According to some people, there are only two sets of groups to hang out with: the flock or the wild goats. The flock is always Good and the wild goats are forever Bad. There is no grey area here. But what if the flock are just goats in sheep’s clothing? Better yet, what if the […]

Short Workout
Usually when first exposed to all the heavy weights and buff bodies at a fitness center, one ends up heading home feeling out of shape and unattractive. During my first two weeks attending a fitness center, however, I have come home feeling incredibly short. I’ve gotten a good routine started at the gym. First, my […]
wednesday musings
Things are slowly beginning to settle into place now. My sister is getting married in just four weeks, her fiancé just got a new job (“So now they don’t have to live at the Jimmy Hale Mission,” Mom says), and Steven will be a college graduate in a little over two months. It’s been a […]
salad ratios
Stupid Foodland strikes again; they ruined my salad! I ran by there earlier today to pick up some vittles and they had their fresh chef salads out, which I had tried once before and was pleasantly satisfied. On today’s batch, the composition was much shoddier. First, they forgot my cheese, that good, squishier white cheese […]
The state bird, the state flower, the state tree, the state symbol, the state . . . alcohol?
Well, if it’s not one thing, it’s another. The great state of Alabama now has an official state ‘spirit.’ ‘Spirit’ meaning ‘whiskey.’ Yes, that’s right, folks. The Alabama legislature overrode the governor’s veto this week to name Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey the official state spirit. Pause for dumbfounded speechlessness. Now let me get this […]
Another Sign I’m Getting Older, I’m Afraid
I am having the weirdest time with my recent toothpaste selections. Man, I never thought I’d have toothpaste on my mind so much that I’d want to write about it. Maybe I’m getting old. That’s probably it. I’ve been having this problem with my back, too . . . In the past, I’ve usually gone […]
Wal-Mart Technology: Oxymoron of the Year
After avoiding it for over a week (which is probably a new record for me), I went to the local Wal-Mart today. Uggg, Wal-Mart: can’t live with it, can’t live without it (because then you’d have to go to the FoodLand instead, and we know how that goes). Our local Wal-Mart, obviously thinking more of […]
It’s about bloody time
War Damn Eagle! I never thought I’d be so excited over beating Vanderbilt, but I am, I am. I’m so estatic that we did not lose! Not only did we not lose, we creamed them. Just ignore the mess that was the first quarter, and that was the team I knew from last year, penalties […]
Musing on the RIAA
Here’s an interesting side note from the whole “RIAA Sues The World” saga (surely you heard they sued a 12 year old girl): “Meanwhile, several internet music services have offered to pay the $2,000 (£1,255) fine paid by the mother of 12-year-old Brianna LaHara to settle the lawsuit the RIAA had filed against the girl.
