May 18, 2010 - 2 Comments
Categories: Just Funny, Motivation & Success

karate as part of a motivational speech

Don’t you hate it when you spend time bitching about something and then you go on and make the exact same mistake yourself? That sucks! And that happened to me just a few days ago. Not that long ago I wrote a blog post about stupid people going through the “expert traveler” security line. You […]

Flambé Fail (Video and Lessons)

March 4, 2010 - 6 Comments
Categories: Just Funny, Motivation & Success, Video

Flambe! (Ok, my flambe looked nothing like this. Or maybe it did, in my own head)

Valentine’s Day Humor: 5 MORE Things That Suck About Being Single

February 11, 2010 - 5 Comments
Categories: Just Funny, Lists

36607020

Valentine’s Day is approaching and that means that it’s society’s chance to make people feel really bad about being single. It’s bad enough that single people who don’t necessarily want to be single (like *cough* myself) are single, but now we get a whole day (and preceding month or so of advertising) to have our […]
