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...Read More

I’m throwing you a curve ball today.  This isn’t about something or someone that ticked me off, but something I just plain love.  That thing is graffiti.  I’m not talking about the sophisticated “art form” that graffiti can be, I’m talking about some dude with a Sharpie in a bar bathroom writing something on the wall that he thinks is funny, or witty, or philosophical, or just hateful. Below, we have what I hope is a reference to the classic 90’s comedy “Dumb and Dumber.”  The fact that this is the only thing written in the bathroom combined with the sheer size made it hilarious and impressive.  It also makes me think it was relatively fresh and the gas station hadn’t had time to paint over it yet.  Regardless, I had to snap a picture of it. My second favorite form of graffiti is the sticker.  I love bathrooms at music venues that are plastered with band stickers on every wall.  I don’t think this little gem...Read More

I would guess that public restrooms are a place of never ending awkwardness because it’s the only place on earth where you partake in your most personal and private events in such close proximity to other people who are also partaking in their own personal and private events.  Everyone has their own habits and intricacies, but I would have to say there are a few universal unspoken rules regarding public restrooms.  The most important of which is no talking.  Seriously, don’t talk.  I’m busy, you’re busy, and we should both be focusing on the tasks at hand.  During the Braves game yesterday I ran into the most heinous of bathroom offenders, cell phone guy.  Let’s call him Jake.  I don’t care how important this phone call is, Jake, but you need to hang up.  It’s just awkward.  Every bathroom has that same echoey, empty, “why did it just get suddenly quiet where you are?” sound to it.  You’re not fooling anyone on the...Read More
