But I just realized that the reason I haven't gotten Pineapple Express from the top of my queue for, like, two months is that the stoners have forgotten to return their copies....

Now Lauren and I have been together for almost eight years (Lauren edit: uh hello SEVEN!!), so we have had lots of time to "talk about the future." That being said, the last three emails that she has sent me for my entertainment are like something out of a bad Modern Love column (Lauren edit: redund...

With the passing of another consumer holiday, we can reflect on who won the day. Much like in years past, we agreed not to buy each other anything to stick it to Hallmark. Like all good boyfriends, I knew that agreement was bullshit that was going to turn on me like a razor in a candy bar. Lauren bo...

One week ago today, our first African-American President of the United States was sworn in on a 156-year old Bible as millions of people across the world watched in joy and awe. Unlike almost every President since Grover Cleveland, Abraham Lincoln was not sworn in on his family Bible. Lincoln's lugg...

I had my first memorable sauna experience when I was thirteen. Visiting a family friend in Lapland, above the Arctic Circle, we were staying in a small village of the seasonally nomadic Lapps.

My gym has apple scented body wash in the showers and mouthwash by the sinks. I am unsure of what to think about this. On the definite positive side, there is a sauna. I fully intend to sweat the hell out of this winter. With a minty fresh mouth....

The new roommates (two ladies) have done more to "green" my lifestyle than my old roommates (three dudes), but I can only support the use of so many Seventh Generation brand products before I have to enough is enough. Dishsoap? Sure it doesn't lather very well, but it seems to clean just fine. Trash...

Sometimes, when I watch my 1.5 and 3 year old cousins hop out of the bath and chase each other, bare ass naked, in circles for twenty minutes until they pass out in bed, I think to myself, man, there are going to be some unfortunate toasts at my (eventual) wedding....
