about me
Just another college-educated guy who has found his home in the service industry. I like my job, my cat, and my books, but you will often find me at the bar avoiding all three.
Arno's going-away party, BBQ, and garage sale SpecMegaTacular!

I've been visiting my mother and stepfather in rural northern Indiana these past few days. This is the Indiana most people visualize when I say I'm from the Hoosier State: Flat expanses of corn and soybean fields punctuated by churches and barns. ...

Preparing to leave the house for a costumes-required party, I'm reflecting on the grim neccesity of getting dolled up as something else for a holiday and feeling like I'm being forced into taking a keg stand. Like the fact that I have to gets to m...

hey look, I'm famous

actually, they do not so much as mention my name. But there is a picture of me in the paper, one which happened to be printed on the same day my dad (ever-suspicious of the wisdom of being a barista at age 31) was visiting town. In a weird moment ...

I've been visiting my mother and stepfather in rural northern Indiana these past few days. This is the Indiana most people visualize when I say I'm from the Hoosier State: Flat expanses of corn and soybean fields punctuated by churches and barns.

But there is a picture of me in the paper, one which happened to be printed on the same day my dad (ever-suspicious of the wisdom of being a barista at age 31) was visiting town.
