Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out [...]

Anybody ever read Christine by Stephen King? It’s about a car that likes to kill people. I’ve decided that my car is similar, though a little more subtle.
When I got in it tonight, I looked down and saw that the digital odometer was proclaiming “LBuono.” I don’t know what that means, but I’m sure it’s [...]

As a boy (who am I kidding? I still do this), I used to daydream about survival. We spent countless hours playing with toy guns or beating each other with sticks in our “sword fights.” The movie Red Dawn was iconic to me. It’s the perfect guy’s movie. Communists invade the US, and some high [...]

This past weekend was truly excellent. First of all, Friday, April 20th, was mine and Lauren’s 6th anniversary. We pawned the kids off on Lauren’s parents, I came home from work early, and she and I had a nice, relaxing evening.
Now before I go further, I should make mention that April 20th is an important [...]

Recently, Sloth Lord Meh, who has commented on this blog before, sent me some very insightful words on the Power of the lazy side of the Force.
Jabba the Hutt had it made. He spent all his time lying on a platform that could be moved around by his servants. All he did was laugh, eat, and [...]

… but I’m pretty sure he’s retired now.
When I was a little kid, my father had the rare gift of striking fear into the hearts of all of my friends. This was an ability that seemed to require no effort on his part – he simply had an aura about him that caused sphincters [...]

Yesterday, I was making deliveries inside Huntsville Hospital when I first saw coverage on the massacre at Virginia Tech. It seemed like everytime I walked past a TV the body count had risen.
Last night, I watched some more of the coverage on what had happened, and many were questioning the way the authorities and the [...]

As I posted earlier, without taking the time to see what I was bidding on, I purchased an Xbox 360 for only $130… that didn’t actually work.
Thursday afternoon, it showed up at my house, and Friday night (once I had gotten back into town), I hooked it up to see just how badly it was [...]

Ok, quite a lot has gone on since the last time I posted.
Currently, I’m sitting in a cold warehouse approximately 150 miles away from my house. Last time I posted, I talked about the rough way that my day had started. Turns out the rest of it actually went pretty well… it seems fate had [...]

I vaguely remember the tail end of my dream last night. For some reason, my friend Matt was working for me. Well, working might be too loose of a term. He was actually standing around listening to some talk radio program, which was going on and on about the Gators winning last night’s game.
I kept [...]
