’98 Chevy C1500

So this week I had the opportunity to go to a police impound auto auction; my first auction. I didn’t know what to expect. I went to see if I could get a good deal on a nice beater work truck.
I registered, was handed a list of the vehicles up for auction, and a number (#23). Many of the vehicles were wrecks, junkers, and a few were not so bad. Then…. (continue reading…)
1 Coke = 15 Pounds
by colins on Jan.05, 2009, under Health
I don’t know if any of you are at all like me, but I like to have a soda every day. My soda of choice? Coke. If that’s not available, Pepsi. I have at least 1 per day and as a matter of fact, more often than not, I have way more than that. The other day I started to think, how much fat does this pack on my frame. It’s scary what I found out.
How to Ace it Every Time in 4 Simple Steps

I picked up golf when I was 11. In the back corner of the garage sat a dusty old set of Wilson clubs that were at one point my Grandpa’s, but were now my fathers. My dad didn’t golf though, so they just sat in a corner of the garage gathering dust. One day my friend Scott and I grabbed those clubs and we walked down the street to the park and started hitting balls, or at least trying to anyway, towards the sandbox on the other side. As the years went by I got better. I thought I was pretty good, shooting rounds in the mid 90′s. Then when I was in my mid-teens I had a breakthrough and I didn’t know how I did it. I had the perfect round of golf. I didn’t know how I did it that day, but I have since come to learn how I was able to accomplish such a feat. (continue reading…)
Palin Believes the Leader of Al Queda

Okay, so this is not really a political website, but it is my website.
I’m watching the Vice Presidential Debates right now and they are discussing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Senator Biden just said that any attack from Al Queda will be coming from Afghanistan, and not Iraq. That’s where we need to focus.
Palin, responded by stating that General Patrais and Al Queda leaders stated the war on terror is in Iraq and finished her statement by saying, “I believe the leaders of Al Queda.”
My jaw dropped. I’m sorry, I don’t know about you but I will never trust what the leaders of Al Queda say. She does. Of course Al Queda says that Iraq is where the war on terror is. They want to keep us distracted in Iraq while their heart beats stronger every day in Afghanistan.
One heartbeat away has just become a lot scarier.

Randy Pausch was a Computer Science Professor at Carnegie Mellon when he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. He was given 3 to 6 months to live. About a month into it he gave his “Last Lecture” and the subject of his lecture (continue reading…)

So for the last few weeks I have been reading all the posts on digg.com about the “War on Scientology” by the group known as Anonymous. While I’m not on the side of Scientology, I’m also not on Anonymous’ side.
