Pokemon Go? Nerdvana!
Pokemon Go is already more popular than Tinder, another app where you swipe to find monsters in your area.
— Michael Hendrix (@michael_hendrix) July 13, 2016
Last week suddenly there were groups of people with backpacks and cell phones wandering the streets. Sounds like a typical day, except these back pack wearing, cell phone staring nerds were gathering in groups and pointing at things. In the past I’d refer to those groups as “nerd herds,” but this time those groups began to change. As...

Throwback Thursday! Should We Bubble Wrap The World?
This was very popular the first time I posted it. In a rare moment of clarity for me, I actually got a little philosophical. I hope my new readers enjoy it as well, and if you didn’t see it before, it’s new to you! And seriously, if the bubble wrap picture fromFriendsdoesn’t get you to read this, you’re dead inside.
We all love bubble wrap right? What we love about it is popping the bubbles, right? (Does anyone not see a metaphor coming?)In a post a few months ago about the idiot that petiti...

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Celebrities That Deserve a Punch in the Face
Keep in mind that this is only speculative and that I have no plans to punch anyone, nor do I advocate face punching of any kind by anyone else. That being said, if there were no real harm to others and no repercussions to me, these are 10 celebrities whom I believe deserve a strong punch to the forehead.

10.Kanye West:I figured I had to include him or he’d take offense and storm my blog demanding to be the first one punched. He would also take exception to being listed only...

Why The Amish Are Cooler Than You
Admit it, you saw the title and had to read further. I am totally diggin’ me some Amish action lately. I see straw hats, bonnets, and horse drawn buggys and I think, “Damn, break me off a piece of that!” I cannot find me a butter churn fast enough. We all love the Amish. We find their culture and lifestyle fascinating. Here’s your evidence that the Amish are hot: Last week I bought a shed from the Amish. (Notice how we always refer to them as ‘The Amish’? As if they’re all one group or a lar...

TBT! The Problem People: Are You One?
I am not a Problem Person, but you might be and not even know it. See the guy in the picture?
(Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic)
He’s a Problem Person. Rule of thumb: If you show up anywhere with a monkey on your shoulder, you’re a Problem Person. (The exception being when you work for a zoo and Jimmy Fallon invites you on his show to display exotic animals)
Most Problem People don’t know they’re Problem People:The official definition of Problem Person: Any person who through laziness and/or i...

Man’s (and Woman’s) Best Friends Are Not To Be Trusted
Have you ever been at home alone, except for one of your pets, and maybe you hit your thumb with a hammer while hanging a picture? Once the nerves in your thumb alert your brain that said thumb has been crushed, you then let loose with a barrage of obscenities that would be deemed to offensive for a Quentin Tarantino movie. Or perhaps, in front of friends you present yourself as a refined, erudite, philosophical scholar but as soon as you’re out of the sight of others you binge watch South P...

Friday Friends! Steve Says
I know what you’re thinking, “Yaaaa! A new feature on Phil’s blog!” Don’t be weirded out. I always know what you’re thinking. Over the years I’ve become very fond of my blog friends. Blogs are like genuine slices of a person’s life. To me, without assumptions based upon looks, office politics, or personal associations, a blog is essentially someone’s personality thrown out there into the world wide web. So I’ve decided to feature one of my blog friends every Friday so that if you don’t know t...

Throwback Thursdays Music!
On Mondays I do my Music Monday in hopes of introducing people to music and bands they may not have heard before. Earlier this week when I was reading T. Wayne’s blog, JoyfulProcessBlog, I sort of borrowed the idea to have a music Throwback Thursday. Go check out his blog, it’s awesome. Here’s a classic song from the 80’s and a shout out to all my Canadian friends who remember it.
Have a great Thursday! ~Phil

Wordless Wednesday! Concert Pic
This one is for Suziewho doesn’t believe that I go to concerts and have fun. I think she was implying that I’m too old to have fun.
This was from a Green Day show I went to three years ago. It’s one of my favorite pictures ever because I caught the girls arms in just the right pose and I caught the camera of someone else right in front of me capturing the same scene. Have a great Wednesday! ~Phil
