"Please tell us in your own words..."
I hate when reporters say this to someone they are interviewing. Just once, I’d love to see an interviewee reply, “My words? My OWN words? Oh, well then no comment. I thought you wanted someone else’s words, which I’m perfectly happy to tell you. But my words? Please.”

Me: Currently reading up on PGP email encryption.
Longtime Friend: I hear it's pretty good. (okay, nerdaciously horrible joke!!)
Me: I expect nothing less!

To My Old Master →
discoverynews:
In August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm. Jourdan — who, since being emancipated, had moved to Ohio, found paid work, and was now supporting his family — responded spectacularly by way of the letter seen below (a letter which, according to newspapers at...

WatchFrom my collection of obscure 1990’s songs, this is Earth to Andy, a Charlottesville-based rock band formed in the late 90s. While the song “I’m Still After You” - off their 1999 album Chronicles, was their biggest hit, reaching No. 39 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts in 1999, my favorite song is “Everafter.” Carry on.

I amuse me
So, last night She’s blow drying her hair and when done, She comes out of the bathroom, hair all over the place. She was waiting for me to say something witty and make her laugh. I paused for a moment, searching for the appropriate response… then said the following…

Talk is cheap (reblogged, not a conversation we...
(Please read her tone as snarky and sarcastic)
Her: Did you watch the State of the Union?
Me: I tuned in around 10 while I was folding laundry.
Her: You didn't watch the whole thing?!
Me: Did something big happen?
Her: I just thought you were an Obama lover.
Me: If by Obama lover you mean an awesome Democrat, then yes I am. But no, I did not sit there with a bowl of popcorn to devour his every word. I've only ever watched one State of the Union and that's because I had to write a paper on it. I'll catch the highlights and main points from the news that I watch every morning, or NPR on my commute, or by READING.
Her: Yea, but the places you get your news are probably biased. I just thought you cared more.
Me: Listen, actions speak louder than words. It's an old tradition to stand up there and say a lot of pretty words to make people feel good. Not watching it doesn't mean I don't care.
kimbaland asked: The comment was a criticism of people I follow on Tumblr who equate that hug with his presidency. On my dash Obama is loved for his tie choice, Michelle's fashion, the dog, etc. If you want to say you love him for x, y, & z policies, I don't have a problem. And I agree that any president would have done the same. But, don't forget about trivial criticisms of Republicans -...

Major goalie crush! Seriously. I’m the goalie for the reigning NRUSA champions. It’s purely a soccer-related crush.

Google analytics is pretty nifty!
For example, I know that more than a few people in Charlottesville visited my Tumblr in the last 30 days and spent an average of 5:23 on the site, which by the way, is powered by Business Bullpen’s Single A theme.
I lived in Charlottesville (home of the Wahoos) for nearly four years, so it’s not surprising that an old friend or colleague is catching up on what I’ve been doing...

Path is my favorite social network →
My jerk friend Todd introduced me to Path (he also introduced me to Tumblr four years ago) and after nearly of month, it is my favorite social networking tool and the first one I got to when I want to post an update.
First of all, Path is only for your iPhone, Droid or iPad. You can’t login to a website from your laptop or desktop and update your status - everything is done through your...

“Path isn’t cluttered with self-promotional links or YouTube videos of sneezing...”
– A great anonymous quote posted on Path by my jerk friend Todd about why Path is better than Facebook. I love Path, but only allow access to people with whom I have a personal connection.

Today's workout - Day 2 of a 3-day split - Biceps...
My biceps… are on… FIRE! This was a brutal routine. I seriously thought my biceps were going to rip right out of my skin. (How’s that for an after-lunch picture-in-your-head?). Anyhow, just like the chest and tris, it was a little embarrassing to be lifting relatively light weights, but you have to when you’re doing 24 sets, all of which are targeting two muscle groups.
