Shotguns

POSTED BY Joel on Dec 31 under Entertainment

On Wednesday, the day after the birth of your Lord, I went and blew away some clay pigeons with a shotgun. Trent invited me to join him and his father down in Orting. His dad, Jay, and his dad’s buddy, Bryan, taught me how to use a shotgun. It’s pretty simple, you [...]

I just finished reading “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. Her philosophy, Objectivism, embodies most of what I believe: individualism, reason, free market capitalism, and allowing people to build for their own success. “Atlas Shrugged” builds on Ayn Rand’s previous book, “The Fountainhead” and greatly expands her philosophy. The actual writing and plot [...]

I just spotted the headline on ESPN.com and read the article on three University of North Carolina college football players who were sexually attacked.

Almost There…

POSTED BY Joel on Dec 19 under Celebration

Two more work days and then I have nine straight days of vacation! I may even have eleven if my boss lets me take New Years Eve day off as well. I haven’t had this much vacation in a year and a half- I think the most I’ve taken off was four or [...]
