Lists: 3 Things I Didn’t Know About Islam Until Now
1. People like to tell me things they don’t think I know about Islam 2. Those same people get really mad at me when I still believe in religious tolerance 3. I watch too much YouTube. Not really related to Islam, so maybe the title should just be called “2 Things…” Oh well, too tired [...]
Working on the weekend
Just taking a moment from working on the weekend to remind myself why I work:
Improv Everywhere: Star Wars Subway
Why doesn’t this ever happen on my train!
Fashion for the Fat Guy
Summer is my favorite season but, as I’ve gotten older and more out of shape, I’m discovering that I’m having a harder time actually getting dressed for the summer.
