They have these? Really?

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

You Are a Coconut Flavored Popsicle
You are easygoing. For you, summer is definitely a time to kick back.
You are a peaceful soul. You shy away from drama and stress.

You are a warm and compassionate. You give everyone a fair chance.
Your tastes tend to be simple. You rather have a few high quality items than a bunch of junk.

Video of the day: Let’s talk vampires

(H/T Tater Tots For The Masses)

Yes, in fact, Glenn Beck is batshit crazy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I’ve looked at a few of the bits on YouTube from his recent internet-sensation, and this is the best one I think.

One of my favorite pictures of all time

Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

Bear was always tough to get pictures of, but when he cooperated I got some great stuff. I love how this one turned out, even if it was an accident:

Bear!

The accident in this picture is that the flash didn’t fire, but the natural lighting turned out awesome.

Oh, and sorry for missing last week.

Yes, I know I fail at blogging lately

…and I apologize. I just haven’t felt very bloggy lately. Nothing really hitting me worth blogging about.

So, uh… regular blogging will resume eventually.

Or not, I’m not sure.

Of course, I’m still active on Twitter, which is like 140-character lines of cocaine. Very addicting, but you can still pass a piss test at work.

What how I get naked says about me

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

I just couldn’t pass this quiz up…

You Are Carefree in Life
You are the life of the party. You also are completely uninhibited and honest.

You are happiest when you are inspired and creative. You like to live in the moment.

You are sensitive and considerate. You are always putting other people's needs before your own.

You are adventurous and constantly seeking. You feel like you still have a lot to learn about yourself.

Did he have a bite here? I don’t remember.

Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

Our guide casting. I forget why he was doing this, but I took a picture of it.

Yes, they’re really that tan. You spend 8 hours a day on the Gulf and you would be too.

Texas drops a class that, in theory, sounds good. In practice? Not so much.

Texas dropped their requirement for Health Ed classes:

Health class will no longer be a state requirement for high school students this fall, making Texas one of the few states in the country with no required health education, officials said.

Education Commissioner Robert Scott announced the move in a recent letter to school districts, causing some to worry Texas students will miss out on critical topics like alcohol awareness, sex education and basic nutrition.

Sure, you could argue that Texas students are now going to miss out on a lot. Or not.

I remember my health class. It was the second semester of my freshman year, taught by a coach who made it fairly obvious that she wanted to be anywhere but teaching that class. I felt like the first hour of my morning was a waste.

Not that I had a problem with that, mind you. I’m not a morning person. The only real class I had first thing in the morning was Algebra II my junior year, and I almost failed it. But that might have been because math’s not my strong suit.

Oh well, I still say good riddance to a useless class!

(Unless it’s first period, that is.)

You are what you eat. And apparently I’m cheesy… or something.

Welcome to Stupid Quiz Sunday, in which I'll take an online quiz that may or may not be stupid and post the results.

You Are Nachos
You are outgoing and generous. You love to share you life with other people.
You are carefree and light-hearted. You try to always make the best of things.

While you enjoy being with other people, you also value your alone time.
You like to reflect, think, and pick things apart. You like to study everything carefully.

You’re gonna want to throw that back

Welcome to Friday Photo, a new feature where I share photos that I've taken with the world.

My cousin Michael caught himself a yellow-fin tuna…

…and then threw it back.

According to our guides, yellow-fin tuna are pretty much inedible, so there was no point in keeping him. We took the picture because that fish really fought him.
