I do this all the time…

No I mean all the time. If I spent the same amount of mental energy I have used in a lifetime of imagining improbable rumble royales on thinking of important things, I probably would have cured cancer, solved all the problems in the middle east, and invented a flying car by now. So I guess you can blame all that on me.

A bunch of Good Okes from South Africa have won the big show, the rugby world cup. Nice work, Springboks.

Where the Magic Happens

After a quick trip to Ikea and some assembling, I have a work station. It is tiny, just big enough to hold my fat stack of text books, some basic supplies, and my inspirational action figures. They used to occupy my desk at work, but since I am a full time student now they are now part of the apartment decor, much to my girlfriend’s delight. This is where I’m hard at work learning how to think like a lawyer:

Here’s what it looks like when I switch to blogging mode and prepare to regale the internet with my trenchant observations and witty commentary:

Is that you John Wayne?

At the airport in Orange County, they know how to honor true American heroes. And if I hear anyone say that his real name is Marion, I will soundly thrash them about the head and neck. No true American heroes have girl names. Except for the girls, I guess. Betsy Ross had a girl name. And Rosa Parks. In college, I had a very good friend who kept a cardboard standee of the Duke in his living room. As we would drink beer and play videogames, we could feel his presence watching over us like a cowboy angel who just rode in off the heavenly plains. His essence washed over us, increasing our manly virility by at least 15%. Very few people even did John Wayne impressions in the presence of the cardboard cut-out because no one wants to disrespect the Duke. His spirit now watches over Orange County travelers. God Bless America.

The Buddha is Closed For Repairs

In San Francisco, all requests for enlightenment and freedom from the endless cycle of birth, suffering, death and rebirth should be deferred to Shiva or Jesus until repairs are completed. Thank you for your cooperation during our remodeling.

Tower of Joy

Somewhere in Dublin there works a barman who possesses the dexterity and sheer nerve to balance 3 full pints of Guinness on top of each other. It’s a testament to the great things men can achieve when they reach for the heavens, though much like the builders of the Tower of Babel this alcohol architect tried to take his malted monument higher than it was meant to go. It ended in sadness but for one shining, glorious moment the tower of Guinness stood in mocking defiance of purely horizontal pints. God bless you, Mr. Barman.
