I was able to mark something off of my Bucket List today!  Although, I would like to take this hobby a bit farther, I was able to complete my very first model of a space shuttle!
When I was a kid, my brother and the little boys in my neighborhood always got to build cool model cars/trucks/boats/airplanes.  They started with plastic snap together models, moved up to glue models, then they could paint the models, etc.  I was always very jealous. It wasn’t a very girly thing to do.  I like …

Lately I have been feeling like a slave to my computer so I decided I needed something (that you do not have to plug into a wall) in order to fill my free time.  In my most recent trips to Target I had found myself circling the puzzle aisle like a hawk.  Something inside of me was telling me to start a puzzle but for some reason I fought the temptation for many months.  It’s only a puzzle but in my mind it’s a statement of who I am as …

It’s that time again.  If you read back in my posts, you can see that I have attempted to quit before.  During the week that I quit, my grandfather passed away and my cat almost died ($1000 later he was okay).  So as you can imagine, i’m walking into this with some fear.  The second I hear someone in my family isn’t feeling well or my cat starts making funny noises i’m out.  Maybe there is some sort of ancient spell cast on me, so that I must smoke in …

I heard a “joke” once. A man goes to a hotel and gets a room. The hotel employee warns him that the only room left has a guy staying next door that is a bit high-strung so he should be weary not to startle him or make any loud sudden noises. The man says that is fine, as he only needs the room for a few hours to rest. Once in the hotel room, the man quietly starts to undress being careful not to make …

(One of the Orlando news stations has a giant advertisement on their website for OUC. OUC is our energy company here in Orlando. They have raised the prices of their energy (in the middle of a recession) 15% this year. We have zero choice but to use OUC for our energy.)
So. I cannot even write words to express my frustration, but I tried. I tried to at least send them an email and let them know that I was angry. Why? I know it will …

I have been wanting to write a blog about Bacon for a long time but have been entirely too nervous to do so (there are some crazy m’fers that love bacon). So instead, i’ve decided to come up with a list of my favorite/worst FADS throughout my life and incorporate my Bacon rant into it. I touch in the 2000s (18-27 years old), 1990’s (8-17 years old), 1980’s (born – 8 years old). Enjoyski’s.

MY FAVORITES FROM THE 2000’s

Bacon – I’m just gonna get right into it. I know you …

So i’m a rapper. Don’t believe me? Just check this shiz out. Ive been waiting for the perfect opportunity to start a “Within 140 character Twitter Rap Battle” for some time now, and today looked like the perfect day. 3 Rounds. No Mercy. I took everyone down…one by one.

Round One: Jamie vs. Tail

Tail: nobody told me it was 140. I could have come up with that. You 2 and your nerdy rules

Jamie: who u callin nerdy, ur st cloud tire lovin dirty, …

Oi the humiliation when a Mother or Father/Sister or Brother/distant Aunt or Uncle/Dog or Cat manages to finally join the facebook/myspace/twitter bandwagon! I thought I was alone in this, at least as an adult. It makes sense for a kid to be nervous about this sort of violation of privacy, but for some reason it used to make me SO nervous I wanted to shut off my computers forever and pretend Al Gore never created the Interwebs.

I remember the first day my mother arrived on Myspace. …

mmmmm…..beeeer
If you live in Orlando, then you probably know about Total Wine and Spirits (@total_wine). It’s the MECCA of liquor/wine stores. It is bigger than the size of walgreens and has every single alcoholic beverage known to man.

They also have an insane collection of beer. An entire aisle is devoted to single bottled beer from everywhere across the globe. You can create your own six pack and the prices are pretty good per beer ($1.00 – $2.50).

So I decided to grab a few randomly for myself …
