Sometimes Our Autofocus Is Dumb

https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/jvuj29ac Let me tell you two different stories: Greg jerked out of his fitful slumber because a cold draft snuck under the covers when his wife got out of bed. After quickly sealing himself back into his burrito-like cocoon, he realized that warm or not, his aching back wouldn’t allow him to sleep. With all the angst a 40 year old … Read more

New Year’s Resolutions – 2014

Buy Klonopin Generic Write a book of fiction, just to see if I can. I’m making this resolution a year in advance so that perhaps I can get my life in order enough that devoting time to writing fiction might be practical. I have plenty of ideas for books, but fleshing them into more than napkin-sized scribbles is something beyond my ken. Hopefully … Read more

Writer’s Block – It’s Not a Dry Well…

https://clinicadrmaua.com.br/play/xicagiq/ It’s a clogged pipe. I’m a regular sufferer of writer’s block, and for years I had a deep seated fear it meant I had run out of ideas. Or creativity. Or grey matter. Perhaps that’s true, but since that is depressing and impossible to fix, I decided to declare it a total lie. And now it’s on the Internet, so … Read more

The Obligatory Resolutions Post

Generic Zolpidem Online I’m normally not a fan of New Year’s resolutions. You never hear anything thing about them after about January 2nd, and they’re often unrealistic and too general.

In Which Shawn Clarifies His Opinion of Westboro Baptist Church

https://regenamex.com/22q2z6tebu3 Perhaps it’s naïveté, perhaps it’s absentmindedness, or perhaps it’s just that people don’t know me as well as I think they do — but yesterday I tweeted something that confused about half the folks who read it: The problem is that I assumed everyone would KNOW I was being completely sarcastic in regards to “thanking” Westboro. I thought my tweet made … Read more

The Great Pie Fundraiser of 2012

https://sapooni.com/ihm1flbrjgj   My kids are selling pies for a school fundraiser for their choir/vocal class. (My two oldest are in choir, and are amazing, thanks for asking!) The cool part is, after orders are taken, the kids MAKE the pies themselves! What a neat idea, hats off to Hopkins Schools for a cool fundraiser. If you want to buy one, we’ll … Read more

The New Ride

Order Clonazepam Without Prescription My beloved 1994 Chevy S-10 unfortunately drives very much like a 1994 pickup truck with 200K miles on it. Don’t get me wrong, I love my truck. The thing is, now that we’re in the city, when I commute to work in the morning it feels very much like I’m going to die at any moment. My truck shimmies, it … Read more

It’s Official. And a Bit Scary.

https://baixacultura.org/2025/02/01/1c76ur1dw Many folks already know, but it only recently became official. I’ve accepted a position at Cornerstone University as “Assistant Director of Database Services”, which is just a wordy way of saying I’ll be working with a team of database folks much smarter than me, doing new and exciting things pertaining to databases. You want more details? Well, ask me in … Read more

Small Town Awesome

https://www.daathize.com.br/ikqbxpr Just as I’m whining on Twitter about running with asthma, and having a pity party for my otherwise healthy self, my phone rings. It’s a police officer from my home town. (I’m currently in another town, about 35 miles away) “Hello?” “Hi Shawn! This is Gordon. Are you missing something?” Now, to be clear, Gordon is a friend. He goes … Read more
