Uncle! Uncle!

Uncle! Uncle! (or Don’t Drink and Blog) I am only one person. I know I’ve said this before, but there’s too much good stuff happening on the Internet. I can’t keep up. There is not enough time in the day

Winning the lottery (or it never hurts to ask)

So what would you do with a million dollars? I’m not asking for myself, unfortunately. It was just a question that I ask when I buy the occasional lottery ticket. I think it’s less about wish-fulfillment than it is a

It’s The Little Things (Or You Don’t Know What You Got ‘Til It’s Gone)

Sometimes it’s the small things that will make your day. Like when a pretty girl or charming boy smiles at you for no reason. (I usually check my zipper when that happens.) Or when a certain song plays on the

Living the Dream (or Fake It Until You Make It)

Some days you just don’t feel like laughing. I’ve often heard phrases like “smile when you say that, they can hear it in your voice.” And while that’s true, it doesn’t mean you feel like smiling. Most of the time
