How to Live Your Dreams: "THE TIME-LINE HAS BEEN RESTORED!!!!We're now officially back to normal. Of course, some will cry foul because this comic did run on cracked, but that's just the way my posting schedule works.  Besides, I gotta admit, this particular comic is one of my favorite things I've ever written.

I think the headline says it all.Austrian Man Wins Right To Wear Pasta Strainer In License Photo: "Niko Alm argued that as a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster he was required to wear the 'religious headgear.' After asking him to submit to a mental exam, Austria relented and issued his license."

We watched it on the giant screen at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Lot’s of unfortunate buffering issues. But it was still awesome.Went: Pretty

The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble by Julian Gough is amusing and very much worth reading. It was originally published in the Financial Times and was the first short story they ever published. There's also a BBC radio play about it, though I haven't listened to it, I'm sure it's excellent as well.

The Memory Palace has fascinating podcasts by Nate DiMeo on some of the strangest things in history. From bats as bombers to hallucinating Dutchmen, each one is different, interesting, sad, and funny. I've only listened to the first 5 episodes, but I already recommend it to all 1 of my readers.

Okay, I know I've let this blogger be totally dormant for a long time, but I think it is time to start again. This week, I will start again with regular postings of things I like, personal adventures (I use the word 'adventure' loosely), and news clips.

After reading this news from A.P.C Denim I would like to offer my services to anyone thinking of buying these pre-worn jeans. I will charge the very reasonable price of $20 per jean, if you provide them. I also have some worn jeans that I will sell for $40. For this to really work though your jeans will have to fit a 38" hip, and preferably a 33 or 34" inseam. While I'm not sure how long it

I know I don't often write a personal blog but I thought I'd give it a try. For anyone who doesn't know here's what's happening: Johnny is deployed again, and I still don't have a job. My house is a mess, and I'm having a hard time accomplishing more than just moving the mess around. That covers it.

AbTechThis is just a cool product. This polymer is an amazing filter and is being used by several cities as a filter for water entering storm sewers. I heard about it on the show G Word on the Green TV, and while demonstrating the product the company rep actually filtered a small amount of water from the street, then drank it. That's having some serious faith in your product.

Still, the idea of a remote for contraception could be a problem, and hopefully it will operate on a different frequency than your (and your neighbors') phone, tv, garage door, car door, and remote camera shutter.

Generation Kill is a new HBO series based on a book of the same name written by a journalist Evan Wright who was embedded with the Marine's 1st Reconnaissance Battalion at the start of the Iraq war. When I first heard about this series, I thought it would be trying to show the worse. Then, I saw a 'making of' clip, that made me decide that Generation Kill was worth watching. 3 Marines were

I recently read an article from the New York Magazine called "You Walk Wrong" and besides amusing me, having really cool illustrations, it gives you a lot to think about in terms of what we really need from a shoe. There are in fact no laws that restrict being barefoot in public, in restaurants, or driving. Apparently growing numbers of people are simply walking barefoot everywhere, Or,

BBCPolitics in South America take a very entertaining, and somewhat concerning turn.-Also after a second reading, the title of their article was almost as poorly chosen as my own, though at least mine describes the event.

While playing with Picasa, I discovered that I could use it to upload direct to my blog, so that's pretty much the only reason I'm posting this. Also, the trip to the top of the St. Louis Arch is in tiny, hospital-colored, oddly light, pods worthy of old Science Fiction movies. And the view is bizarre. You can lean into the window see the ground far under your feet. So, that's all for now.

I haven't blogged in a long time, but now that I can do it from my phone I had to try. Typing on this sucks but I'm very excited about the possiblities. In 3hours I have been converted into one of those people who actually care about their phones features. it's a blackberry pearl if any of you care. I wouldn't. also I'm making 9+ lbs of spaghetti tonight and traveling back to berea tomorrow.

For the first time since their invention, I have finally bought a pack of Trivial Pursuit Pop Tarts. As a fan of Trivial Pursuit and snack food with things printed on them it has long past the time that I should have gotten some of these. The flavor is "Quizberry", however I maintain that it is in fact strawberry. Well, poptart strawberry flavored. First question: What is an adult glowworm

So I just ate at a Cracker Barrel in Missoula, Montana. I was too excited. I think the waitress was a bit concerned about it. Anyway, it was good. Also, it's the highest North of any Cracker Barrel, barely edging out Bismark, North Dakota. Yay.

We were going to be seperated anyway, but a deployment makes it worse, and it will be for much more time than we planned.My brother is coming out to visit and help, and then we'll begin a long road trip home.How

I recently read The Life of Pi, and I don't want to give much away, so I'm just going to say, I liked the story, the ending was weird, but now that I've thought about it I like the ending too. Overall, I recommend The Life of Pi, it has a lot of interesting things going on, but is a pretty easy, and enjoyable read.
