You probably would of not guessed I like New Age music from the '80s and '90s. I especially love artists such as Enya and Yanni. I typically listen to it before bed or even when I am trying to sleep.

I picked mine as both as a salute to the Kingdom of Hyrule and to the historic Scandinavian civilization that I am fascinated with. I was originally thinking about adding the numeral 2112 because I am a huge Rush fan, (2112 Is a reference to their epic album from 1976.) but instead I decided to...

I have a hunch why the Japanese call a buffet after historic Scandinavians. It has something to do with the word Smorgasbord, The word "Smorgasbord comes from Swedish literally translated as "buttered bread table." The Vikings settled in what is now modern-day Sweden as well as places such as...

Wanderfalke it is the German word for Peregrine Falcon, although it literally means "Wandering Falcon" I always thought that It would be an awesome title for a high fantasy novel.

I sometimes like playing Blackjack or Exploding Kittens, although what I really want to play is Cards Against Humanity.

I was at the Gym today doing my usual cardio followed by swimming, hot tub, steam room, sauna and shower routine. Only to find that some idiot stole my shower gel when I was in the pool. Seriously who the hell does that?

I pulled an all-night drive from Abilene, Texas to where I live in North Carolina, I did not cross into North Carolina from Tennessee until 5:00 AM today, I got back to my house a few hours later. Needless to say I am extremely tired and should of possibly stayed at a hotel in Nashville or...

Greg Joseph nailing a last second of the game 61-yard field goal for a 27-24 Minnesota Vikings victory over the New York Giants.

Probably the Johnny Cash cover of "I've been everywhere". The irony being that I do not usually listen to Country.

See How they Run This 2022 slightly farcical, headscratcher of a classic whodunnit within a whodunnit is an interesting tale of deception, synergy and humor all packaged in visuals that are somewhat Identical to that of Wes Anderson. 9.5/10

Usually afterwards all that walking I end up...

I traveled back to Kansas today. On the flight from Dallas-Ft Worth to Wichita I got upgraded to First Class. Not to mention all went well really smoothly getting past the TSA in Charlotte, Mostly because last time I flew out of Charlotte (Which coincidentally was last week) they were fairly...

I had to make an urgent trip to Kansas. Normally I just leave from the airport that Is closest to where I live (Which is the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro), but the airline I was flying in screwed me over by cancelling my flight from Greensboro to Dallas/Ft. Worth because of...

What I like doing sometimes with sunflower seeds is Mixing them with thawed frozen corn, black beans and cooking them in butter (Usually in a slow cooker) with a fair to decent amount of Cayenne Pepper. I sometimes make it as a side dish for Thanksgiving.

The Nice Guys (2016) 9.5/10 Set in Los Angeles in the 1970s This Neo-Noir Action Comedy is a surprising role for action film veteran Russell Crowe. Oddly enough I found Crowe's role to be the perfect counterpart to Ryan Gosling's character who definitely gets more yuks than Crowe but what makes...

I recently stumbled across The Adventures of Sam & Max Freelance Police, it was surprisingly good. Although It didn't run as long as Animaniacs or Ren & Stimpy which a lot of the comedy seems to mimic, but it does have some unique connotations. If anything maybe creator Steve Purcell could...

I purchased an anniversary edition paperback of Sam & Max: Surfin' the Highway, that and I purchased and downloaded Spirit of The North for my Switch Lite.

I used to see constellations back when I lived in Iowa, I was lucky to live in a neighborhood that did not have any streetlights, although now that I live in North Carolina I can barely even make out Polaris. The only thing that does show up is The Moon, It's probably because I live in a...

I saw rumors on Facebook that Nintendo might be making a new Star Fox game for the Nintendo Switch/Switch Lite. Please let that be true I haven't played any of the Star Fox games since they ported Star Fox 64 to the 3DS back in the Summer of 2011.

I was being lazy, that's the whole relaxing on the deck conundrum, you're pretty oblivious of most bugs, Mosquitoes and Yellowjackets are the exception.

Don't worry the caterpillar wasn't harmed.

