Hectic Time

I’ve continued to debate whether to continue this blog. The fact that my life has been pretty hectic for the past few months hasn’t helped push me toward choosing to continue. But since it’s late on a Friday afternoon and I’m pretty much done as far as being productive at work, I thought I’d see what [...]

Stuff

I know this is late, but I’m finally getting around to mentioning it here. BC won its 2nd National Championship in hockey in the last 3 years last Saturday with a 5-0 whitewashing of mighty Wisconsin. This came after a 7-1 thrashing of No. 1 overall seed Miami. Wisconsin was the #3 overall seed, while [...]

How Do You Use a Magazine?

No, I’m not talking about this (go to the 2:50 mark and watch the next minute or so): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtfGu8z7Lhw

When I was in college, one of my roommates and I took jui jitsu classes during our 4 years in school. We really enjoyed it, as the head instructor was a fellow student. When we were up [...]

Adventures After Dark

It’s been a while, but I am excited to announce that the Conman’s nocturnal activities have returned with a flourish.  A few nights ago I had a vivid dream that I was eating a bowl of cereal (Special K with chocolate bits, a stupendously tasting delight for an allegedly healthy cereal) along with a bunch [...]

Sarah, Beans, and News

Ah, Sarah Palin. I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers, that’s for sure, but she has got to be one of the most dangerous people out there. You know why? Because she thinks she’s smart and knowledgable even though she’s an ignorant retodd:

This is so me

I love this video. If BC ever makes it to the National Championship Game before I die, then I’m sure that something bad will happen late in the game and I’ll have a reaction similar to this one. I love how nervous Ms. Viking is in this video right before the pick.

I’m currently reading George Kimball’s “Four Kings” about Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns, and Roberto Duran and their domination of the last great era of boxing. In the book, there is mention of an incident that occurred in 1977 after a fight between heavyweights Scott LeDoux and Johnny Boudreaux. After Boudreaux is awarded a [...]

Stay or Go?

As you can see, I have not posted much of anything in the past few months. I am currently undecided as to whether I should continue to occasionally post on this blog, or do away with it altogether. I’m not sure I have anything interesting left to say. Some might say I’ve never had anything [...]

Yeah, I’m Still Here

I want to apologize to my 3-4 loyal readers for the dearth of postings over the past month or so. Between being busy at work, Thanksgiving, and not much exciting going on, I got lazy and stopped posting. I’ll try to pick it up.  Let’s get to a random grab bag of goodies:

Quick: Man or [...]
