The great chair debacle of '09. Based on true... →
Gem the reporter got a new job. And her replacement, Rory, started work with a chair that doesn’t quite work. Something that Gem had been living with for a while, we have to suppose. So, Samantha,…

Under the influence →
My days recently have been punctuated with discussion of the homeless, of how we are feeding ourselves cheaply and killing our world, by articles about the bees disappearing and dying, of pictures of…
Advertising that just doesn't make sense. →
I sometimes joke that my career is to manufacture and design trash. Newsprint, by nature, usually has a one day shelf-life. I say it jokingly when jovial, and cry it when drinking tequila; and such…
The unpredictability of the future, my sanity, and... →
Mine and Cris’ life are in a place of flux. Things are constantly on the cusp of happening and we are fully aware that change is coming. What we are unaware of, is how large that change will be, when…
Shark Week tragedies →
I have always had a passing interest in Shark Week. Basically, I watch it when I catch it. However, for my girlfriend Cris, it almost rivals the Super Bowl (ok, maybe I won’t go that far. A playoff…

I think this one will actually be funny. That earlier blog post was just practice. I am doing an article for the magazine about green products for the home. Sigh. I know, you don’t have to tell me….
For the love →
OMG, I desperately need to put some funny up in here because this place is getting depressing. So … movies. What a nice un-offensive topic! This has been a great summer for movies. Unfortunately…
Not a piece of meat →
I have thought long and hard about this post. It is a reaction to my friend Rachel’s post on her blog, Called to Grow. You can read it here: Trophy Wife Tuesday. I hope for this to be an…
Politics and religion →
I try to avoid both of these subjects in my blog. Mostly because I have lots of friends with views that oppose my own and I would like to keep them as friends. Also, I don’t like being serious…
My. worst. nightmare. →
Literally. I used to have this re-occurring nightmare as a child that we lived in this huge tank of water… shudder. I was stumbling around the internet today when I saw a list (I do love a list) of…
The politics of running →
My fingers are all aflutter because I don’t even know where to start. Ok, Ok, ok. So, Sarah Palin was interviewed in Runner’s World this month. I heard a blurb about it on the news the other day and…

Because of the “german porn” part, this distinctly reminds me of a story that Noah and Sabrina once told me.

Hit it. Just hit it. →
So, the title is a cheap shot. I don’t care. I know that people will remember yesterday as the day that Michael Jackson died and completely overshadowed Farrah Fawcett’s death (for real, cocktail…
My doctor's office is not unlike Ikea. →
So, if you read my running blog anjasmith.blountblogs.com you will notice a new post that is called A long six weeks. It is about how I am a dumb ass and have horribly healed stress fractures that…
Begone! →
Note to all of you flying helicopters over Helen, Georgia: They don’t like it. Not really sure why but it was made very clear by a sign we saw driving into Helen. It was hanging from a tree. Thirty…
Hitler's Law →
I have to ask Amanda for forgiveness, because I am stealing her thunder here a little. Right after Dr. Tiller was shot, she wrote a column about, like abortion or not, his murder being morally wrong….
You think you know someone ... →
You think you know someone, you think you are going to build a life with them. You think that they are loving and caring and sweet and practically perfect in every way. And then you find out that…

House Gymnastics? →
I don’t usually use this blog to talk about fitness stuff, but, desperate times guys, desperate times. I am soooo uninspired to stay in shape at the moment. It is horrible. I have stopped going to…
Why do you rip my heart out Hollywood? →
They are remaking Footloose. WHY!?!?!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE FIRST ONE? Kevin Bacon is alive and well people! The music: still very relevant. The dancing: I whip out those moves in dance-offs to…
Poor dead beaver →
I can’t seem to focus. It’s been a little over a week. Maybe it is stress, maybe it is Mom having been ill, maybe it is allergies. Could be anything. Whatever the cause, I have been trying to think…
Token this, token that →
I would not say I get “annoyed” with people when they call a non-WASP character in a movie a “token” something but … I don’t get it. Token black guy, token fat guy, token gay guy … first off,…
I'm sorry, you do what again? →
As most of you know, Cris (my gf) is looking for a job. Of course, being the awesome gf that I am, I help her look. It is NOT a good time to be looking for a job, just in case you have been living…

Super funny blog about gross food.
How did I wind up with this bleeding heart? →
I feel the need to preface this post with: I love my father and he is my hero. That said: I spent this weekend at my parents for Mother’s Day (mommy shout out!) and had a really nice time. I got to…

I am funniest when I speak to myself →
I am pretty sure I have written a post before on how I talk to myself in the car. In fact I know I have because I just checked my archives and I did in a post called Talking heads and why I am a…
Mayonnaise and Beer | FMBV →
Once again, I blog about something and soon after am linked to someone else saying it much more eloquently.
This really is a great lesson though!
Prioritizing life →
News flash: life is hard. I know, I wanted to jump off of a bridge too when I heard about it. But, don’t panic, because in the way that I have of being eternally optimistic (and simultaneously a…

This is my kind of guy. I wasn’t sure about following this blog, until I did, and then I knew I had made the right decision.

Haven’t found an actual purpose, except being acceptionally good at taking up bandwidth and blowing my mind.
Ode for Ben →
My friend Ben. Ahhhhhhhh, where do I start. We are each others muses. That is all I can say. It is like we are soul mates, only, we don’t like each other like that and also we really don’t spend…
Questionable content. →
If you never want to have control of your life ever again. It is sooooooooo addictingly good.
