I know what you’re thinking, and no, this doesn’t have anything to do with me shooting my eye out, getting my tongue stuck to a pole, or a leg-lamp (FRA-GI-LE! Must be Italian!)…. I wish my stories were that cool! Fact of the matter is, although they may not be movie-worthy, we all have some…
Category: MSN Spaces
These are the posts that started it all back in the summer of 2005. A girl I’d been chatting with on MSN Messenger said, “I’m thinking about getting a Myspace.”
What’s in a name?
Kenneth Paul Salvini, Kenny for short. Nothing special, doesn’t really have a particular ring to it. Remember growing up when it seemed like your name just wasn’t cool enough? Didn’t matter how different your name was, it was never different enough. If you were a Travis, you wanted to be a Jake… Lindsays wanted to…
Chicks dig scars
…okay I’m not really sure if that’s true, but it’s a good title. I don’t know if this could be considered an extension of the post before last, I guess it’s just another one of my philosophies for my life along the same lines. Can’t quite recall how we got on the subject the other…
Separated at birth
You know, if I wasn’t feeling ridiculously lazy at the moment, I could have done some research for this entry. I could’ve spouted off some glorified statistic on how many people one person makes acquaintances with in their lifetime, but really, wouldn’t that just be overkill? Instead, I will just use the broad measurement term…
A call to arms… or hands, at least
Okay, here is the obligatory appendix to the vocabulary renaissance piece. In my tirade about long-lost slang words, I hinted at yet another modern gem that has been mindlessly tossed aside. Yes, I’m speaking of the high-five. Ah… the high-five. What was once the most exuberant expression of excitement/greeting of choice, hands down (pardon the pun),…
A vocabulary renaissance
In the course of a lifetime, people tend to latch on to various trends of speech. Heavily influenced by pop culture, many of the words we use come from the music we listen to and the movies we see. But just like fashion, some of the words we use come with a shelf life. Everyone…
Stumbling around in time
Marty McFly had his DeLorean powered by the flux capacitor with 1.21 gigawatts. Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston Esq. commandeered a magical phone booth, with George Carlin as their tour guide no less. Hell, all Peggy Sue needed was a bump on the head. Since the dawn of speculation, great thinkers and morons alike…
We need labels…
Don’t you just LOVE pharmaceutical drug commercials? You know those commercials. The ones that always end with some guy quickly muttering the contents of the warning label attached to the drug: “Possible side effects include; headache, nausea, blurred vision, hemorrhaging from the ears, explosive diarrhea, heart and/or kidney failure, the rotting of sexual organs to…
An evolution of faith
Growing up, our family never went to church. By the time I was 16, I think I had MAYBE been to church on a Sunday half a dozen times. The only reason I went those times was because I made the mistake of staying over at a friends house on a Saturday night. So pretty…
Well, well, well…
Get out your folding lawn chair, thermos, and picket sign everyone! Oh yeah, that’s right… it’s boycotting time! It’s nice to see that I’m not the only one noticing how out of hand things are getting on this thing. I’ve tried and tried to suppress that alter ego of mine from spouting off about things,…
