I love the soft mints that you can get at some restaurants. Sure, any mint will do, but the soft mint… that’s like a little nugget of heaven. The second it touches your tongue, it just dissolves into nothing, leaving behind joy and a fresh mouth. Hey, that’s where Angel Mints get their name – the heavenly experience. Clearly, it’s a perfect name.
So of course, when I’m walking out of a restaurant...

Internet 2.0
The update to the internet is not allowing me access to a site.
My supervisor and manager would state that access to this site is necessary for the tasks assigned to me.
Dear Sticky Fingers
Dear Sticky Fingers,
I knew that one day your thievery would branch out from the occasional lunch. Although I rarely had my own food swiped (mostly because I don’t use the break room fridge), I never agreed with the audacity that you displayed so well. Even when you felt generous and decided to only eat half of someone’s lunch, I still thought it was wrong, and I was quite vocal about it.

Shape Shifters?
Recently, I was on the way to the restroom, and I passed a guy in the hallway. It struck me odd that this man, dressed in a full suit and holding a briefcase, was just standing in the middle of the hallway but whatever. I said “Hello” as I passed him and that was that.
I was only in the restroom long enough to pee and wash my hands, and when I came out and walked back down the same hallway, a...
Just Another Pig in a Pizza Place
When I was in high school, there was a great neighborhood pizza joint that we used to hang out all the time that was called Just Another Pizza Place. I started thinking about that place the other day, when a friend of mine mentioned Miss Piggy. It’s weird that a muppet always reminds me of this pizza place, I know, but there’s a good reason.
One day, my friend and I went there to enjoy some BBQ...
It’s 36
Back in the day, I used to work for Alltel in Customer Service. I’ll be honest, it sucked. I met a lot of great people that I am still friends with now, but as far as the job went, it sucked. They focused more on statistcs and numbers than they did their employees. Every second of your time was measured and accounted for.
One of the great freedoms that you would get is when a call would come in...
Sk8 or Die or… Whatever
As a kid, I skated a lot. I started on roller skates and frequented Skate World, but the skateboard was what eventually became a much bigger part of my life.
When I was in the first grade, the neighborhood I lived in was split, one side mostly being the bike kids and the other ruled by skaters. The dividing point was Sweetwater Park, a small unassuming park in the middle of the neighborhood. The...
