“Sounds pretty sweet.” That’s the most common phrase I hear when I tell people that I write about the outdoors for a living, and for the most part, I can’t argue. I work from home, make my own hours, take time off when I want, I get some free gear every now and then, and… [Read more…]

As anyone who knows me is aware, I’m wary of shopping at Winco. Even though it’s huge, which equals suck when I only want one or two things, it’s almost always packed. Granted, there are times when it’s fairly quiet, or I run into friends, or the place is full of people who are generally… [Read more…]

Looks like someone brought fire down from the sun. Anyone shooting for the title of ‘Coolest Dad Ever’ should get cracking on one of these. Also, look at this kid. He seems pretty well-adjusted, with a fair measure of confidence. Granted, I’d be pretty confident if my hand was spewing fire, but it’s nice to… [Read more…]

As pretty much everybody knows by now, Benicio Del Toro will be a werewolf in The Wolfman, coming out in February. The first trailer came out, and it was a pretty standard outline of the film with a few action shots and music that you’ve heard in countless other previews. I saw it and was… [Read more…]

Since it’s been two months, I thought I’d start with a bit of random weirdness. It’s recently come to my attention that I pop in some strange places. Here are a few notable regions of body popping. 1. My sternum: when I arch my back or put my arms over my head first thing in… [Read more…]

I’m freaking behind on these things. It’s because I’m working a ton, so I don’t feel too bad, but this is my profession, so I guess my expectations are going to be a bit higher. Anyway, I’ll get cracking again, this is actually nice break from the AP style I need to stick to for… [Read more…]

Sorry, it’s been a while, but it’s been a busy writing season (so I’m actually not that sorry). If anyone’s still reading these, I’m sure you’ve been salivating for my latest bit of wit and wisdom, but for now I’ve just got a quick note for you. I’m at the library trying to get a… [Read more…]

Absolute perfection occurs very rarely in our daily lives. This video reminds me of such a time. When I was in 8th grade, we used to have “open gym” during lunch, where we could play basketball and otherwise run off our energy for the rest of the day. It was a rectangular space with room… [Read more…]

It’s the most difficult question-”What’s your favorite movie?” I don’t think there’s one that I’d pick, even narrowing it down to a top 5 seems daunting, but I think I’ve narrowed it down…here we go. These 5 are ranked on how they’ve affected me personally as well as how “good” I think the movie is,… [Read more…]

I used to tease vegetarians that I knew by saying not only did I eat meat, but I wanted to eat the last of something. I didn’t mean it, of course, but his little joke evolved over years into a tirade about success, culminating in an awkward moment while I was on jury duty a… [Read more…]
