September 18, 2007In thirteen years playing baseball and three years coaching, I never experienced a fight on or off the field. Oh sure, we had our share of batters being hit by pitches and players becoming angry, but nothing serious. Had I ever experienced a fight of some sort, even a small one, I might have been [...]

September 17, 2007Most of the stories I like to tell about my days as a high school teacher involve my students. The time a student turned in a research paper on the history of hamburgers for computer class is an obvious example. Still, a few stories involve my co-workers (i.e. my fellow teachers).
In an organization with mostly [...]7 -
September 15, 2007For all practical purposes, this blog of mine is not yet two months old. Sure, I registered the domain way back in 2003, but it sat around doing nothing for years. When I finally started using it, all it did was point to my old Wordpress.com blog. The older posts you find here came over [...]

September 14, 2007I know what you are thinking right now.
“I wonder how many times Kev has eaten Chinese food for lunch the past two years?”
Wonder no more, my friend. The answer is fifteen. I have eaten Chinese food fifteen times for lunch in the past two years. I know this for two reasons: 1) my memory is [...]8 -
September 13, 2007As part of my continuing (I just started doing this today) effort to show my loyal readers (all four of you) exciting, cool things online (i.e. things that will benefit me in some way), I want to quickly write about the Blogger’s Choice Awards (and why you should go vote for me).
What are the [...]3 -
September 12, 2007I have a dilemma on my hands.
Since I moved to my new office earlier this year, I have come into contact with someone or something that I am allergic to. At home, no sneezing. At work, it’s Sneezapalooza. I sneeze so hard and so often, co-workers are afraid to bring their small children into the [...]5 -
September 11, 2007Call me an optimist, but I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that O.J. will one day find the real killer…
Call me an optimist, but I believe history will prove Milli Vanilli sang their own songs…
Call me an optimist, but I still contend Steven, the super-annoying Dell Dude, was framed…3 -
September 10, 2007I have seen the future and it is not pretty. Society is divided into two groups:
1. Those who wear Bluetooth headsets on their ears, and
2. Those who want to punch in the face those who wear them.8 -
September 10, 2007I am growing very tired of passwords. There are just way, way, way too many to remember. My e-mail account has a password. My bank accounts have passwords. My place of employment requires several passwords. My retirement account has a password. My blog has a password.
Passwords…PASSWORDS…PASSWORDS!
It’s enough to drive a sane man to drink Diet [...]7 -
September 7, 2007The tendency of one’s socks to disappear is something we all have experienced. This phenomenon (yes, I believe that word is apt) has been discussed, joked about and analyzed by people for seemingly forever.
Personally, I have never paid much attention to it.
Until now.
For most of my life, I knew (or so I thought) why my [...]4 -
September 6, 2007“I see Blue. He looks glooorious.” – Will Ferrell in the movie Old School
It was news that slipped through the cracks during the busy holiday season, but actor Patrick Cranshaw passed away just before the New Year. He was 86.
Cranshaw was a mostly unknown actor for nearly 50 years. Then, at the age of 84, [...]2 -
September 6, 2007According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
Security officers found 30 snakes, a dead bird and pieces of several other birds in the luggage of a man arriving at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport from South Korea last month.
The snakes were dead, but startled screeners still took extra precautions with the reptiles, said Jon Allen, a spokesman for [...]0 -
September 5, 2007Never one to follow trends, I have instead made it my mission in life to run away screaming in the opposite direction of them. This “do the opposite” philosophy has served me well in most instances (the Macarena, John Travolta movies, Mambo #5, Reality TV) and not so well in others (not drinking 8 glasses [...]

September 4, 2007Frugal cat that I am, I periodically sign up for free Wal-Mart samples at their website. I use an alias (“Chi Chi”) to protect my identity. To date, I have received:
A sample of some new flavor of Crest toothpaste, which lasted almost a week
A moistened dust cloth for the interior of my car (good for [...]1
I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.
Alright, I'm just a guy (though an admittedly awesome one at that -- oh, and humble) who likes to blog. Sarcasm, quick wit and gorilla dust are my tools of the trade. Feel free to browse my blog and follow me. It's okay. I won't call the cops. Click here if you'd like to write a guest blog for SKOS.
