Raylan Givens is a fricking badass (and why I might be just like him)

This is my happy face.  For realsies.

Raylan Givens is a TV character from the show Justified, a Deputy U.S. Marshal who has this habit of shooting people, or sometimes groups of people every other episode. They’re always “justified” though, which is why he gets to keep his badge. It seems telling though that he constantly has to draw down on people…

I just don’t want to do anything anymore

I’ve been in a funk lately. I’ve been told it’s the winter blues but it seems to be more than that. Not just a lost of initiative or ambition, but a complete lack of desire to do just about… anything, to the point that it’s starting to concern me. I think it started when I…

It’s official, I’m really going to the Rockies (assuming I don’t get hit by a train before then)

Colorado town and mountains

First I booked the flight, then I booked the rental, and today, after fighting Priceline for 2 days with bids on top of failed bids, I finally booked the hotel, right next to the 16th Street Mall. It actually wound up being closer to the bus stop (where I’ll arrive from the airport) than the…

I could have gone to Massachusetts and volunteered for Scott Brown’s…

The Obligatory “What Am I Thankful For” Post

Another Thanksgiving draws near, and once again it’s time to reflect on what I should be thankful for. … well I got nothing. :-D No seriously, I do have a lot to be thankful for, especially this year. This was after all the year I finally became debt free, after having paid off my credit…

A Rash of Things to Come

Or more specifically, poison ivy rashes, which I somehow got from geocaching in the woods of Pennsylvania. The irony of this? These “woods” were actually right next to a Walmart parking lot, making me think it would be an easy find. Instead I stepped into a batch of poison ivy, resulting in my leaving the…
