Tumblr Meetup Wrap Up
Well, my first Dallas Tumblr meetup was a success! 11 people total showed up, which was pretty good because the only organization we had was me emailing everyone that I would be wearing a Notre Dame hat. After 6pm, people started trickling in and we got a table and several fantastic beers. Here are some memories that sum it up:

By now, everyone and their dog has heard about the upcoming ad from Focus on the Family that will be airing during the Super Bowl. The ad shows a woman who was doing missionary work in the Phillipines in the 1980’s. After getting sick, she ignored her doctor’s urge to abort her child (ignore the fact that all abortions have been outlawed in the Phillipines since 1930 with a 6 year...

How I Know my College is in a Bubble
This is a police bulletin from today:
“Emergency vehicles were on the SMU campus at noon today after two students became ill while watching a medical video in a psychology class in Hyer Hall. The building was evacuated as a precaution. The students received medical attention at the scene and were released. Hyer Hall was reopened and resumed normal operations about 12:15 p.m.”

I just had a great idea for a movie
mattgorman:
It’s about a man whose literary puns predict who will die. It’ll be like Final Destination meets that one movie with Nicolas Cage meets Carrot Top.
It’ll be semi-autobiographical.
That hot actress with the amazing voice will be killed by her clumsiness. What’s her name? Zooey Dashedandfell?

Realization
Aside from my hippie tendencies and taste in music, I appear to have completely sold out. I’m ok with that, but here are recent pictures of some of my best friends from high school. I may get strange looks at local shows, but at least I don’t get harassed by cops.

SMU Off Season Football News
Apparently the end of the college football season means that none of my friends talk SMU football anymore. Well, the team we all thought was going to be relatively unchanged next year is going through some HUGE changes.
For starters, Emmanuel Sanders, the number one wide receiver in SMU history, is going pro. We all knew that this would happen because last season. was his last year of...

Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery →
A High School decided to prank a teacher at their school during a pep rally by setting up the infamous $500,000 half court shot from the Prank War. However, instead of $500,000, the teacher would get Final Four tickets.
Well, talk about the ultimate backfire. The teacher hit the half court shot while blindfolded. You can almost hear the people who set this up shit their pants. Someone buy him...

Reason #1,476 Why I Love My Company
Like I’ve said before, I not only love my job, but love my company. I work in one of a few non-profit departments, but the overall company is very for profit (Last year they reported almost a quarter billion in profits).
My Medical Director is a very likable guy and is very driven in what he does. In the last two decades, he’s founded almost a dozen different groups and companies...

My Federal Tax Refund
This year, I am getting the largest refund from my federal taxes in my life. Not only did I have a fairly successful year at work, but I also paid off a shit load of interest on my gigantic student loans, bought a car, and made several charitable contributions.
I’ve been wrestling with what I want to spend the return on to treat myself. I was originally going to buy two seats in the...

Day 2 of My Cubicle
My grandfather was partially deaf because of the guns on the ships he was stationed on in the Pacific Theatre of World War II. Sometimes, he didn’t know that he was talking a little too loudly. However, he would figure it out after a couple minutes, and adjust the volume of his voice accordingly. He gets a break. The girl in front of my cubicle does not.
She has been on personal calls...

I guess it may not have necessarily been from your church, but you mentioned that several of them went overseas. Just curious. Enjoy cubicleland.

I don’t want to be a dick here, but isn’t this a violation of the probation he received last year for lying to Congress about receiving steroids? Probably worth it though. Helping people suffering from tragedy is infinitely better than playing in the NL.
Day 1 of My Cubicle
Woman on other side: Lee?
Me: Yeah?
Woman: Oh, you were being so quiet. How do you like your cubicle?
Me: Exactly how I thought living in half a box would feel like.
Woman: Ohhh... well, talk to ya later!
Me: *wishes he was on Pandora*

jheath:
This is of course after he attacked and struck an opposing pitcher and catcher in the head with a FUCKING BASEBALL BAT back in 2007. The pitcher suffered career ending injuries in the incident.
Seriously, this guy needs to be in jail, or at the very least, never be allowed to play professional baseball in any capacity whatsoever for the rest of his life. This is ridiculous.

My mom has put up photos of me and I feel like a narcissist.
Welcome to my life ever since I moved back home. There’s a fucking collage of childhood pictures above my bed.
Less than a month after I left, my childhood bedroom became “the scrapbooking room”.
