Sweat the Small Stuff: Ranting about the little peeves in life
Posted in General Rants on Apr 27th, 2007
Ok, when did life turn into the Super Bowl? Or better yet WWF Smack Down?? EVERYTHING is a competition! This all came apparent to me this morning while driving my daughter to her high school. Her drop off area is in front of her school and every morning it is like the Indy 500 meets [...]
Yet another “news” story that drives me nuts. What is the fascination with Alec Baldwin’s marital and family problems? I am all for knowing a bit about the entertainers that show up on the big small screens, but diving into their problems is not what I consider news or even remotely entertaining.
Are we just so [...]

Traffic gets backed up for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reason, though, there are some little courtesies people can offer that make the situation a bit more bearable for all involved. One of those that has been on my mind recently is the gesture to leave a gap for people to cross traffic at [...]
I enjoy a clean vehicle. I actually even enjoy cleaning my car for the most part because I find the time I spend cleaning is a step outside of my normal day and even someone therapeutic. There is something refreshing about completing the task and having that shiny, clean auto in front of you.

I am not a big conspiracy theorist, so I really don’t [...]

I love my sleep. I used to survive on very little of it, but I can tell that I am getting prematurely old because I need more sleep that I used to. What makes it worse is that once you get “off” in your sleeping routine, it is hard to get back on. Though I [...]

This is a small, petty one, but one that bothers me nonetheless. Our family consumes plenty of ranch dressing. My family did I grew up in, and we continue to do so. My wife is the only one that prefers most anything other than ranch, but the rest of pretty much stick with it. Ranch [...]

All of those famous 10 step programs always say the first step in is admitting you have a problem. Well, I admit I have a problem. When it comes to “man toys” I research the heck out of anything that I’m going to buy, to the point that I have typically convinced myself [...]
