- Crazy Weekend - Like John Lennon once said, "Strange days indeed!! Most peculiar, momma!" Friday, I came home and we evacuated all contents from our TV room. This includes a sectional sofa, a leather chair, and all multi-media equipment. What this also means... (19:26 | 1 Comments)

- Sprung?? - Hmmmmmmmmmm, well, it seems as though Spring may finally be here. I'm a Winter-loving guy, but I have to admit, I do like the first few warm days. More gears in the moving-away machine keep kicking in. There are some... (06:30 | 3 Comments)

Monday 13 December 2004
- Another Monday - Well, another Monday is upon us. It's one of those "just don't wanna do it again for another week" kind of Mondays so far, but I'm sure it'll get better once I get to work. Right now, I'm just wishing... (07:41 | 4 Comments)

- Long time gone... - Well, after a bit of a hiatus, I'm back. Yeah, like anyone missed me anyhow. My blog got spammed something fierce, and everytime I tried to clean it up via MovableType's interface, it would crash the "server," so I decided... (20:11 | 3 Comments)

- Baby I'm a STAR! - Well, the FOX36 TV crews were at my house the other night to interview me regarding my ay-ziggy-zoomba.com website. They're doing a piece on sports message boards and how they have become a legitimate news-source. Apparently I'm an expert in... (06:46 | 7 Comments)

Tuesday 14 September 2004
- Skeeters - I ran tonight and then upon my return home, I did my customary cool-down-in-the-back-yard-with-a-glass-of-water-and-some-almonds and I got CHOMPED by mosquitos. I counted 8 on me biting at once. Ridiculous! The thing about it is, if I had been out there... (20:20 | 2 Comments)

- So long, old friend... - Well, after 10+ years, I am no longer the owner of a purple 1994 Chevy S-10. It served me well for over 174,000 miles. It was the first "big ticket" item I ever bought on my own. I has taken... (20:11 | 6 Comments)

- Gay marriages - Tuel chimes in on the whole gay marriage issue. I love the way Kris thinks and writes! Personally, I don't think it's the government's place to dictate marriage. Wasn't marriage originally a religious ceremony anyhow? What about that whole "separation... (22:24 | 2 Comments)
