Updates & A Fair To Remember

Yo, yo. What it is, Tappers. So, looks like I took the month of August off from the bloggy blog. Sorry ’bout that. Heck, let’s face it. You haven’t been reading anyway. You’ve been busy with summer, updating your own blogs and you know…doing your own thing. I get it. [...]

I Hate Tuesdays (well, most of it anyway)

It was one of those days that sort of punched me in the snotbox and only occasionally let me up for air. I’m talking about today. Tuesday. June 23rd. 2009. Yes. Tuesday. It’s the hottest day of the year today. I woke up this morning and knew it was going [...]
