When Ness and I first saw this video we though “no fucking way” because a) it’s too awesome to be real and b) it’s just crazy. But we Googled it and found out that it is, in fact, real.
National Geographic has this to say about the Pistol Shrimp:
When the claw snaps shut, a jet of [...]

I was watching television when there was a knock on the door.  I answer.
Random Guy: I was wondering if you have any band-aids…?
Me: Yea, what size do you need?
Random Guy: Well, big enough to cover this (points to a hickey)
Seriously? That’s just awesome.

I haven’t seen this around much. Not even Facebook or MySpace does this, even though they have a huge community of trans people using their sites. More sites should do this. It pisses me off when there are only two genders, or worse yet, “Rather Not Say”. Well, of course I’d [...]

Well, he’s out of surgery, should be home tonight.  They took out 2 tumors in his back that were pretty deep in and one tumor out of his neck.  He has to have another surgery because they found two more tumors in his neck and then there’s the one in his chest to deal with.  [...]

Thanks to Kristin, I now have my archives up on here so you can browse my old content.  I apologize if your feed reader’s are going crazy!! That’s all I wanted to say.

The other day when we all did our internet valentine’s videos, I let my sisters watch them all with me. They thought Josue was cute, by the way. Well, Lisa, who is awesome, decided to draw pictures of her internet valentines. Anyway, my sister, Andrea, was watching Lisa’s video with me and [...]

It hasn’t been a good week.  But enough about that.  Thank you, Lisa and Daniel!  You guys both rock.  You made my horrible week all better.
Some friends and I started a Flickr group…about book piles.  Take a picture of your book pile and join us!  Mine will be up ASAP.

I’ve been using Media Temple as my host for awhile now and I’ve been relatively happy so far. I don’t contact customer service often, because I stick to things I know. I don’t often venture out into unknown territory. Well, I’ve been gaining some skills and I wanted to try out something [...]

I usually don’t make resolutions because I can’t, or don’t, keep them. I don’t think I’ve made any resolutions since…high school. I’m just lazy. This year I’ve promised myself that I will keep my resolutions, since I’m going to the trouble to actually making them. So, in the spirit of keeping [...]

I had planned to write a Best of post, but I’ve been thinking all day about it, and about 2006 in general, and realized that my year was pretty shitty. There were great moments, but my life this year doesn’t warrant a best of post. 2006 was the year that I realized that [...]

I was minding my own business, actually I was working on a new web app, when Brian messaged me saying “congrats!” I was a bit surprised and didn’t know what in heck he was talking about. It clicked eventually and I flew over to the 9rules blog and w00t! my name was in [...]

I last posted on Saturday about Mandy’s cookies and CD’s. I’ve concluded that her cookies are absolutely amazing and some of the best cookies I’ve ever had and her CD’s (both 1 and 2) are the best mixed CD’s ever. No, I’m not sharing.
Christmas Eve I spent with my family at my grandparents. [...]

Mandy, my friend from St. Louis, sent me a package and it arrived today. All I knew was that there would be cookies and two mixed CD’s. I also knew that she wrapped the CD’s with many layers of wrapping paper. I wasn’t even expecting it to come today, since she had [...]

I’m applying to colleges. Most of them are due by the end of the month and I have no idea what to do. I don’t remember even blinking when I applied to colleges out of high school. I knew, or thought I knew, what I had wanted, so I did it. [...]

Colie (to me): What’s the capital of California?
Me: Sacramento.
Andrea: Sacramento is the capital of California? When did it go there?
Me: Um, it’s always been there.
Andrea: So, wait, what’s the capital of Detroit?
Me: Detroit is a city, it’s in Michigan.
Andrea: I thought Detroit was a state.
Me: No, it’s a city, in the state of Michigan.
Later, [...]

Gaby always asks me why I don’t write about her on my blog. I used to, I just stopped when we started dating. It’s one thing to talk about someone when you’re leading up to a relationship, its a whole other thing when you’re in a relationship.
It’s not that I didn’t want to [...]

First, I should really learn to stay away from my blog when I’m not in a good mood. Bad things happen.
So, I woke up today and my sister Andrea’s iPod was flippin out and she couldn’t get it to work. Her computer conked out so I had to reformat it on my computer. [...]

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. You know that saying that people use when you’re grumpy or in a shitty mood. Well, that’s me today. Except I woke up angry and depressed. For most of the day I’ve stared out a fogged up window, trying to [...]

When I was younger, meaning when I didn’t have arthritis, I loved the snow.  I would spend hours outside in it, building intricate snow forts or kickass snowmen.  I would plop down on the ground and make snow angels, or I would perfect my snowball making.  But now that I’m older, and my knees hurt [...]

Yep, you are.  If you visit here, you’ll notice a new design is up.  I was going to make a theme myself, but I decided it would just be best for me to keep working on that and get all the bugs out, so what you see here is the design I had in mind [...]
