don’t be a jerk

I really would like to have named this post “5 pieces of practical advice” but I had a hard enough time coming up with 4.
I am in no way implying that I have my shit even remotely together enough to be telling other folks how to live their lives, but I do think that I [...]

I have two buddies, Neil and Mike G, that have pretty much eliminated the need for me to actually look up any info.
When I need to find something out, whether it’s about how the stock market works or how babies are made, 95% of the time, I can get an easy, well-crafted explanation from [...]

So I’ve been seeing a new girl for the past few months. She’s a real cheery type. Ebullient and optimistic, I would even say.
She also happens to probably be the one person in the world that knows even less about football than I do.
I don’t care a lick about the Patriots nor the Giants, [...]

Just so folks know, iWeb (good riddance) always splarged out my URL to be “http://www.trickstergod.com/blog/try_and/try_and.html”

E*star LA tagged me awhile back. I don’t always do these things, but this seemed open-ended and fun enough. I’ll try not to repeat revelations from this post.

Part II of my 72 Hour Film Shootout experience. You can read Part I here.
 
I’m pretty nasty and wrecked when I wake up the next morning. I pop a couple of Excedrin and a red bull and head over to Rickmond’s wife’s shop with Neil.
We get there before Rickmond. He’s characteristically late, but I ain’t [...]

Still working on my next installment of the 72 Hour Film Shootout. It’s actually written. Unfortunately, it’s also long and boring. I’ll post it when it’s readable.
In the meantime:
I just saw Transformers tonight at the Mann Village. Don’t read any further if you don’t want to hit the spoilers.

Okay, so it was a very cool [...]

Over the weekend, some very mean, nasty robber men broke into my apartment and told me that I would have to choose between my beloved parrot, Ed O’Neill, and my beloved, brand new iPhone.
I totally flipped out and killed them all with my bare hands, so everything’s cool now, but seriously I think I would [...]
