On Wednesday, the day after the birth of your Lord, I went and blew away some clay pigeons with a shotgun. Trent invited me to join him and his father down in Orting. His dad, Jay, and his dad’s buddy, Bryan, taught me how to use a shotgun. It’s pretty simple, you just load in the shells, cock, and fire.… read more “Shotguns”
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
I just finished reading “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. Her philosophy, Objectivism, embodies most of what I believe: individualism, reason, free market capitalism, and allowing people to build for their own success. “Atlas Shrugged” builds on Ayn Rand’s previous book, “The Fountainhead” and greatly expands her philosophy. The actual writing and plot are not very good, but her ideas are brilliant.… read more “Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand”
Trent’s New Duds
My friend Trent just purchased a beautiful 2000 Audi TT MK1 with turbo and 230 HP. Trent will now be cruising in a gorgeous car with 18” rims, tight suspension and great handling. Pictures of Trent’s new ride are below.
Trent is a very, very lucky man. Mmm… What a sweet car.
I. Want. One.
And I will kill to get it.… read more “Trent’s New Duds”
Can’t Miss Bowl Games
College football’s bowl season is now upon upon us. The system that the NCAA currently has in place is badly broken, so there will be many games that aren’t worth watching. However, there are still a few pretty good ones if you have the time. Check out below:
December 27, 2007– Pacific Life Holiday Bowl at San Diego California.… read more “Can’t Miss Bowl Games”
Almost There…
Two more work days and then I have nine straight days of vacation! I may even have eleven if my boss lets me take New Years Eve day off as well. I haven’t had this much vacation in a year and a half- I think the most I’ve taken off was four or five days in a row.… read more “Almost There…”

Bought Myself A Chef’s Knife, Sharpener and Cutting Board…
Yesterday, I picked up a nice Foreshner 8” chef’s knife, a ceramic sharpener and a nice cutting board. I used them last night to cook myself up a fine batch of hobo hash. Hobo hash is a mix of potatoes, grilled onions, hamburger, garlic, eggs and other tasty stuff. I made myself a massive quantity. Yum.

L0rir0se’s Photography
L0ri asked me to post a link to her online photo album here, so go check it out- L0rir0se’s photography. Some of it is pretty good, especially the black and white pictures. My favorites are “Carnavale in Venezia”, “Christina Chen” (b&w), “Roses and Orchids” and “Venice”.
Friday Wild Man
Big plans last night. I had a few different friends all with fun stuff they wanted to do. A couple of coworkers wanted me to go out to Tiki Bob’s with them and I was kind of interested because I haven’t gone out in Pioneer Square since I moved into it. Another friend, Zosia, who had just finished her semester at law school was out partying in Ballard and invited me to meet up.… read more “Friday Wild Man”
