Hiatus Entry #1

Phil | June 28, 2006

My summer hiatus is in full swing, and so as no doubt you can imagine, I’m having a great time. The entry you’re about to read was actually inspired by time spent at the airport about a week ago. I just didn’t have a chance (until now) to write it as a blog entry. I [...]

On the road of life, do not expect to find [...]

Ma Belle Cell

Phil | June 17, 2006

Okay, so it’s been a few days and I didn’t post my cell phone entry right away. This had nothing to do with karma, but just that it’s been a busy week and I didn’t get around to it until now. So, let the cell phone story commence.
It’s Tuesday afternoon. I’m running errands. I’m driving [...]

Seis Cosas de Phil

Phil | June 14, 2006

I had an excellent idea for a post today, involving yet another cell phone incident. But I decided blogging about cell phones two days in a row would be bad karma, and also I was tagged by none other than Marshgarsha! And so I now have blog material for today and tomorrow. So here goes.
Name [...]

Yakkity Yak

Phil | June 13, 2006

Every once in a while, I am blessed to bear witness to the new and wildly unusual. Perhaps this is due to life’s tendency to go on auto-pilot. Days come and go, but nothing really seems to stand out in any way. So without ever actually being aware of it, life gets boring and monotonous.
Oh [...]

Summer Rules

Phil | June 12, 2006

One of the greatest things about summer is that, no matter how much responsibility might actually exist in your life, none of it seems to be all that pressing. What I mean is that summer has this fascinating quality that seems to bring out the joys in life.
As an adult, I can say that most [...]

Spice Rack

Phil | June 9, 2006

The following is a creative writing piece, compliments go to Rod for the great idea. This week’s topic is “Spice Rack,” and what you read below is my own creative writing piece inspired by the topic. I opted for some freestyle fiction today, so I hope you enjoy.
Maria paced the kitchen floor, lost in thought. [...]

A Few Thoughts on the FMA

Phil | June 7, 2006

Today I awoke to find this piece of good news. This past week has been full of news and blogs related to the Federal Marriage Amendment, better known as the “constitutional ban of gay marriage.” I posted a message to my Yahoo! Group that was my own personal take on the matter. After emailing it [...]

Phil Picasso

Phil | June 6, 2006

Dorid has a fun Mr. Picasso Head challenge up. The piece you see above was the result of hours of arduous labor in my special lab. Of course, I couldn’t resist also writing in my two cents on the subject. Just remember that when you laugh, try not to do so while holding your paint [...]

Warning: I’ve Gone Commercial

Phil | June 5, 2006

Though I am the first to admit that I’m not in the least bit conceited, thanks to Mame, I came across an amazing website. Indeed, it’s the Advertising Slogan Generator! After seeing some of the slogans this astounding generator created, I decided to do a post about various ways to sell myself. And since I’m [...]
