    I’m writing this post because Garfield wanted to say happy Halloween to everybody. ’tis a good day, I have to say. Don’t die, it’s bad for you. Oh, and so is eating a ton of candy. One other thing… If you donate blood on Halloween, they give you a cool pin that says ‘Holiday Hero’…

    Today, while I was driving the last stretch of my journey home from Provo, I noticed something that I had never seen before. As we all know, this time of year, every couple of years, the world seems to magically fill up with signs bearing various names. For the most part, at least at the…

    In the past few years, I have tried to remain a fencesitter in the constant duel between Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. But this neutrality seems to be coming to an end. Rather, I just realized yesterday that I’m not so much a U of U fan. Not to say that the…

    Yes, that’s right. This weekend, I experienced the coldest day that I have in quite a long time. It was a day unequaled by any in Arizona. And therefore I am happy. I like cold. I like snow. So, I was happy. But, I was not here. I do believe that it snowed here. But…

    While I was reviewing the candidates available for my vote in this coming election, I realized something rather ridiculous. You see, under the category for ‘Governor’ and ‘Lieutenant Governor’, I found a rather surprising name, that of “Superdell” Dell Schanze. Am I the only one somewhat frightened by this? As I investigated further, I happened…

    Today, whilst  I enjoyed a lovely session of my biology class, a wonderful thing happened. You see, we had just finished a nearly two-hour lecture when the teacher abruptly stopped and said, “I suppose it’s time for the quiz.” Now, I knew the whole time that this had been coming. But I also knew that…

    Who wants to pay $90 to get applyclan.com back? Any volunteers? Because I know that I sure don’t. And guess whose fault it is? I’m blaming godaddy. The reason that I am doing so mostly relates to Godaddy.com’s lovely assumption that no one would ever want to change services to someone else. I mean, why…

    Yesterday I made a rather sudden decision to change webhosts. I realized that I was getting tired of the old host. I mean, they served me well for quite some time, but then I noticed that other services provided much more space and whatnot at a lower price. So, I made the switch. The other…

    I recently realized that I had completely forgotten the joys of going to live performances. Luckily, this week I was blessed with an opportunity to go to one, and therefore have refreshed my memory of the beauty of concerts and whatnot. Last night I was able to attend the O.C. Tanner Gift of Music concert…

    The ferocious Gabon Duiker, also known as Cephalophus leucogaster, is an animal known to inhabit parts of Africa. It is related to the antelope, though it is much more dangerous. Its venom could kill an elephant in a mere three minutes. If I were to tell the truth, however, such would not be the case.…
