Magadog Popped My Cherry
The first time I saw Magadog perform was at a hemp fest being held at Lowry Park Zoo. My friends and I were all too concerned in what we could find at a hemp fest, and we knew nothing about the band that was about to get on stage. They could have been a lounge act from Denver or a Grateful Dead tribute band for all we cared. But they weren’t.
When they got on stage, the keyboardist (Jim) started...

Gas Prices: Enjoy ‘Em While They Last
The last time I filled up my gas tank, gas was about $1.60 for a gallon of regular unleaded. That’s about 60% below what it was selling for back in July. Back then, I never dreamed there would be such a drop. I don’t think any of us imagined that. There’s no denying the pleasure of filling up for $20 or $30 less than it cost just a few short months ago. It sure puts a smile on my face, and it...
Overheard Work Conversation #679
Guy 1: You know, I asked my friend in sports how much they paid a bench warmer, and he told me 70 thousand. Man, 70 THOUSAND to sit on your ass! Haha. I’d do that for 70 thousand. I’d sit on a bench for that. Hey, water boy! Come here! Haha. I least I could pick on him. 70 thousand, man. 70!
Guy 2: You actually still have to be good to be a bench warmer.
Guy 1: Yea.
Wading Through Poo Water
Recently, there was a sewage backup at my sister-in-law’s work, and she helped move computer equipment out of harm’s way. As a result, she had a newly contaminated pair of sneaks. It sucked, but her company didn’t skip a beat. Immediately, they offered to buy her a new pair of shoes, so all she had to do was go buy a pair and give them the receipt to get reimbursed. Sweet deal and pretty damn fair...
A Rekindled Love for Mixtapes
Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do’s and don’ts. First of all you’re using someone else’s poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing.
The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you...

Why I Hate That One Restroom At Work
Most of the restrooms for the building I work in are single person rooms, and there is one restroom that is usually the one that you want to avoid. It’s just the worst one in the building, flat out. Obviously, I can’t speak for the ladies restrooms, but I feel pretty confident that this one is tops on the list of least favorite places to pee and poop. Here are the 5 main reasons I try to avoid the...
