It has long been said that to ensure the survival of the human species, we must migrate from Earth. Right now, if something catastrophic happened to our planet, our human race would be extinct. However, if we can spread out, and inhabit other planets and particularly other galaxies, if something happened to Earth, our species continues to exist. But what if we are wrong? What if it is not the planet we must escape to preserve human life? I conjecture that to preserve the human species, we may need to escape the universe.
From the mouths of babes
Wife: "May I buy kitten food?"
Me: "If I say no, will it go away faster?"
Apparently, that was not the correct answer.
Well now, some people really do give a flying fuck
How tired?
I woke up at 5am to discover I fell asleep last night sitting up.
Today’s children’s shows
As I watch Saturday morning tv with my son I think these shows are creepy or the creators were high but then I recall my childhood programming and in all likelihood the probability that my childhood programming was the result of someone’s acid trip is far greator.
Not Mel Blanc
My 7 year old son is watching an animated show on television. I know I’m seeing a blue elephant with wheels for feet. But all I hear is Philip J Fry.
I have the winning ticket for the $340 million Powerball jackpot!
So I bought a Powerball ticket last night since it was a rather large jackpot, $340 million to be exact. Driving down the interstate today, I noticed the lottery billboard shows the Powerball at $40 million which means someone won. Using quantum physics, I know that I am that winner because I have not yet observed the ticket (nor have I observed an announcement of the winner) therefore my ticket must simultaneously be every winning and every losing combination. Now I just have to figure out how to observe that winning number.
Deep Thoughts
Sometimes I sleep. Usually that is a mistake.
Thank you Internet!
Don’t ruin it for everybody
Dear parents, rather than trying to force your ideals upon my children, please allow them to read the assigned reading and be challenged by the concepts and the language within the writing. These books, Feed and Robopocalypse
, were chosen for a reason, not by random choice. If you do not want your child to read the book, let your child read the alternative reading but leave my child alone. I believe these high school students, these young adults, can handle it.

Coffee Java java java java
How important is coffee to me? I sent my daughter to Costa Rica to bring back some grounds. Today I broke into them and the coffee tastes great!
New Life Strategy
My new goal at the beginning of each month: "Just make it to the end of the month alive."
Parenting is hard
When I said I want to be "that tv dad" I didn’t mean Red.
I suck at parenting.
When I die
Let my tombstone read: "Could have been worse."
