I am skepti-cool
This blog is definitely not in the vein of my normal posts but it does shed light on the inner workings of my brain when I am not entirely consumed by the human digestive system. I recently had a brief engagement regarding the subject of this blog and was politely told I should “read a book”. After a burning through the Twilight series and Dr. Seuss’ Hop on Pop, it appears my opinions haven’t changed much. Part of my reticence to post on ...
Happy Birthdizzle to me!
I was humbly overwhelmed by the many wishes for a happy birthday that were sent from all of my friends. With so many people counting on me to have a good day it felt shallow to just respond with a "I had a great day". How in the world would you know if that was true or not? You wouldn't!! So I have decided to provide you with evidence that, per your wishes, my birthday was indeed happy. For those of you who HADN'T wished me happy birthday, I ...
PUB22 Review
Let me first start out by saying you and I have a lot in common. For example, our favorite pizzas are (obviously) from Peter Piper Pizza. When I’m bored, (does this even need to be said?) like you I enjoy juggling rubber band balls while gargling cough syrup. Finally, I wasn’t a big fan of El Charro either. My excitement when their restaurant opened in Sahuarita quickly diminished after a few meals. I was mostly unhappy with the service (I ...
Love Class is in Session!
Gentlemen, welcome to Professor Varner’s class on romancing the ladies. What follows are some tips I want to share with you gentlemen to help make those special ladies in your life feel even special-er. Don’t ask Karina how these have worked out because she will try to be humble on my behalf and say I am the least qualified person to speak on romance. She is so sweet like that. Now, the first step in persuasive writing is to establish ...
I got my tattoo!!
Rather than a monotonous play-by-play of my experience, I thought I'd try something a little bit new. I would attempt to delve into you, my loyal reader's, psyche. While in your psyche I would root around a bit to find the burning questions you have about my tattoo. Here's what I came out with: (You) What made you want a tattoo? (Me) Good question friend. I wanted a tattoo for many reasons. One of the main and most legitimate reasons is ...
Tattoo!
Recently an outbreak of tattoos has sprung up at church and I failed to get myself vaccinated. All of the sudden I have an appointment to get “inked” (as those of us in the tattooed community* call it) this Friday! That’s right, I have only 5 days or so to enjoy my wondrous blank canvas of a body. *shortly This is a pretty big change for me as I have gone a personal best 32 years without a tattoo up to this point. It’s not that I ...
Changing Oil Like a Boss!
As is the case every 3 months or 3,000 miles I recently found myself needing an oil change for my truck. RAMantha, as she is affectionately known (I thought of RAMuel L. Jackson too late) deserves only the best treatment. That is why my first call was to the local Dodge dealership to find out the price of an oil change. I was quoted $95. Yamahama! “Heck no” was my reaction. I’m not paying $95 for an oil change when a Jiffy Lube can have it ...
Under the Dome – An Unbiased Review
I love Stephen King's novels as much as the next guy...as long as the next guy can give or take them. For example, I find his shorter stories to be very intriguing (ie. The Mist) but many of his full length novels tend to be a bit verbose...at least I assume as I didn't read them. Recently I found out about his novel called "Under the Dome" which had a fascinating premise. I was extremely tempted to read it. However, I then found out that the ...
I Went to Disney World!
As any casual observer of my FaceBook feed has been aware, recently our family embarked on a Disney vacation. Rather than bore you, my loyal reader (hello, anyone out there?…hello?), with a chronological recap of our 10 days of leisure, I have decided instead to provide a review of places we visited. This way you are informed as to your options should you decide to vacationate in the Floridial area. My first review will cover our lodging in ...
Field Trip/Best Day Ever!!
One of the perks of being a work at home dad (besides reporting for duty in Batman underoos) is the ability to go on field trips with my kids. Normally the field trips are to your standard “field-trippy” destination; places like The Tucson Children’s Museum, the Sonoran Desert Museum, or the zoo. Sure, those are fun and I like animals as much as the next guy. But riddle me this: when was the last time you needed to know the diet of an ...
