sorry, my roots are showing

By me • Jun 21st, 2008 • Category: Detroit, Michigan, nablopomo, today's blog 365 post

West Michigan is a very Dutch area. Between the city of Holland and Calvin College the area is just saturated with a bunch of blonde-haired, blue-eyed, CRC individuals. And most of them are very proud of their Dutch heritage, embracing every stereotypical aspect of it - participating in the street scrubbing at the Tulip Time [...]



joining the masses

By me • Jun 15th, 2008 • Category: cats, today's blog 365 post

I’ve tried to stay away from posting lolcats. It’s not that they aren’t funny, they are, and yes, I read them, but I’ve seen the same ones on blogs over and over. And while entertaining, they’re usually filler posts. There’s nothing wrong with that, we all need them every once in a while. But if [...]



thanks, but I’ll pass

I’m not exactly what you would call the “outdoorsy” type. Yes, I like gardening, but mostly because I have an end goal in sight. I want a place to sit out on a deck, drink a cocktail, and have a conversation with my friends as the sun sets with the slight fragrance of roses from [...]

It’s always unnerving when your doctor is much more concerned about your symptoms than you were.
Lately I’ve been having a lot of vague abdominal pain - it comes and goes, along with some heartburn, so I’ve been taking some antacids and really hadn’t thought too much about it. But I was in GR last weekend [...]



staying local

By me • Jun 7th, 2008 • Category: Detroit, today's blog 365 post

I grew up in Grand Rapids, one of the most suburban areas I’ve ever known. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way. There’s something very safe, quaint, and friendly about the suburbs. Given all the other situations I could have been brought up in I consider it to be good place for a kid [...]



like ripping off a bandage

By me • Jun 3rd, 2008 • Category: today's blog 365 post

Yeah, so as of today I am officially “in my 30’s.” Although a certain website decided to jump the gun and make me older quicker than I had anticipated.

Look guys, according to my clock I still had 6 minutes left of my 30th year. I was up, working on a paper, and decided to goof [...]



funny, but true

Somehow we’re still managing to get around even though it’s $4.29/gal in downtown Detroit. Although with the new job I’m only going through 1/4 a tank a week, max. How much does filling up your gas tank hurt???
