March 9th, 2008 · 11 Responses
My wife is downstairs in the “man room” pounding a set of fake drums in a tutorial for playing a Metallica song on Rock Band. We just finished band practice with our neighbors, who are part of one of our bands in the game. She won’t stop playing until she’s too tired, most likely around […]

This is amazing.
This is ridiculous.
First of all, I don’t own an Iphone. I wish I did, but I do have an Ipod Touch, which is basically an Iphone without said phone and the camera. This is due to the fact that I have a Blackberry for work (that work pays for) that has […]

I’ve been asked to perform a wedding for two great friends. I don’t know how to do it, but I know I’d like to have some things to say that will help tie the day together with their feelings and the experience of getting married in front of friends and family.
