There’s something about this video…
I’ve probably watched this video twice every month since it originally aired four years ago.
After this many replays I’m still not entirely sure what it is that makes this video stand out among all the others.
I’ve seen stronger vocalists.
I’ve heard better pitch.
I’ve witnessed perfect technical execution from other contestants.
But none of them have been this… pure? Enjoy.

Live Stream Truckin’
I had a genuinely bizarre call today. Or maybe it was incredible. I’m still not sure. A guy named Steve called and asked me if I was the owner of Southern Web, where I work. As soon as I told him I wasn’t the owner he said “well I guess that’s ok” and began to …

I was walking down the street near my home on an evening stroll, when a chiseled specimen came toward me from the opposite direction. He was out on an evening run and was making some really incredible time. I was out walking, trying to get a bit of exercise, and I think he could tell. …

So much of the time we rely on hobbies, or sports teams, or favorite Netflix Originals to bridge the gap between small talk and budding friendships. But we almost never think about the possibility that pain, or hardship, or …

That Time I Got Banned From 7-Eleven
As far as I know I’m the only person on the planet to ever be banned from a 7-Eleven. Granted, it was only from one location and not the entire chain, but still, I was genuinely asked by a 7-Eleven franchisee to never return to their establishment again. To this day I don’t believe I …

Mother’s Day at Walmart
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a Walmart SuperCenter between the hours of 2 and 5am but I’d never recommend it. It’s like FEMA has come though with their latest round of supplies since the most recent disaster. Aisles are littered with pallets of Great Value™ baked goods and whatever horrible sauce concoction …
