An Ode to the 5 AM Alarm

Posted on April 27, 2021 by maximuslip

Once upon a Wednesday, there was a guy working out in his garage. A self-built garage gym. OK, well equipment bought off Amazon that required assembly. But at least it wasn’t Fisher Price, or so the package said. The idea of a home gym is, by most accounts, a tremendous idea. No gym membership. Time…

Dude Thought He Was THE Jersey Mike

Posted on March 25, 2021 by maximuslip

WHAT A RUSH! That feeling of anticipation that you get in your stomach when you place a to-go order at a restaurant under a false name that you unequivocally believe to be funny. But actually you are nervous because it has taken 10 minutes now, the name has yet to be called and you have…

A Muliti-Colored Sheen

Posted on March 23, 2021 by maximuslip

I will admit, I had to look up what the word “sheen” meant. Sheen (noun): A soft luster on a surface. Originally, my mind went right to Charlie Sheen, who is a man of many colors. Mostly white. But this word seems to stick out in a New York Times article that has a lot…

It All Smells Like Carrots To Me

Posted on March 17, 2021March 17, 2021 by maximuslip

Two years ago, we bought into the boomer hype and attempted to watch Cheers from the beginning. We couldn’t get through the first season. Didn’t even make it to Woody Harrelson’s appearance on the show, let alone Kirstie Alley. CORNY would be the first word that comes to mind. We laughed, but not enough to…

Love You Forever

Posted on January 5, 2021 by maximuslip

Well I just put my daughter down to sleep and tried unsuccessfully to read Love You Forever aloud without weeping into her pajamas. I feel like if I had read this book before I had a child, it would not have had the same effect on me. I also believe that had I read this…

Peanut Butter & Jelly Addiction

Posted on December 29, 2020 by maximuslip

You would be hard pressed to find another human that loves peanut butter & jelly (preserves!) sandwiches more than this guy. Actually, maybe the 1996 version of my old friend Jason who would come over to the house every day over the summer with a packed lunch would take the cake (a PB&J flavored cake)….

The Most Interesting Coincidence in the World (or Pittsburgh Area)

Posted on October 27, 2020 by maximuslip

Currently watching the NIT semi-finals match-up between TCU and UCF on ESPN (#Acronyms). A graphic was just flashed up on the screen talking about how Jamie Dixon, the head coach of TCU, is “The Most Interesting Coach in the World.” The rundown started off promising, noting that he grew up as a child actor and…

Why Do Fans at a Game Cheer When the Camera is on Them?

Posted on September 27, 2020September 27, 2020 by maximuslip

Every once in a while, I am forced to ask the hard questions. I say “forced” because although no one is physically making me type this, I will lose sleep if I cannot ask these questions over the internet. Do you ever catch yourself doing something, anything, and wondering why you are doing it? I…

Dior: Nothing Else Matters

Posted on September 22, 2020September 24, 2020 by maximuslip

Going through some old notes for blog topics and came across “Charlize Theron: Dior Commercial.” My OCD will not allow me to leave any topic unexplored, so here we are attempting to remember why this stood out to me… Hmmm, I remember now: Macy’s. This goes back to a time when I actually saw commercials,…

Is Zac Efron Married? So True? So False?

Posted on August 25, 2020September 24, 2020 by maximuslip

Another old topic here, but it could have been from yesterday based on what was learned from the outcome of the TV segment that I will soon reference. Let me set the scene: Cord not yet cut Wife watching E! Correction: Husband watching E! Segment on Zac Efron’s marital status entitled, So True, So False. First…
