This is the first in a series of reviews I’ll be doing for all my obstacle runs. Having completed over a dozen in the past 3 years I know what is good, bad, and ugly about them. While I hope these reviews provide knowledge for others who may be curious but unsure of taking that […]
The internet can produce some extremely amusing content, and Youtube is the nexus of much of this content. Anyone with a cellphone, webcam, or video recorder and some basic editing skills can put up pretty much anything online to amuse others. From opinions to commentary to reviews, you could spend months on end finding stuff […]
While not nearly as awesome or innuendo-filled as Flight of the Conchords have expressed it, I owe a large amount of who I am to the female authority figures in my life. This isn’t to say my life would have been aimless or wasted without them, but I’ve had a rather successive streak of influential […]
