- U.S. Open Wrap-up.
I found it fitting not to publish this until the Open actually concluded, and seeing as Tiger just wrapped it up on the 19th hole today, this is long overdue:
I was able to spend Father’s Day with my very own Father at the U.S. Open. It was a great day of golf, on a gorgeous [...]Popularity: 18% [?]
- Try Giving Them Some Credit.
Our country is so incredibly lost in how it treats young people. It’s no wonder young people in America feel lost or the need to act out. No one possibly thinks these people are capable of greatness.
What happened to all the faith being in young people? What happened to giving everything to the future generations [...]Popularity: 18% [?]
- Y2Khai.
A number of years ago in college, the fellow members of our secret society were in a computer lab, doing secret society things, when one of us stumbled upon a CD-R with the words “Y2KHAI” written on them. Since we were in a lab full of Apple’s we popped it in one and one of [...]

- Triple Header, Dual Coast.
I use iCal to keep track of my schedule, and I also use it to subscribe to my favourite sport teams schedules. It’s a handy little feature available for almost any team, and having these calendars sync with my iPhone gives me a constant connection to what said teams are up to. I have these [...]

- An Open Letter To Dodger Stadium.
Dear Dodger Stadium,
You suck. Not because your stadium has 2 escalators in the whole place even though it was built on a hill, not even because you can only enter the stadium exactly where you are sitting, you suck for the fact that I cannot enjoy a game of baseball without almost dying.
I have 2 [...]Popularity: 71% [?]
- This Is A No Blog Weekend.
So I’m down in San Diego for the weekend; celebrating my Mother’s birthday (got her an easel, acrylics, watercolours and related supplies), spending time with the niece, moving furniture around, saboteur’ing with some friends. I haven’t been on the internet most of the weekend, and hardly have even seen my computer. So this is me [...]

- Urban Meyer Is Amazing.
The Floriduh (SIC, Ed.) Gators won the National Championship not long ago, in two sports. They recently became pretty lame in both sports, but I really don’t expect that to last long (or I really don’t expect the current teams to survive if they keep this up).
Basketball Coach Billy Donovan locked his players out of [...]Popularity: 81% [?]
- Teaching Without.
Pretty amazing story about a teacher in the greater San Diego region who graduated High School, got an athletic scholarship to, and graduated from, college, became a teacher and taught High School for 17 years; all without being able to read, write or spell.

- The Fourth.
So the journalistic sub-genre of sports has been all a buzz this season about the San Diego Chargers Quarterback Philip Rivers. I am a proud supporter of “The Fourth” and of course am a huge Bolts fan, so it wouldn’t be shocking to learn that I sport the powder blue 17 on most Sunday’s. Granted [...]

- Playoffs?!?!
Yesterday marked my second adventure in San Diego Chargers playoff football. The first experience left me quite disheveled, and had they lost this time around I may have banned myself from attendance. Thankfully, Philip “The Fourth” Rivers lived up to his nickname (so what if Kyle and I failed at our many attempts to have [...]

- So This Is Christmas.
I am very late in wishing everyone a very happy “you and yours”. While we are here I might as well wish you a Happy New Year as well because I am bound to miss that one too.
I headed South to San Diego once again with a car full of luggage, presents and one Grandmother. [...]Popularity: 59% [?]
- California, and it being on fire.
So once again California is on fire.
Just on Saturday I was down in San Diego, remembering events from 4 years past (not the fires), and then suddenly Sunday events from 4 years past (the fires) were happening all over again.

- Mountains of Green and Burnt (Childhood Dreams)
This Sunday I drove down to San Diego to thank my Mother for doing the following things in my life; birthing me, stopping my sister from feeding me scrambled eggs when I was only a few days old, killing the rooster that tried to make me blind, turning off “The Wizard of Oz” (on audio [...]

- Draft Day 2007
Today was Draft Day in the NFL, and it started with a 9:00 AM PST Chick-fil-a run to finally partake in the delicious breakfast menu. After that it was All Draft, All Day.

- Neon Signs And 5 Lane Exits.
So after a week-ending, because it included part of the week, of roadtrips and concerts it puts quite a nice spin on the world. You never really know how resourceful you can be until it hits you in a parking lot, and yes jumper cables are so much more valuable to me. We all seem [...]
