I woke up today and decided I’ve had too many serious posts as of late. Therefore, the title of this post doesn’t make sense. Also, this: Love, Britton

We’re Experts at the Wrong Thing!

Being a critic isn’t hard. Since it’s such a simple talent to develop, in fact, the world has a surplus of expert critics. You are, and so am I. Restaurants, technology, artwork, homework, handiwork–you name it, we’re happy to find a flaw or two. One of our favorite things to critique, though, is certainly people. [...]

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Ever see someone with perfect grades or a fantastic physique and think “how in the world do they balance the time that must take with all the other demands of life?” Truth is… they don’t. They prioritize. Many of us are under the illusion that if we were using our time right, we’d be able [...]

You’re Probably Too Busy.

If you’re like me, in the back of your head there’s a broken little record player. He was put there years ago when you were born into a fast-paced, technologically-savvy, capitalistic world. He has a single job–repeat, as many times as possible, the words “keep busy.” If you’re like me, that little record player has [...]

Useful Charts

I haven’t written anything in a long time… but I also don’t have anything to write about. Therefore, I’ve prepared the following informative charts:

Public Service Announcement – Use the Archive Button!

Over the last forever, I’ve noticed that most people’s Gmail Inboxes look something like this: Can I submit that it would work better if it looked like this? Does your Inbox have a few thousand messages in it? Ever find yourself thinking you’ll respond to an email later, only to forget about it? Read on [...]

The Best Use of Time

Britton — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:48:37 +0000

I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote today: Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are [...]

Acoustic Guitars and Happiness

Britton — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 06:22:56 +0000

I think I was born half musical instrument–sound fascinates me. Some days I’ll lie on my bed, hitting different notes on my guitar and letting them ring out, just to listen to the sound slowly fade. I feel more at peace socially when I have a guitar in my hands. I’m often nervous to meet [...]

The Awesomeness Thus Far

Britton — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:00:14 +0000

While this blog won’t be as thought out as most of mine, it will be quite full of awesome. The school year so far: Item the first – I bought a scooter! Neato. It’s a Rocketa (latin for “cheap chinese knockoff”), but it was cheap, it’s zippy (150cc), and it gets me where I need [...]

Ten Blogs in One

1. In my time here, I’ve decided that Houston is the slightly awkward but entertaining fat guy that you meet in the steamroom. He’s a fun guy to hang around, and easy to get to know. However, you spend the whole time there feeling really really hot and slightly awkward. Who knows the reason–maybe because [...]
