Happy Early Mother’s Day!

Since I’ll be leavin’ on a jet plane to Italy on Mother’s Day, and not returning for about a month, I decided that I wanted to give an early shout to my mom. She kind of looks like Celine Dion, but way less cheesy and much more bonita… or “linda”… which is her name! [...]

How old are you… REALLY!

I just decided to take a little break from work to visit a web site I have been hearing about called www.realage.com. It’s like www.deathclock.com but not as intimidating. The idea is that it asks you a bunch of questions and then tells you if you are healthier than what’s expected of your [...]

Cherry Creek Sneak

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at my “time to beat” for the Cherry Creek Sneak coming up this Sunday. It’s just a little ol’ fun run here in Denver. 5 Miles, no big whoop. Last year:

Anyway, recently we finished our new online proofing system. It’s kind of new. We actually created it in 2003 under [...]

Monkey Tossing; What a gorgeous day!

Today started of well. REEEEEAL well.
I got up at 5 AM, did a quick email check, and found some welcome spam, a 25% off coupon for Barnes and Noble. Perfect timing, as I am planning on going there to pick up Quicken for Dummies. I just got started with Quicken and I [...]

The Mark Cafiero Theme Song, My Funeral

You know, below in “BBQ like a Mexican” I mentioned that I need some new music. I sure hope I’m not tempting fate with this post!
I just found exactly what I was looking for, although it’s not steel guitar. I want this to become my life song, and I just want to put [...]

What kind of man wears Old Spice?

As of two days ago… I DO! It was a totally planned purchase at King Soopers!
That’s right! Laugh if you will, but I’m a cheap-cologne wearing guy. Some people will decide if they like a cologne only after seeing the price tag. Cheap… AWFUL; Expensive… REALLY NICE!
To that, I say [...]

BBQ like a Mexican!

Has anyone ever seen Office Space? You know how Peter-man is sort of jealous of his construction-worker neighbor, Lawrence? That’s how I feel about Mexicans (should I refer to them as Mexican-Americans?) Sorry I don’t know the most PC way to refer to people. But sometimes I will be out near [...]

How About A little Fashion Photography

So there’s this girl who did some altering to the curtains in my office. Is that the right term? “Altering”? Sorry.
Anyway we did a trade of services. Instead of paying her for… “altering”??? I photographed her so that she could update her talent card… or something like that. I’m not [...]

Funny Dream Last Night

I was no longer a photographer.
Suddenly I was preparing for my first day in the Air Force.
I had a brand new uniform.
My rank: General. Not bad.
I went to bed (in my dream) and lay there, proud and confident, but upset. I’m not supposed to be in the Air Force, I thought. I [...]

APRIL PITY THE FOOLS! (the “who cares but me” post - sorry!)

I’m riding on a gravy train with biscuit wheels, man!
It’s APRIL! I have to say, the first three months of this year have been a LOT of work. If any of my peeps remember, I officially declared 2008 as “The Year of Lateral Thinking”.
I’m also determined to make this year one that is [...]
