dead puppies.

my friend kelly just wrote a blog pertaining to a dream she had about pregnancy. she currently isn't pregnant, but if i remember correctly...i am one of 12(!) friends who is expecting a little one!

in regards to dreams, i had my first dream dealing with pregnancy since i have been in baby-carrying-land.

my dream WAS NOT what most would probably considered common. i did not dream about seeing my beautiful little blank for the first time, or experiencing a natural and normal birth, or even just looking down to see a rather large belly.

my dream was about puppies. yep, puppies.

i went into the hospital expecting to give birth to one human being and ended up having two puppies. i don't remember if my dream actually involved me pushing the puppies out of my body, but i do recall the doctor holding them up to show me how cute and healthy they were. (i'll also note, at this point i should have been alarmed...but i was perfectly content...with puppies.)

then my dream shifted and the hospital somehow misplaced one of my pups, leaving me with one pup. i was distraught and deeply saddened.

i woke up...and really, what else can you do but laugh?!

thank god for ultrasounds, or i might be a little worried i have friendly animal growing inside of me! ha!

The cult of celebrity has been bothering me this morning. I guess I just don't get it.

"Beauty is the god of our times and celebrity is our most noble virtue;
the opiate that keeps the zombies blind and in line and hypnotized in worship of the pantheon of sex and shine ... But I refuse to suck at the tit of distraction,
and I refuse to worship the human face." - Ramallah, "Kill a Celebrity"

In other news, I should get back to work. Have a good day, everyone.

Stay Gold!

Music for January

In an effort to track whether or not my music moods vary with the seasons (as I tend to believe they do), I'll be sharing on here from time to time playlists of the music most salient in my listening rotation. Here's what I'm listening to in January:

Songs 1-5: Hardcore
Songs 6-10: Hip-Hop

Stay Gold!

Birthday Meal

Today is my 26th birthday. Sarah and I are not generally known for making a big deal out of birthdays. In fact, we generally forget to call others on their birthdays or send a card. It's just something that we don't find overly important to celebrate.

Sarah was kind enough to make me a birthday dinner tonight. She made a wonderfully delicious meatloaf (even though she hates meatloaf), potatoes, and broccoli. She also bought me some lemon zinger tea and a made me a card. Then, on top of everything else, she took the time to craft a small Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie birthday cake for dessert. It was one of the best cakes I've ever had, for reals. Four cream pies stacked on top of one another with cake frosting in between cream pie and around the sides of the whole oat-tastic obelisk. Check it out:





I love my wife.

A Couple of Homies

This pretty much exactly sums up the relationship I have with my best in the world bro-bot Kevin James Merrill.



Two friends taking it to the next level.

O/U 4evs, dude.
