"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man"-George Bernard Shaw, Man and SupermanI don't know if this is progress or not, but I seem to have fully settled in to my new life. There was … Continue reading Progress

Beats To The Rhyme
I was shoring up plans for the Cleveland National Air Show today and my friend asked me "so...what's it gonna be this year-a 10ft lens?"I told him not quite likely. I may bring a DSLR, but I probably won't. I'm quite likely only going to take the Fuji Instax. I explained that every time I've … Continue reading Beats To The Rhyme
Perfection
Perfection is a fleeting and ever changing ideal. I find that when I say "I have found the perfect XYZ (backpack, messenger bag, ipad case)," that I really need to end that statement with 'for my particular and peculiar needs.' Because, really, your mileage may vary. The thing that makes something perfect for me might … Continue reading Perfection
Too Early For This Sh*t
I don't know why I put the * in Shit in the title but say it here. Doesn't make sense to me. But I do it anyway.These are some of the trappings of thought that go through my head as the last of the NyQuil is wearing off. And I need to trim my nails. … Continue reading Too Early For This Sh*t
Meh Pt. 2
This is a test of the new app I bought today. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It's called Hanx Writer. Pretty much a typewriter app. I can see where it could be freeing--different than many of the other word processing apps. I have to be honest--I think it might be kind … Continue reading Meh Pt. 2
Standard Tuesday Randomness
I'm fighting what appears to be a cold that wants to come in and play around for a while. I don't really have time for that shit, to be honest. So.I'm thinking a good 9 hours of sleep tonight kicked off with a shot of whiskey and a shot of NyQuil ought to put it … Continue reading Standard Tuesday Randomness
No More Fat Todd
We're back to the point of me feeling fat. I can deal with being heavier. I've been a big boy most of my life (yes..I wore Huskies as a kid), but where I draw the line is when I feel fat. I'm at 317. This is the heaviest I have been since I originally started … Continue reading No More Fat Todd
Nanu Na–wait…WTF?
I know this is old news by now and probably isn't even a blip on Facebook anymore, but you may have heard that Robin Williams died.You may not like this post much if you are a die hard fan and wept at the news. Or you may not like me much after you read it. … Continue reading Nanu Na–wait…WTF?
Holy Sh*t That Was Amazing
I'm pretty sure my recap of the Katy Perry concert won't be the only one with that sentiment. It might, however, be the only one to recount the tale of a 42 year-old man crying at a pop concert.But before I get in to that, I just want to pause and take a drink of … Continue reading Holy Sh*t That Was Amazing
Cafe Expresso
I'm thinking that what I need in front of my apartment is a little cafe table and a couple of chairs. Now, granted, my 'patio' as it were is only about 3X3. And there IS a picnic table in the court yard. But still. Even though it might make my patio look a little jank, … Continue reading Cafe Expresso
