Our new approach to disciplining K-Man and teaching him about the realities of life.

NaBloPoMo 2009 Day 18 -- Why I Don't Watch Ultimate Fighting

Why I don't watch ultimate fighting.

NaBloPoMo 2009 Day 10 -- My initial reaction to Dave Ramsey

Couldn't have said it better myself.

21st Century Tribes

I thought Monday should start with a little humor.

Anxiety

It's funny because it's true.

Cornucopia

I don't really have a theme to today's post. So I am cramming everything into a horn-of-plenty-useless-thoughts.

1) In the Thanksgiving edition of the AJC -- the one with all the sales papers for Black Friday -- Jen noticed a circular for Dollar Tree. Isn't everything already super-cheap there? You know, like a dollar?

2) We have a space-heater in K-Man's room. He's figured out that he can control it by turning the temperature knob. In a way, it's now one of his toys. Tonight when I got home from work, he dragged me in there to play with the space heater . . . for 20 minutes. Off . . . on . . . off . . . on . . . off . . . on . . . off . . . on. Can you spend 20 minutes any better?

3) Tomorrow is Match Day 5 in the Champions League group stages. Manchester United takes on Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese futbol club. ManU has already advanced to the knock-out stages of the Champions League competition by winning its first four games of the group stage. The match, being played at Old Trafford, will feature two ManU players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, playing their former clubs.

4) This is not my inner Gator talking, but it would be wrong if UGA plays for the national title without even playing in the SEC championship game. With the way this college football season has gone, I would not be surprised if Pitt beats WVU and OU beats Mizzou this weekend. With Ohio State and UGA not playing, they would likely move into the #1 and #2 slots in the BCS poll giving them the spots in the title game. That would be wrong. The only good that could come from such an anomaly would be the creation of a +1 game for next season.


5) There is a part of me in this cartoon:

Seniors Only

I needed to put something funny on the blog. Enough of the death and dying.

And yes, I identify with this comic. Although I was never hip.

Let's go to the mall

If you've ever seen a screaming kid at the mall, please know that the parents are as embarassed by the screaming kid as you are annoyed. A little mercy people!

And if you were hoping this post was about the great Robin Sparkles tune of the same name. Sorry. But you can watch the video for that great '80s-sounding tune here. The story on Sparkles is that she's Canadian, so the song actually came out in the early '90s when all the '80s trends finally hit Canada.

What animal are you?

I know other people post this comic sometimes, but it's not like there's a limit as to how many people can post the same type of thing. Is there? If so, I'm going to have to break them rules.
