Shout Outs

Shoutouts to Rocky who dug the face tattoo idea

Remember to use the drawer.

Repeat: do not get a face tattoo, just a drawer full of scraps of paper with tattoo ideas written on them

Shouts out to Max Level, standing at the edge of an inky black ocean holding a torch aloft

Fundraiser is done

“SFMOMA’s investment marks a historic milestone in the contemporary art world,” said Ginger Shulick Porcella, Executive Director at Creative Growth Art Center. “It has been far too long that art institutions have ignored or underrecognized artists with disabilities. These talented creators can no longer be relegated to the category of ‘outsider artists’ as they firmly occupy the walls of museums worldwide.”

Do you think the hiring manager had other well qualified candidates?

Keep your shoes on

Tucking in a t-shirt in doesn't make it look any more formal

If you are in my family, it makes you look like a pumpkin who thinks that a tucked in t-shirt is appropriate to wear to an event that it clearly is not

Otherwise, you wouldn't tuck it in your silly t-shirt.

Everybody needs directions

Even Jesus Christ was not perfect

I was the drummer from Def Leppard for Halloween

Tight reviews: one reviewer was 5'9" 230 lbs "pretty sure my junk was showing"

The tights fit, and I don't think my junk was showing

Exploration in Self-sufficiency

I took the kids to school by myself, picked them up, fed them, bath, and bedtime

So my wife could go to San Diego on a work trip

What we're cooking now: grilled skirt steak with new potatoes & the real chimichurri

I am not at all sure that will help him
