How I will spank 2012 like it owe me money

2011 was pretty much an amazing year of travel for me. It started with snowmobiling in the mountains of New Hampshire, visiting Portland in Maine, hanging out in Boston, flying to Texas for SXSW, visiting Austin and then Dallas, doing a road trip that spanned Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah, and finally a…

Blogging Anniversary – Celebrating 5 years of rantings, screeds, wailings, gnashing of teeth, and unmitigated failures!

Walking on railroad

Exactly five years ago I started this blog. Five years… my goodness has it been that long? First it was a legal blog, but when that career path got derailed, then it became about… nothing.

I had just wrapped up my undergraduate “career” and finished with a…

You know, I seriously hate my job. But before going any further, let’s run through the gamut of why I should be so grateful to have a job first, just to give the dweeb monkeys out there the satisfaction before they start berating me over why I should kiss the sky for still being gainfully…
