Princess Meatball

January 25, 2010

Princess Meatball
The princess of the land
Of spaghetti people
With tomato sauce hands
Evil Cindy
The mean old lady nurse
Steals the giggles from the children
And keeps them in her purse
But Princess Meatball
Comes to save the day
With her hugs and her kisses
She makes everything okay
Princess Meatball
The princess of the land
Of spaghetti people
With tomato sauce hands

What’s best for baby

November 30, 2009

Lots of strange things go through your head when you’re about to be a dad.  I heard a tale of a guy who, in his wife’s final semester, went out and got CPR certified – just in case.  For me, it’s a bit different.
I worry about lots of things.  I worry about our daughter not [...]

Our country is messed up

November 24, 2009

I’m about to be a dad, which gives me the right to deviate from the norm and open up a little bit.
Nobody remembers the Romans for their intricate investment products.  Nobody remembers the Greeks for their healthcare system.  I don’t know if the Egyptians have a single filibuster in their history. So why do we [...]

Shoutouts

November 12, 2009

The gal who smokes in front of our building, right by the doors and insists on taking the elevator even though she works on the second floor.
The guy who leaves his car at the pump while he goes inside, takes a big poop, shops around for a while even though it’s the AM rush and [...]

Double standards

October 29, 2009

I’m not bitching about my wife here, but I have come to notice a few double standards around our household that strike me as ridiculous.  Like any healthy marriage, we have our share of disagreements, arguments, and failed communication.  What’s that have to do with the double standards?  Maybe nothing, maybe everything.
First up, let’s visit [...]

A slightly memorable mistake

October 25, 2009

I’ve been sick for about a week. It’s not the flu. I don’t have a fever. I’ve just been stuffed up and coughing.
To get to bed, I’ve been relying on a combination of Nyquil and Vick’s Vapo Rub. It seems to get me to sleep. Last night I made a [...]

Where I’ve been this week

October 23, 2009

I’ve been sick.  I didn’t want to do anything, so no updates.
But, we’ve got another song over on the band website: www.thesessionists.com. Check it.

Sports: live vs. tv

October 19, 2009

I like sports, but I’m lazy about it.  I like sports from the sofa.  Sometimes I can’t even imagine suffering through a live sporting event when you’re actually attending the event.
I’m sitting here tonight enjoying yet another post-season Phillies game.  i have some friends at the game in Philly.  I’m sure it’s fun and all [...]

Pregnancy takes too long

October 13, 2009

Pregnancy takes too long.  Too damn long.  Leona’s been pregnant for like two years at this point.  Enough already!  Let me meet my kid!
We’ve got two months of this stuff left, and it’s not looking good.  She can barely put her shoes on.  I got home tonight from band practice and she said, “I think [...]

Carpet Shampooer

October 5, 2009

I broke Leona down this weekend and we bought a carpet shampooer.  She would be mad if I told you how disgusting the carpet was, so instead I will tell you about how awesome it is.
This thing is totally friggin’ awesome.  I ran it over the dining room area rug, which used to be the [...]
