Have you heard the term “microblogging” bantered about these days? Perhaps you’ve heard of the most popular microblogging platform, Twitter? It certainly has some legs these days. There are all sorts of options out there, Twitter and Tumblr are two popular ones I have tried. (I really don’t use Twitter, and I have stopped using…

Not Relaxed
I never feel relaxed. Ever. I have been noticing this for a while now. It’s rather disturbing, actually. I can’t pinpoint the exact reason(s) for it, but mainly it stems from the fact that I never complete anything. I always feel like there are 7 other things I need to be doing at any point…
Bailouts
As you are well aware, I do not frequently comment on things in the political realm here. Mostly because it either seems irrelevant to me, or too annoying to talk about anyway. (Or, too volatile to post thoughts here… why are some people so tied to their political thoughts/beliefs/affiliations??) But today I saw the first…
Tired
As you the readers of GregsHead may already know… I am busy. Busier, more stretched-thin, and just more tired than I can ever remember being. Maybe it’s just cause I’m getting old? Maybe I’m still trying to do too much. But last night, as I was reading the day’s emails, news, and various things around…
Three Little Known Facts
I was thinking today… I bet that you – no matter how much you may read this blog – may not know the following three things about me… I am an ordained minister. (It’s true! No lie!) I have a friend who refuses to call me anything but Mitch (and various derivatives) Both of my…
Viewer Discretion Advised
We like to watch football on Sundays. A lot. We usually have football on from about 12 noon till 11pm or later. We don’t sit in front of the TV that whole time, but it’s just on. That said, we are super thankful for Tivo. Any time a commercial comes on we hit “pause” because…
Feeling Old
Yesterday as I was walking through the mall on my lunch break at Apple, I was reminded again that I really am old. :-) Yes, I realize I am exaggerating a bit. Turning 34 soon does not in most circles qualify as old, but it seems that at the mall… it does! First of all,…
Power
I am just a little bit afraid right now. As I type this, I am sitting on my porch in the middle of either the remnants of, or the after effects of hurricane Ike. Mind you, I live in western New York state. Hurricanes don’t usually affect us much more than a long, steady soaking….
Foreigners
I’ve been thinking about “home” a little bit recently. We were visiting family this weekend who live about an hour and a half from our home. I was thinking about how if we lived there, it wouldn’t ever quite feel like home. At least, to me. It would feel like we were always visiting. Never…
Half Mom, Half Dad
We were looking at old slides last night at my wife’s family reunion. We get together every Labor Day weekend, and this time, at Jen’s request, Dad broke out the old slide projector and we spent an hour or so looking at old photos. Almost every photo brought laughs along with a funny story or…
