  • Uh…. Ouch!

    This past weekend has been a very busy one.  The basement is getting finished, and in the process, I have realized how our builder screwed things up.  I knew going with a big builder like Khov was going to get a nice, new house built.  I just didn’t realize all of the mistakes that went…

  • I Don’t Get It

    I saw on MSN.com that the GoDaddy Super Bowl add was yanked after animal rights groups complained.  Curious, I clicked to watch the add.  I expected animal abuse or something controversial.  GoDaddy Super Bowl ads are known to be more skin baring than animal cruelty, so I was shocked when none of that happened.  What…

  • An Education

    There needs to be an accredited school (college) out there where someone can get their degree without all of the bullshit.  In my career, I am not going to need calculus.  I do not need to be able to write research papers.  I most certainly will not need to know the history of religion.  Why…

  • A Limerick

    We were foolin around and rollin in the grass When you began to give me lip and sass. And with my flume, You heard a sonic boom. That was my balls smackin your ass. ©2015 The Event Books

  • Always Learning

    I have contemplated over the last few years of finishing the basement myself.  Where I live, very few permits are required.  I have built barns and lean-tos.  I have done most of the electrical work in the garage and barn.  One thing I have learned is… there is more to learn.  I should not have…

  • Modern Features

    I do not know whether to hate or love modern features.  Sure, the Internet is turning people into soulless zombies that just stair at screens all day.  Some people waste their lives playing online games or searching for someone.  Some people are smarter than I am and make millions of dollars from the Internet and…

  • So Obvious People Do Not Get It

    I try to look at things from other people’s perspective.  That way, I (hopefully) know where they are coming from and can better communicate with them.  Some people are just plain idiots.  I love the Dilbert (http://www.dilbert.com) comic strip.  Before I worked in the corporate environment, I never got the humor.  Now, it is so…

  • Riding the Bandwagon

    The big college football game was this past Monday: The National Championship.  The Ohio State Buckeyes “at” the Oregon Ducks in Texas.  Now, all of the hype leading up to the game is the standard caliber hype.  What is important is the message.  Almost every article I read said Ohio State was better in a…

  • Arm Chair Quarterbacks

    I hate when people get mad at a quarterback or coach for doing what they do.  Those jobs are not easy.  There is a lot of pressure and stress.  Study after study shows decision making typically suffers during stressful situations.  What seems like an obvious call from our chairs probably looks very differently on the…

  • Mistakes

    We all make mistakes.  It might be hard to believe, but I am not perfect.  I know.  Let me give you a moment to get over that shock.  Editing The Amanai Deception is progressing, and it is showing me just how many mistakes I can make.  Most of them are stupid typos that autocorrect changed…
