Acts of Random… err… Kindness?

By admin | Published: February 6, 2010
So there I was, shar­ing a won­der­ful din­ner with the recently "minted" Mrs. Back­ouris, her mum-in-law and Loni at the Fifty Forks restau­rant, at the Art Insti­tute of Orange County. I was shar­ing a story about some­thing ran­dom I began doing about a month ago. When I shared my story it had been brought to my atten­tion I hadn't said any­thing prior to my telling [...]

Reverend Vasquez Strikes Again.

By Alex | Published: October 31, 2009
I'm in a reflec­tive mood. I got up today and I felt great! I felt that way for a num­ber of rea­sons, you see. I'd just con­cluded the last big task on my plate for Octo­ber, Don and Lesley's Hal­lowed­ding. Let me just say, birth­days, bur­lesque and holy mat­ri­mony DO go together! The past two weeks have been a bit stress­ful for me with the addi­tion [...]

There I was. Huff­ing and puff­ing up a hill on a path that Mr. Smith had shown me the pre­vi­ous week. It was early, still. The sun hadn't yet peaked over the hori­zon yet. It was quiet and kind of dark, still. No mat­ter, I pushed along, though, my freak­ing shins were on fire. I think I may need to look [...]

Import Myspace Blog into WordPress.

By Alex | Published: October 14, 2009
I am almost ashamed to con­fess I still have a myspace account. It's some­thing that I've grown out of, much like Friend­ster back in the day. Pretty much any­one I care to keep in con­tact has a face­book account any­way and face­book is a bet­ter net­work­ing tool than myspace, I feel. I've held off on delet­ing my account because of the [...]