I was sitting out on the deck on my deckchair listening to some music when out of nowhere a caterpillar decided to slink across my armpit, If it weren't for me wearing a T-Shirt I probably wouldn't of noticed it. I couldn't blow it off instead I resorted to using my phone to brush it off my...

I use Spotify copiously, It is my main source for music, I used to use Spotify less because the ads were annoying, but I now have Premium so no ads for me, I have used Spotify a lot on long road trips, and have made several playlists. One of which has nearly 280 likes.

I got back from my vacation in Arizona last night, I flew into Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, What I didn't realize is that even at 10:40 P.M. on a Sunday is insanely congested and it took me nearly 25 minutes to find and take a shuttle bus to the parking lot where my car was parked.

Typically when I go to the gym I usually lap swim for like 30 minutes to an hour before hitting the hot tub and taking a shvitz. If anything I always come back to my place wanting to take a nap or sunbathe afterwards.

I do not like: Mushrooms (Too smelly and they trigger my gag reflex) Veal (Too Controversial) Shellfish (I like regular fish but shellfish it is a consistency thing thankfully I do not have an allergy, so theoretically If I liked them I would eat them) Hard boiled Eggs (Too Smelly) Deviled Eggs...

Technically Speaking Bach is not a classical composer he's a baroque composer, Liszt isn't also classical he's considered romanticism, the only true classical composer is Mozart, although his style would become more mainstream under his musical successor Franz Joseph Haydn since Mozart died...

It was more than just good it was absolutely tremendous: Netflix released a show with one of my favorite comedic actors, and I got some major R&R done, I swear I freaking love summer, I am usually at my most chill in the summertime.

I bingewatched Man vs Bee on Netflix, Contrary to the cheesy title this show is actually pretty enjoyable. It is best described as Moby Dick meets Mr. Bean.

One of my favorite YouTubers uploaded a new video, It also happened to be my birthday and the weather was just perfect for a relaxing sunbathing session.

What a coincidence I too watched that also, the only thing I would add is that it needed more Kenny Loggins, that and as an avid Aviation Enthusiast, since when did the Russian Air Force get the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, In actuality The Russian Air Force only flies Russian built aircraft such as the...

Does anybody else feel like joining me in my Yellow Submarine looking for Lucy in the sky (Possibly with diamonds) captained by Sgt. Pepper? This trip will be for the Benefit of my business partner Mr. Kite. Hurry up I left it by the parking meter and I am certain Lovely Rita is on her way.

I love red foxes because they sometimes have been known to bond with humans, If anything I think that is really cute.

My iPhone has a feature that I did not know about until later, but basically when activated it automatically silences any calls that are not in my contacts list. My only complaint is that it does not work for spam text messages, I still get those, but to not answer spam calls when they first...

Feta is absolutely delicious, people always seem to give feta a bad reputation for tasting like salt. Thankfully I live in a city in North Carolina with a fairly large Greek population and there is a greek market and I have tried true feta which I admit is much more mild than the stuff you get...

Sounds like someone has been to or lives in Wisconsin, coincidentally I am going to be traveling to Milwaukee over this weekend.

Oaxaca is one of my favorites it tastes like a cross between Mozzarella and Jack Cheese, really dynamite on Refried beans, but it is ridiculously delicious on scrambled eggs I also really like Manchego it is a cheese that hails from La Mancha in Spain it kind of tastes similar to Parmesan...

A double decker scrambled egg tostada with a layer of refried beans and Oaxaca cheese in the middle garnished with tomatillo salsa verde, jalapeños and more Oaxaca cheese.

I got a friend request on Facebook from someone I went to High School with who annoyed me, I still have not responded to it since I am a little bit worried this person would only be there to be irritating with me again.

As a Transplanted Southerner there are really only two kinds of nuts that are widely seen as the go-to nut in the South, peanuts and pecans, the former I admit having a fairly huge addiction to, The Ironic thing is that I have not tried boiled peanuts which is so big down here in the South.

I really took a shine to a Historical Musicology class, a while back. I remember learning a lot more about the nuances in music history. I especially loved how history often shaped a composer's life. Other classes I really enjoyed were Earth Science (Geology), Astronomy, French and German in...
