“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...You couldn’t actually be any more wrong
I was browsing over my normal lunch-hour gaming news and blog posts when I came across two that are both so perfectly timed that it can't be a coincidence AND so completely and totally wrong. There is an article, which originated from a stockholders conference call by...
Recent Acquisitions
After having a huge December I needed to throttle back a little bit. I went through way too much birthday/freelance money and I don't have enough to last all summer. Luckily some more work is around the corner, but the point is that January and February were a little...
In return
I truly love the baseball card community. You guys are awesome. I offer to send people random cards, asking nothing in return, and you guys just send awesomeness right back. You rule. Seriously. I've sent out two packages in my Spring Cleaning '13 effort so far, one...
Series 1 Case Break Loot
A couple weeks ago, Crackin' Wax had his first big case break. He busted all but one box of Series 1 and raffled the final one away. I bought both Red Sox slots in the break, hoping to not only get a team set (which I did, x5) but to hopefully get a good chunk of the...
BMX
Last weekend I had a chance to do something I've always wanted to do, albeit on a small scale. I've always had a passion for the more extreme sports, although I've never attempted to actually participate in them. Skateboarding and BMX are probably my two favorite....
Jury Duty
Last week I did my civic duty and headed down to the courthouse on Wednesday morning. I've been called for jury duty 5 or 6 times since moving to Texas (mostly due to registering to vote in new counties and updating records at the DMV... that's how they getcha!) but...
Piles and Piles
So, this just happened... That's me, organizing my November-through-now piles of cards into different piles of cards, this time team specific. The keen-eyed observer would be able to spot various colored parallels, borders, diecuts, refractors and, I think, even a...
Best of Box
Two weeks ago, I was out looking for Series 1 at Walmart. I was a day or two early and struck out on that, but I did pick up one of those "Best of 2012" repack boxes that everyone was talking about. Why not. For starters, it had Bowman Platinum right up front. Since...
Fantasy Baseball
Ok, it's that time of year again. Time to drum up interest in a card bloggers fantasy baseball league. I'd really like to dissolve my current league and start fresh and I thought I'd put the idea out there in the blogging community to see if anyone is interested....
Always On
I'm becoming increasingly aggravated by the tactics used by both the entertainment and telecom industries to pigeon hole the internet into both a necessity and, at the same time, "luxury". It can't be both. It's either a phone line, or it's a Rolls Royce. Case in...
