Sometimes, you go to a Greek diner and order the Deli Duo, a delicious looking open-faced sandwich covered in cheese (as it is pictured and described on the menu).
Sometimes you end up getting two entire sandwiches comprised of bread, and meat, and nothing else.
Sometimes the only explanation the waitress gives you is that “The pictures in the menu can be misleading.”
And, sometimes the list of restaurants where I will no longer eat gets just a little bit...

It’s not just champagne wishes and caviar dreams for the folks at “Here’s to you Sir.” Sometimes, we like to get down and dirty with our southern roots for some good ol’ NASCAR racing. For me, the event that is race-day is the only truly appealing part of racing. I don’t watch it on TV. I don’t follow any one driver or team. I don’t know who’s popular, or unpopular, or winning the points race. The drivers I cheered for this year were the two Red Bull Racing team members (Scott Speed and Reed Sorenson), solely because I bought a cool Red Bull Racing hat that afternoon. It seemed only appropriate. But, there are three things NASCAR has going for it:
1. Those cars go really really freaking fast. Seriously. You have no idea how fast they drive, how close together they are, and how kinda awesome it is to see in person.
2. You can bring your own beer. I’ll retype that for emphasis. YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN...

Some of you probably already know this, but I have a girlfriend. I’ll give you a minute to let the shock of that sink in. Good? Okay, moving on…. Not long after we started dating, I was spending the afternoon with her and her roommate in celebration of her roommate’s birthday. It was a Saturday. I played volleyball that morning, met up with them to watch some World Cup soccer that afternoon, went back to their apartment to watch a movie, we ate some dinner, then met up with a large group of our friends later that evening. It was a fun day. All in all, I was probably away from my house for a total of about 16 hours.
After dinner, and before we went out to meet our friends, we were all getting ready. I brought a change of clothes, knowing I would be sweaty and gross from having played volleyball that morning. The ladies retired to their respective bedrooms to get ready and I went into the bathroom, the one and only bathroom in the condo. While I...

I went to see the movie Inception last night (which is pretty amazing) and was reminded of an incredibly awkward movie theater experience that happened to me a few years ago. It was during my second round of unemployment in January of 2008. I had plenty of free time on my hands and wanted to go see a movie. What better time to do that than a Tuesday afternoon? I made my way to the theater at Atlantic Station in Midtown. As I’m walking down the long hallway a young gentleman was walking toward me and as I turned to my specific theater door, he also turned that way, opened the door for me, and we both entered.
I forget which movie I saw but it must have been a fairly popular new release because it was in the largest room they have, probably seating between 200-300 moviegoers. On this day, however, there was 1 other person, a lady that I could barely see sitting in the middle of the very back row, just beneath the projector window. As per usual, I walked half way up...

Some of you have already heard me tell this story, but last Wednesday was one of the strangest days I’ve had in a long time. I hesitated to make this a blog post, but the entire day itself was so weird it had to be documented as proof positive I have some of the strangest encounters with people.
It started on my commute to work (of job #1, as I currently have 2 jobs). As I’m driving through the normally very empty downtown Roswell I see what, from a distance, looks like someone pushing a very large baby stroller down the sidewalk. Nothing to be concerned with here. Until I get closer and realize that it’s not a baby stroller, it’s a rolling hospital bed. And there’s not a baby in it, but a very old woman. In fact, this woman is so old, that I’m pretty sure she’s dead. I’m not joking or using this term as hyperbole, the woman had her eyes closed, was slightly curled into a fetal-type position, had a bluish-gray color to...
