Here’s something new for ya. A daily dose (maybe) of required reading. Something quick, something necessary, something funny, something beautiful. Something I’d like to share with you.

Read this. Then return. I’ll wait… Done? Good. Continue… One year later, I’ve yet to pull off anything spectacular. I guess I was kinda close to making a Brewers v. Phillies / Packers opening kickoff getaway happen for next week but really I could make the money or the times […]

Condoms suck. Birth control pills suck. What sucks more? If you guessed hookers, you’re both correct and funny. Give yourself 10 OWTK points.
