In my past life, I played the saxophone. (My hair is like that in the picture because it was the day after homecoming. Gotta love the spiral curls and french roll, but there is no excuse for the big glasses lol). I did not start playing the sax until the ninth grade, but I practiced [...]

A Candle for Matt…Happy Birthday, Friend

| October 14, 2008

I did not get a chance to do this yesterday, but better late than never, right… It has been almost a year since my dear friend Matthew Edward Scheer decided that he had had enough and left us. It was October 16th, 2007, but It still feels like it was yesterday. I still think about [...]

Should I Feel Guilty?

My 60 gig photo iPod has been acting funny. Of course I have several newer iPods in my possession, but this is the iPod that I use to play music around my home. It is the only iPod for which I have a dock, since it was after this model that Apple stopped including docks [...]

The Nameless Fish…That May Be Dying

| October 1, 2008

My family has a legacy of fish as pets. I think the first one that we had was the one that I won at Cedar Point when I was a kid. You had to throw a ring around the tiny fish bowl, and you got the bowl with the fish in it. My prize fish [...]
