April 26, 2007Last fall, I wrote arguably my most serious blog post. It was titled A Christian Warrior, and it outlined Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz’s faith, his competitive nature, and the way I have followed his career since I was a child. I ended the post by writing:
Now 38, Smoltz’s time in baseball is winding down. [...]1 -
April 23, 2007A few months back, I wrote about the brain trust at my Verizon Visa account who maintained they could not lower the interest rate on my remaining balance because I had closed my account in 2004. They acted as though this was standard practice with all credit cards – as much as they’d love to [...]

April 17, 2007The following is a story I told (to their dismay) quite often to my students during my former days as a high school teacher. It’s a story of procrastination, creative writing, genius, insomnia and caffeine. It was both a warning to my students about what happens when you procrastinate, and a “could your teacher be [...]

April 15, 2007If Al Gore was alive to see what has become of his precious invention, the Internet, I believe he would weep. Well, he wouldn’t actually cry (robots cannot cry), but he’d be sad. Why, because MySpace is using the Internet to destroy civilization as we know it.
MySpace is a disease. People get on MySpace because [...]5 -
April 12, 2007Sorry for going all Fiona Apple on you with the long title. (I’m also sorry for the vague Fiona Apple reference that only myself and maybe two other sad people in the world will get without clicking the link)
Like everyone who has bills to pay each month, I am frustrated. My reason for frustration is [...]2 -
April 10, 2007I recently saw a stand-up comic on TV who said something that made me think. Why does everyone – the young, the old, the mean, the nice – smile when they see a baby?
Is it because they’re cute? Most of the time, yes. But surely not all babies are cute. If all babies were cute, [...]1 -
March 30, 2007LOS ANGELES, CA – After he had not been seen or heard from in ages, the last two members of the Fred Durst Fanclub have filed a missing persons report on the singer (pictured) of Limp Bizkit, a musical group that was inexplicably popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Last seen in the awful [...]0 -
March 16, 2007If the odds of Carrot Top winning an Academy Award for acting are better than the odds of an apparent scam not being a scam, it’s a scam.
- The Carrot Top Rule (From my untitled, unwritten book, “How to Make Stupid Work for You”)
I had heard of Craigslist before, but until this week I had [...]4 -
March 12, 2007This is Barry Bonds’ head circa 1987. This is Barry Bonds’ head today.
Either the man took steroids, or he ate the basketball I lost in junior high.1 -
March 6, 2007An avid reader of this blog recently left a comment with a link to an article. The article discusses Bank of America (my new bank) offering credit cards to illegal immigrants. Here’s an excerpt:
In recent years, banks across the country have begun offering checking accounts … to the nation’s fast-growing ranks of undocumented immigrants. But [...]3 -
March 5, 2007“Look at that guy.”
“Poor, pathetic, shell of a man.”
“Mommy, that man is holding a purse.”
These are phrases uttered at malls, grocery stores and Wal-Marts all over the nation. You’re just a guy minding his own business when your girlfriend, wife, female acquaintance or confused cousin Steve hands you a purse.
It’s not a pretty sight. [...]1 -
March 4, 2007A little while ago, Lauren called me saying she had seen a guy on a bus wearing the exact same Kenneth Cole sandals I own. She hates these sandals like a fat kid hates broccoli. Considering she also hates my black Kenneth Cole boots and my dark blue Levis jeans, I have come to the [...]

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.
