Caught this guy in action the other night. Such sweet dance moves and, yet, no one joined in. I don’t get it.

Texting with Strangers
The other night I went out with some friends. While at the Golden Nugget, we saw a girl wandering around looking lost. I stopped her and asked if she was alright. She told us her phone was dead and she needed to use one. She looked pretty upset/distraught. She, apparently, had just gotten out of jail and needed to call her boyfriend to come pick her up. She seemed like a nice enough girl, so I let...

Fart From The Truth
Me: Umm...I had something to say and instead of coming out of my mouth the words went the other way. And now I have to fart.
Matt: Haha!
**A short time later**
Matt: Ah! I had something to say and I can't remember what it was now. It was going to be funny too.
Me: Do you have to fart now?
Matt: I already did. I actually farted right before you said you had to fart. That's kind of weird, actually.
Me: I know your body, dude.

Chicken Shot
Matt: D! Whatcha doin', man?
Me: Oh, not much. Sitting on the couch, playing around on the internet, drinking a pot pie from a shot glass...you know, the usual.
Matt: What?!
Me: Ok, so maybe one of those isn't true.
Matt: You're not really playing on the internet, are you?
Me: Dammit! You caught me.
Matt: I know how you love those pot pies, D. Especially from a shot glass. It's such a manageable size.
Me: Yeah. If you get anything bigger then you end up with chunks of chicken in your esophagus and no one likes that.
Matt: No one likes chicken in their esophagus.

What should I call it? Preview Review? Trailer Trash Talk? Pre-Roll? I need votes and/or other suggestions.

I'm a terrible person.
Sunday night I was leaving work, excited for my two days off, when I had that epiphany. I got into my car and pulled out of the parking garage. I turned right and started down the back road that lead to the freeway. This back road is in a bit of a slum, full of old motels-turned-into-apartments and sketchy-looking residence always eyeing you as you drive by. Normally I drive right on through...

I want to start a podcast with my old roommate,...
I know everyone has thought of doing a podcast at some point—and I’ve never been one to jump on bandwagons—but I think I’d be good at it. And Matt is the perfect Ying to my Yang. In case you don’t know who Matt is, he is one of my best friends and former roommate. We met in Branson, Missouri and moved to Las Vegas together about two years ago. Since then, he has...

My eyes burn and I can’t tell if it’s because I’m really tired and haven’t had enough sleep this week or because I stared at the eclipse for about 20 minutes.

Woops!
I accidentally left the bar with cookie dough instead of the girl again.

Weddings
I got approved for my time off in August! But I suppose I haven’t mentioned anything about that yet. A good friend of mine is getting married to his long-time girlfriend at the end of August. I put in for time off last week in hopes of being able to make it to their wedding and my job said yes! What makes it even better is my friend, Amy, who now lives in Colorado and is VERY homesick has...

Chairman Of The Bored Conversations
George: That was adequately handled.
Me: Thanks. My mom always told me I was the best of her children at pushing in chairs.
George: She knows what she's talking about.
Me: She taught me everything I know. She used to tell me, "Derek, don't be afraid to use your feet."
George: Just your feet, eh? Not your head?
Me: She's not that kind of woman.

Appleburn
Last night I went to Applebees for dinner, something I do fairly often seeing as the beers are cheap, the staff is friendly, and they show the sports I want to watch and can’t see at home. I have come to know some of the bartenders and servers quite well, although there is always at least one I don’t. There are a few things you are always guaranteed to witness if you sit at an...

I finally have time to relax and write...
…and my computer craps out on me. Figures. It’s been a long time coming really. In computer years, this poor guy is ancient. It has been about two years since the battery has worked and, even though I usually clear it out every year, it just doesn’t run like it used to. I’m tempted to go tun out and buy a new one right now, but it is money I wasn’t planning on...

Casino Seuss
Me: Wait, this dealer's name is Ming? Wasn't the other dealer's name Ming?
Rebecca: Yeah.
Me: So they're both named Ming? Ming's relief is named Ming also?
Rebecca: That's got to get confusing. This Ming is mean. I liked the first Ming better.
Me: Haha! Ming One and Ming Two!

Current Status:
It’s 3:58pm. I’m currently sitting at a bar with a good friend and a girl he wants to have sex with. She would pretty much be down, but they have no place to go and she leaves tomorrow to head home. I’m the quintessential third wheel at he moment. I’m his ride and he wants her to be his ride and I just want to go home. I can’t, unfortunately, until this situation...
