WED LIVE! Should you jump rope?

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: The Simple Energy of Marie

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

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

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.

Cynics Corner: Fear of Commitment

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.

Cynics Corner: Oh NO! That’s Awkward!

I used to hang out with this girl named Jaime.  She told me she thought of me as a brother.

I said, “Well, now that makes things awkward because I think of you as a sex doll.”

Cynics Corner: What to do on a Friday night?

The weekend was coming up.  I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to see the movie The Artist.

“I don’t like going to movie theaters.  You know that.  They’re always so cold… and expensive.”
