I forgot to pack my Top Gear

So I’m off on another trip for Uncle Sam. This time though, it’s something very different. Not to the far east, but the mid east. This will be the first time in the region as a civilian. So my first time having to go through Customs and Immigration.

Substitute, Filler, Vegas.

Vegas and I have a very tense relationship. There is so much to do and see and yet I have my favorite places that I end up going every time. It’s like it’s strange and familiar at the same time. When ever I see that continually morphing skyline I know I’m in for a full [...]

Analog answer to a digital question

So here I am in Vegas. Not really diggin it as much as I could, but y’know, I’m coping. I think one of the big reasons is that I’m here working a pretty brutal schedule. Long days that start really early.

Life Sequestered

So I’ve been working in Vegas for this last week. I got two more weeks of this to go yet, and I gotta say.

To Akron and beyond!

So I went back to Akron for vacation a few weeks ago. Why Akron? Well if you haven’t heard that Akron is a booming vacation destination where the East Bay goes to play…….you’re not alone. Actually my dad still lives there. He won’t come out here to see me so if I want to be [...]

Rant On

So,I don’t care that I will wait. I will step out of line, go ahead and pass me by. I don’t mind. I will keep my dignity, for I refuse to wear Velcro fucking shoes. I will wear lace up shoes like a normal upright bipedal man should. I wont travel in slip-ons, loafers or [...]
