Sure it’s Halloween, but being the supporter of all things less popular, today I’ll be celebrating Reformation Day.
What’s Reformation Day, you ask? Remember Martin Luther? Not Martin Luther King Jr, just plain ol‘ Martin Luther. He was a feisty monk back in the day (1517), who saw a lot of discrepancies between what he read [...]
The date was October 27th, the time 2:00am. I met my goal of tearing a phone book in half. The two halves of a phonebook you see pictured above are the remnants of the very phone book which I tore. Note the Bryan/College Station edition, and the green carpet, which could only be found in [...]
This is a pretty highly anticipated post for “online diary for the masses.” I made the mistake of promising some of my readers (via a series of away messages) an update on my very cool Sunday. I said that when I woke up on Monday, I’d update the blog and share my fun day with [...]
I love parks. I have no problem with a percentage of my tax dollars going towards parks and services. I took this picture at my new favorite park in Dallas, White Rock Lake Park. See downtown across the lake? Isn’t it little? Fun huh? Thank you Dallas for building such an escape right in the [...]
Sometimes in life, you just gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet. That’s why I’ve recently taken another job (other than the beautiful one at REI). That’s right. I’m now officially Chief Jiffy News Correspondent — something I will certainly add to my existing resume. For my debut news update, click here. [...]
None of us will soon forget where we were when we heard about Judy Blume’s retirement from Jiffy News. I was sitting right here at my computer after waking up around noon from a solid night’s sleep. The death of such a beloved and informative blog does not occur without the world-wide-web community feeling the [...]
I came out of blog retirement to present to my readers an unexpected emergency that occurred the other night: I had just blown out a candle that had been burning for 5 hours or so, and by some God-forsaken lapse of judgement I picked up said candle, brought it to my face so as to [...]
Just minutes ago I read some sobering, yet enlightening news: Jiffy News will cease to exist. Sobering because, though it is a young blog, it’s popularity grew exponentially, and many Internet surfers felt at home there. Enlightening because it made me realize: if the people at Jiffy News can decide to up and quit their [...]
Whoever designed my apartment complex did a pretty good job of making residents feel safe regarding others trying to peek through their windows. My initial thought towards having all of our windows blocked by trees was undoubtedly negative. Not that we would have been able to see far had the trees not been there, but [...]
As you may recall, my goal for October, the only month of my life for which I’ve set a goal, is to tear a phone book in half. As of today, the 9th, this is how far I’ve been able to get.
That doesn’t mean that I’ve been working on the same phone book all month. [...]
