I forgot the ring. I stood there at the absolute perfect place, a sun setting low while I stood perched with the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with looking out on the the single most majestic sight I have ever seen in my life. Every element was perfect. Everything was…
I am a contrarian by nature. In fact, though it may not seem so, I spend a lot of mental energy trying to control this part of my personality. I let it breathe when talking about Tarantino’s terrible movies or how overrated Mezcal is, and make it take a back seat on things that matter.…
I’m on a vacation of sorts, more of a staycation but in someone else’s home. Relaxing by a pool, listening to people complain about the heat, trying to find time to read without interruption, failing miserably in that quest, things of that nature. I don’t think I’m alone in finding vacations to be fairly, well…
I have always considered myself a writer. This is a particularly bold proclamation considering I have zero published writings to my name.

When the final BCS Bowl Game selections came down I looked upon with a sense of dread and inevitability. My beloved Sooners were going to face Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, and another rout and more questioning of Bob Stoops ability to coach in big games seemed a foregone conclusion.1 But even as I resigned…
Thursday night’s Allstate Sugar had plenty of drama cooking before going into the game. It had the 11th ranked Oklahoma Sooners pitted against the third ranked Crimson Tide of Alabama. The Sooners were a 17 point underdog. However, Bob Stoops and multiple Sooners said they weren’t playing the underdog card, but rather the Sooners were…
I have what some would call an addictive personality. Alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, women. If it can be had in access I will have it in access. This is why I have long avoided sports gambling. I love the idea, I’m convinced I would be good at it. But we both know the reality is I…
