Blog

Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

Photographing a Lunar Eclipse on 35mm Film

Blog, Photography

If you were to ask my wife why I do all of the hard things I do, she’ll tell you that it is because I can. And she isn’t wrong. I genuinely love to find out about something new, or old that I should be able to do and then spend days and weeks researching […]

Six sixes. Four nines. Three twelves. Two eighteens. One thirty-six. The past year started out with my baby girl turning one. It’s hard to think she’s approaching two so quickly now. We threw her a big bash to ring in the whole year. Two months later she started walking and has been getting fast and […]

Madison, Wisconsin Capitol – Fall 2006

Blog, Photography

I don’t have the usual gallery to share today. However, I do have 20 exposures from a roll of 24 all stitched into a single image. I used my Kodak Retina Reflex S camera with a 135mm telephoto lens, all of which was mounted on a tripod. This was the first roll I shot once […]

High School – Roll 13

Blog, Photography

This is the last of my rolls from my film photography class in high school. Following this class, I had a semester of digital photography which I didn’t enjoy. That class had too much emphasis on Photoshop edits and those aren’t really my thing. These photos, however, are not the last of the photos I […]

OMG LOL i no rite? Sadly, that used to be me. I used to write like an asshole. But in my defense, I was in middle school and most likely was an asshole. Plus, everyone else was doing it. Now I have come a long way since then. I like to think that I write […]

Twisted Reason She Killed Caylee


Fiction

Her sleep was interrupted by Caylee. Her meals were interrupted by Caylee. Her grooming was interrupted by Caylee. But she didn’t mind Caylee. No, it was wrong to say that she didn’t mind her. It would be more accurate to say that she minder her a lot because of these things, but since she was […]

It was not an apple that Eve ate


Blog

Yesterday, I went with the guys for a fish fry. The three of us are all Catholic and we try to observe the practice of not eating meat on Fridays during Lent as a form of fasting. There are quite a few places within walking distance from our apartment that offer some sort of fish […]

The tinman has this problem


Blog

I am working on my server currently and I was looking at options of things to install. I came across this message: Maybe Heartbeat is not installed, or your module configuration is incorrect. I hope that there will never be a day when I run into this message and have it truly scare me.

This blog is like…um…a…


Blog

My cousin has become quite the compulsive blogger of late. Or rather I found out that she keeps a blog, of late. Either way, I have found some gems while reading through the massive amounts of daily posts she has. This one appealed to me on so many levels that I could not live my […]

How do I even apply


Blog

I had nothing to do today at work, or rather little to do. In lieu of finding boring tasks I went about the web searching for a place to go for Grad school. If this shocks you, do not be alarmed because you are not alone. I haven’t really been sure what I am going […]

Sassyhacksaws 2.0


Blog

I hope you noticed. I mean seriously, you are here and it is all around you (or rather this). But I redesigned the site. I know I sort of kept it a secret, that is unless you followed my Twitter this past week where I had a bunch of tweets about it. Let me know […]

Private Interview


Fiction

“Why did you do it John?” “Why did I do what? Why did I try to change the nation? Is that why you are here?” “You know why I am here. And yes, that includes wanting to know why you tried to change the nation. I want to know why you took that upon yourself, […]

1st person narratives of same event


Fiction

Part 1 – It happened when I was little; I must have been five or six years old at the time. I remember it being warm out, the end of May. It was a nice day outside, the sun with a bright blue sky behind it with a scattering of white fluffy clouds. My mother […]
