The Reverse Jigsaw

I consider myself an excellent puzzle solver. I rock the @wheeloffortune Twitter toss-ups (need to get back to playing those), whiz my way through crosswords (erase your dirty thoughts) and even complete the occasional (read: rare) jigsaw.We're trained from a young age to be able to solve puzzles, but who is supposed to teach us how to take them apart?In the philosophical waxing that my friends have become accustomed to, it seems stupid that we are taught to take risks, and that it's ok to make mistakes, but we are never really taught to fix them.So instead of a world filled with accurately solved puzzles, we live in a world literally littered...

FrAILty

So, in 2 days I'll be a cripple. Ok, not quite. But after surgery (can't wait tosee how many people cuss me out for not mentioning this earlier...) I'll bebanned from physical activity for six weeks.So to all of you bastards who enjoy poking fun at my physique, enjoy the flab.And for those who encourage me, please contribute to my slim-fast fund.There is a revelation here though beyond the usual, "why is my body betrayingme, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, WTF!" line of thought.I never realized how serious/important fitness was/is to me. Now having itripped from me, honestly feels like a kick to the groin. Seriously, this is likea top 5, maybe...

Wile E. Coyote vs. James Franco

Many of you hold The Oscars up on a pedestal. This is fitting considering the award technically does stand on a pedestal.So when an inebriated, incapacitated James Franco decided to unceremoniously defecate on your annual ceremony of popular people, some of you took it hard.Yet some people still defended James because while his performance on the Oscar broadcast wasn't top notch, his performance in 127 hours was moving and awe-inspiring.Well, I'd like to refute that point with Exhibit A. I present Wile. E. Coyote in 127 Hours. Enj...

Attention Nittany Lions: SILENCE!

I have never been a loudmouth. I let results speak for themselves. Again PSU fans, our men's basketball team is doing the unthinkable. A dose of reality will remind you that beating Ohio State now will be much easier, than plowing through a 68 team field. In the 1% chance that we can raise some hell please don't jinx us by taunting those heathen buckeyes. Save calling them the red headed step children of the big ten until after the game. Just because they go to an inferior school is not a reason to belittle them prior to the fall. Their tears will only taste sweet after they drink the Gatorade.Fear the lion. That is a...

Mobile blogging, huh?

Was watching Kitchen Nightmares. Forgot to GotGlue it. Damn. A food critic mobile blogged from the restaurant. She probably forgot to check in on FourSquare. Yelp! Realized I should do more "on the road" (not talking to you Jack Kerouac). Oh, btw Notre Dame just lost to the flying Pitinos. Sprecious. And yes, this is me testing mobile blogging from my iPhone. Please, no comments as to the inferiority of it being a 3...
