Happy Birthday, Mikey!

Thank you, Angelina! Yeah, today is my birthday and I'm 32 now. I don't feel 32 though. I think I still have the mind of a 22 year old. I think I just lost those 10 years somewhere. What's up this weekend?

Friday night, Jessi will be coming to pick Kat and me up from Richmond and rushing us back to Lynchburg. Once there, we are going to Allen's birthday party at the skatepark. He's 30 this year. Welcome to old age, buddy! They are having some kind of pirate party. Leave it to Capt. Butt Pirate himself to think something so silly up!

Then Saturday night, I believe we are having my party at the inlaws. I think I will have my own bottle of Jagermeister to nurse along with all the shots of drunkeness that Shawn can put together.

I'm looking forward to it, I just know tomorrow is going to drag. And Monday I'm going to be a friggen zombie!

We still don't have the car back yet, but we should be getting it early next week. I just wanted to give a big public THANK YOU to Kelly and Leslie from work for giving me a ride, and taking me to the grocery store to buy feminine supplies for my wife.

I have the best friends in the world I'm blessed beyond my own imagination!

So much music news. Also for my birthday Tool announced their new CD is coming out May 2. Thank you Maynard and Tool! Best. Present. Ever!

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to

My Wiiview

You all may be familiar with my Wii saga. Janine told me on my birthday in March that we were going to purchase the console which made me very happy. I figured both of us would be able to enjoy the Wii so it was a better value. Being at least two hundred dollars cheaper than the other new consoles help make that an easy decision too. Little did we know that we were in the midst of trying to find one the most sought after pieces of hardware since Tickle Me Elmo. I remember going to at least 5 stores in March only to find laughter when asked if they had any of these Wiis in stock. The manager of one store even told me that if I get in early enough, there may be two consoles, but I better bring a bat because the soccer moms trying to find them as well may have rabies. So Janine and I pretty much gave up on finding the new Nintendo console until last week when I was shopping for her iPod Nano. Sitting there in the back of the store were three Wiis. So now I have my toy hooked up and after

The Drowning Death Spiral of Modern Political Debates

There's nothing like a tragic loss of life for people to tout their political beliefs. And it's so much easier in this social media age. As I've noted many times before though, there's a lot less discourse now and a lot more shouting and yelling. The weekend tragedy in Orlando is a sad and depressing example of this showboating. In the midst of evil and intolerance, sides have geared up to discuss the merits of gun control again. Yet I don't really hear a coherent debate. What I hear are two sides screaming about two narratives that don't mesh together at all. Picture two children arguing. One wants a video game and the other one wants to eat. The focus is in two different arenas, food and fun. On one side of the gun debate are people who are strong advocates of constitutional jurisprudence. Passing increased measures to limit a law abiding citizen access to weapons, they believe, will not solve the problem of evil that exists when a bad person obtains o
