February 17, 2012 By Himmel Ink Leave a Comment

When you know, you know. And the moment I saw you I knew… we were going to break up.

WED LIVE! Should you jump rope?

February 15, 2012 By Himmel Ink 1 Comment

Google is a clever little company. One day, I’m sure it’ll be a big player on the world wide web. It does great, fun things with its logo for various holidays and events and I regularly enjoy its work. But today is not one of those days. There’s a big problem with Google’s Valentine’s Day video.

Love Story: Time to Engage

February 14, 2012 By Binnys Beverage Buyer 1 Comment

I have heard many proposal stories working in the business I do. It is a talking point I go over with clients while I crunch numbers in front of them to keep them engaged. When I proposed to my now wife (she said yes!), I knew I was going to do something different.

Months prior at opening day for the Tigers in Detroit, Michigan, I was given a towel by the Detroit Free Press as a giveaway. The message they were trying to sell to new readers was that it was “time to engage”. I am sure they meant reading the paper and getting into current events but I saw a golden moment as the large text on the towel was time to engage. I kept the towel for seven months!

Love Story: The Simple Energy of Marie

February 14, 2012 By Himmel Ink 3 Comments

Marie came out of nowhere. She was just some artsy girl I knew and we were friendly. The fact that she was the prettiest girl I’d ever been friendly with didn’t matter. Because the little crush I had on Marie was harmless, more flirtatious and amusing than anything else.

Our younger siblings were the same age and in the late spring we both ended up in the back of the junior high school gymnasium patiently waiting for their band concert to be over with. We laughed at our collective misery, which quickly made the hour-long, out of key performance, far too short.

Cynic’s Corner: History Isn’t Pretty

February 14, 2012 By Himmel Ink Leave a Comment

Saint Valentine. A man jailed, beaten and beheaded because he was a Roman priest marrying Christians, which was illegal. My word! I hate to think what would have happened if Saint V. tried to marry the gays. Make him Pope?

Valentine’s Day isn’t so bad. It’s just one day. Tomorrow we can go back to hating each other.

Cynics Corner: A Man & His Dog

February 10, 2012 By Himmel Ink 2 Comments

I only want to be loved without the worry that one day it will surprisingly just end. So I bought a dog. I figure this way, I know without question that I’ve got 13 years before it dies and I’m alone again.

“Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.”

I had a dream about you last night. And I was in it too. And you were being you. And I was being me.

Cynics Corner: Fear of Commitment

February 3, 2012 By Himmel Ink Leave a Comment

My friend Collin recently ended his relationship after two years. He has a terrible fear of commitment. And he knows that once he’s married, it’s not long before he’s divorced. And he can’t commit to hating one person for the rest of his life.
