So I woke up and whizzed – my normal morning ritual. But today was different. Today my pee was phosphorescent yellow. I’m not talking about ‘bright yellow’ or ‘really yellow’. I’m talking about so bright that I thought someone had dropped a glow stick in the bowl or that a nearby nuclear reactor had managed to send it it’s waste…

Special Cafe People – Part 1
Well, at long last it is time to feature the customers that truly make you wonder whether their parents were asleep at the wheel, or, sadly, whether you yourself are off your rockers. Some of these are your regular customers and you are afraid to ask them directly or the topic is awkward. Others are one-off wack-nuts that come in…
If You Want Dedicated Bike lanes, Then Ticket the Snot Out of Bad Bikers
I like bikes. They look healthy and clean and I remember enjoying them when I was a kid. I’ve also heard they are good for adults. I’ve even considered riding one again, but I don’t have either money or time thanks to a devastating investment I made five years ago… but I digress. I’ve been meaning to write this rant…
Nik Wallenda, Confidence in Christ, and Assurance of Salvation
I was doing my weekly 3 minute review of what I’m supposed to consider important (scanning the news headlines) when I came across an article and video that actually made me open it in a fresh tab. Nik Wallenda walked across this wire and became the ‘first person to cross the Grand Canyon on a type wire’. Before I even…

Patchouli Oil – The Easy Way to Lose Friends and Kill People
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Thu, 03/03/2011 – 20:20 —————————————- It started with a gagging feeling in the back of my throat. You know – the one you get if you stick your finger far enough back. Usually it causes a kind of automatic ‘wwwweck!’ sound, but I digress. Then, a kind of dry-eye feeling (if that’s a feeling) arose. Sounds…

I knew that the people who really need to read this wouldn’t if I didn’t word it that way. The inspiration for this tutorial is based on one of those ‘situations’ that didn’t need to become a ‘situation’ at all. As I was sitting there…
A Forwarded Email from Mom Worth Blogging
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Thu, 10/06/2011 – 20:38 Mom’s gonna read this for sure so I can’t say anything about her forwarded emails but you know… Moms like to forward stuff to their kids. It’s like social media to them. My mom is great because we’ve been pretty open about what I auto-delete and what I actually read so she…
Cutting Out the Rust
rusty <–CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS POST. RIGHT CLICK ‘SAVE LINK AS’ WORKS TOO. One of my fondest ever memories is that of my 1977 Honday Civic. This thing was dope. Four speeds, a super long stick shift, felt like you were going 200K on the highway when you were actually going 85, and had those…
When to Fight and When to Fold ’em
I’m not a fighter. If someone were to attack me I would just curl up in a ball and try to protect my vital organs. I tried Tae Kwon Do to remedy that back in high school but I still find it easier to curl up in a ball. I’m not lazy, but I just figure even dirtbags would feel…
