger fan of Silverman due to her active social media life. I follow her on Twitter and love seeing her videos …
