Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

True quote about parents

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Private Henry Holden (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on June 25, 1876, at Little Big Horn River, Montana. His citation reads:

Brought up ammunition under a galling fire from the enemy.

Captain Nelson M. Holderman (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on October 2-8, Northeast of Binarville, in the forest of Argonne, France. His citation reads:

Capt. Holderman commanded a company of a battalion which was cut off and surrounded by the enemy. He was wounded on 4, 5, and 7 October, but throughout the entire period, suffering great pain and subjected to fire of every character, he continued personally to lead and encourage the officers and men under his command with unflinching courage and with distinguished success. On 6 October, in a wounded condition, he rushed through enemy machinegun and shell fire and carried 2 wounded men to a place of safety.

Private James Holehouse (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on May 3, 1863, at Marye’s Heights, Virginia. His citation reads:

With one companion voluntarily and with conspicuous daring advanced beyond his regiment, which had been broken In the assault, and halted beneath the crest. Following the example of these 2 men, the colors were brought to the summit, the regiment was advanced and the position held.


I got to see my friend Jenn for the first time in a long time yesterday. I almost didn’t see her. I was walking into my eye doctor appointment and I heard a woman shouting my name. Friends, I learned back in high school that if I were to stop every time a member of the opposite sex shouts my name I’d never get anywhere. Still, I decided to turn around yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see my friend. Then I remembered my eye doctor is next to her favorite drug dealer… errrr… favorite coffee shop and realized it was only natural for her to be there. Still, it was good to see her. I wish we’d hang out more, but it’s hard since she is big time rivals with The Wife.
