Wandering the Minneapolis Skyway

      No Comments on Wandering the Minneapolis Skyway

You know why I love the Skyway?  Because it’s indoors.  I can explore blocks and blocks in the city of Minneapolis and never have to be subjected to dirt, bugs, wind, rain or ne’er-do-wells passing a joint around on a corner.  Yes, I saw that today as I was driving home. Regardless, the Skyway reminds me of the casinos in… Read more »

Partying, Twitter style

      No Comments on Partying, Twitter style

Why would you party on Twitter?  Because you can win stuff. It’s obviously BYOB since you are going to be sitting in your home/office/or wherever you log on to the internet. It usually only lasts an hour. It usually is sponsored by a brand and centered on various topics like beauty, travel, wine…right up my alley. Anyway, last month I… Read more »

Video games: Mario weeps for you.

I’m worried about the next generation of kids.  I read this article yesterday on Play4Real and it basically says they can’t finish the first level of the original Super Mario Bros. That’s world 1-1…they can’t get to the flag at the end.  My junior high school self scoffs at them. Seriously, what is wrong with these people?  The game couldn’t… Read more »

Equality for all: Single does not equal broken

In light of the recent developments in marriage equality, I’d like to address the concerns of single people. There’s nothing wrong with you. There’s nothing wrong with being single. I’m sick and tired of society pressuring everyone to couple up as quickly as possible and if they don’t (or can’t) then they are obviously broken. I’ve seen the most fucked… Read more »

Crowd, fund this!

      No Comments on Crowd, fund this!

Maybe I’m just a fuddy-duddy, but I don’t “get” the whole “crowd funding” thing. OK, I can understand if you are a starving artist and you are trying to create your art.  I’ll give you money because then I’ll feel like a rich patron of yore. And I love various forms of art, musical, visual and written. But sometimes I… Read more »

Take me out…to the ballgame

      No Comments on Take me out…to the ballgame

A week and a half ago, I went to my first Twins Game.  I love baseball.  Going to a game is also a pretty great date.  Why?  It’s a great combination of factors. It has sports which most men (and some women like me) enjoy. It’s usually outside, so you get fresh air and sunshine (unless it rains or you… Read more »

Want something “free” for your birthday?

I’m not a huge coupon-er.  I want to be, but I’m just not that organized.  A few years ago, however, a friend of mine mentioned how he was getting freebies on his birthday.  Since his birthday is two days before mine, I got excited and did a little research.  Thank you, Google. I found a few sites that link to… Read more »
