2008,
I won’t understand you for awhile, even though I’d like to pretend to do so. You brought me change in a wheelbarrow. I’m so different. I’d like to brag about all the progress I’ve made, and everything I’ve accomplished, but I did that last year, and I’ll probably just look back on this moment and marvel at what happened in the intermediate time....

the soda shop in Oklahoma →
This took up about three hours of my day. In Arcadia, Oklahoma (middle of nowhere), there’s this incredible restaurant/gas stop that has hundreds of rare bottles of soda. I walked out with Mexican mango soda, Sopranos amaretto soda, coconut creme soda, pear soda, Mexican Coca-Cola, fair-trade sarsparilla, and this kind we used to drink in Taiwan that had a little marble in the bottle. It...

done.
I tried following it. I honestly did. It was just too intimidating having five pretty faces on every page of my dashboard…like every cute barista within a 700-mile radius was at my doorstep. With cookies.

Epic universal username change for 2009…like, everywhere. I’m changing up URL’s, IM screen names, and getting myself a twitter and last.fm that I will actually use. I think. Just a heads-up.

Write a post on your blog telling your readers SEVEN things about yourself they are not very likely to know (through the blog specifically or people in general might not know) about you!
Three years of my life were spent in an American school in the middle of Taiwan, and they changed just about everything.
I enjoy shopping, probably more than a man should, because...
Howie

Howie Mendell has a new candid camera show.
He waits on people in a restaurant and put his fingers in everything he brings to the table. At the end, of course, there is a big reveal where Howie takes off his wig.
Question though is what if you don’t know who Howie Mendell is? Then he’s just some jackass who’s been putting his fingers in your food all night and now taking off...
