So I’ve been meaning meaning to do this review for some time and I finally got a chance. A few months back I purchased the Minotaur MTAC Holster from Comp-Tac to replace my Infidel holster. The Infidel is a good, quality holster but with only one belt clip and the hard kydex a bit uncomfortable when sitting/driving, I decided to see what else was out there.

So as I begin to hit my 1/3-life crisis, I have been in search of the things that used to bring me joy and happiness as a youngster. Fishing…well, not for a few years given that I’m about 350 miles from any ocean. Archery, yea, I have a bow and recently bought a target, now I just have to set up the range in my backyard! Roller Hockey, yea, I bought the gear but the RollerPlex recently changed management and are closed for construction until May. Badminton, yea, I never stopped playing but the scene in this Phoenix shit hole sucks. So what is left you may ask? Street skating!!!! Rollerblading or inline skating for you older folks.
Yea, so I know the activity has taken a serious dive from the heights of its popularity in the 90’s but there are still a lot of people who do it. So in another judicious attempt to spur our failing economy, I bought some skates and gear and will be rollerblading around downtown Phoenix to get to school. While I have yet to see a single person rollerblading over the two years I have lived in this horrible state (ok, I did see one chick skating around in Chandler), I am, once again, rebuffing all that fits conformity and will be tearing it up urban style in downtown Phoenix, ASU Tempe, and up in Peoria.

Taken from: http://www.b937online.com/Tom-Answers-the-Tough-Questions—The-McDonalds-An/1266458
I know a girl who broke up with a guy and she told him she wanted to “still be friends.” He said, “No thanks.” She wondered why he couldn’t fall back to being just friends after they had a romantic relationship. I came up with the “McDonalds Analogy” to try and explain it in a simple way that would help all women understand this tough question.
Imagine if you went to McDonalds a lot and ordered a Big Mac Combo meal. A Big Mac, Large Fries and a Coke. You really like this meal. One day, you pull up to the drivethrough and order the Big Mac Combo meal and the girl tells you, “I’m sorry - you can have the Big Mac and the Coke, but you can’t get fries with that anymore.” You think about this for a moment, and sure - the Big Mac is the centerpiece of the meal, but McDonalds has some really good fries and you like their fries with your meal. So you say, “I’ve been able to get fries with that before, why can’t I have fries with my Big Mac combo anymore?” The girls says, “Well, I just think it is better if you only have the Big Mac and the Coke from here on out.”
At this point, a lot of guys are going to go to Wendy’s or BK and see if they can get fries with their combo at that drivethrough window. But there are some guys who REALLY like McDonalds Big Macs and they might think, “If I keep coming here and ordering the Big Mac and Coke, maybe she’ll change her mind and give me some fries with that later.” So they will keep on getting the combo without the fries until the deal breaker happens: One day that guy is going to order the Big Mac and Coke and then he’s going to pull up a little bit to pay, and someone else is going to pull up to the drivethrough speaker and order the “Big Mac Combo” and he is going to hear the girl say, “Would you like fries with that?”
That’s why guys don’t like to be friends with a girl who breaks up with them.
Not that anybody actually reads this blog or cares about what I think (except for you potential employers who will make judgments about my character based on what you read here…not smart by the way) but this topic is something that I have been wrestling with for some time now and I finally feel strong enough to come out about it. I am an atheist! Read the rest of this entry »

Choosing the Best Pet Food to Feed Your Animals - Some Personal Experience and Recommendations
Choosing the right pet food for your animals is, oddly enough, a rather difficult decision (or at least it should be). With so many options available, it’s easy to get confused and misled. The pet food industry is a $25 billion/year market and with all that money comes the power of marketing and branding. There are so many brands and types of pet food under labels such as “all natural”, “organic”, “wholesome”, and the like that one can’t help but be suckered into buying the label hype. So how can a good pet owner decipher all this marketing and make the best nutritional choice for their animals? It’s actually pretty simple; read the ingredients and the nutritional analysis, just like you would when buying food for yourself. Read the rest of this entry »
