The Only Thing I Ever Wanted
When I look back on my life, I never really cared about fame or money. All I really wanted was to be loved. Loved by someone with a lot of fame and money. And if I became famous and rich as a result of being loved by that someone, I guess I would accept those […]
Dear Game of Thrones, Season 3: Please Don’t Suck
March 29, 2013
Dear Game of Thrones, Season 3, Please don’t suck. I’ve been let down by television before, and I don’t think I could bear getting hurt again. Lately, I’ve felt television has been taking advantage of our relationship, violating our agreement that it would provide me with mindless escapism in exchange for me ignoring my family […]
My Plot to Meet Zooey Deschanel or Zoey Deschanel
March 16, 2012
As part of my ongoing campaign to meet Zooey Deschanel and trick her into falling in love with me, I’ve been trying to acquire the domain name zoeydeschanel.com. Here’s my strategy: 1.

And That’s a Wrap
December 31, 2011
It’s been a great year and I’m going to hate to see it go.

Now kids today demand fancy fluctuation stairs […]
Why Doesn’t Everyone Like Me as Much as LinkedIn?
November 8, 2011
Dear LinkedIn, How have I suddenly become so popular, so connected, so linked in? Every day I get another email inviting me to join someone’s network on LinkedIn. All of a sudden I’m Mr. Popular even though I can’t remember the last time anyone ever invited me to a party without first asking if my wife […]
Friday Love Letters: Dear Zooey Deschanel, Part Two
November 4, 2011
Dear Zooey, On Wednesday, I should have guessed something was amiss when my wife asked me not to use the Internet all day for my own safety because she warned the Internet might be haunted. When I finally did try and use the Internet, I found the router had been doused in water. The entire […]
Friday Love Letters: Dear Zooey Deschanel
August 19, 2011
In the next week I’ll particpate in drafts for both of my fantasy football leagues. Last year I consistently struggled to find consistent running back production, so I’ll still probably use my first two picks on RBs, although I don’t see a lot of depth at the position, and I wonder how the prolonged holdout of […]
