He recall's his version of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and sums it up in 3 Rules. He also takes the opportunity to expose the world to one of his many hidden talents, the ability at age 26 to … Continue reading Frosh-Soph Football Tryouts: Freshmeat Part 2

Everyone throughout their childhood makes a good friend that they one day just lose connection with due to things like petty drama or moving. Somehow I experienced this no less than four-time between my 7th and Freshmen year of college. Thinking back on it now I'm surprised this didn't damage me more emotionally, but apparently … Continue reading AFX and White Chocolate

I was never one to keep a diary or journal growing up. Even though I thoroughly enjoy writing down my thoughts and ideas, I have never been all that excited to put them down immediately as they occur.

The year is 2002. I am coming off an amazing CYO campaign in which I dropped 30 points per game and carried my team up and down the floor night in and night out. Now as my family knows I am one for the dramatics and am a habitual over exaggerator, but this is not one … Continue reading A Foundation of Lies Finale (Part 3): The Horrible Truth Part 2
