Martin Randomness: Too Bad Its Not Dessert - I Understand Ice Cream
http://martinrandomness.blogspot.com/2014/06/too-bad-its-not-dessert-i-understand.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. Too Bad Its Not Dessert - I Understand Ice Cream. I write this not as a political comment or even an opinion on whether he is a deserter or not – it is more of an overarching comment on the idea/scenario of deserting. The whole scenario is full of controversy:. Why would the make a swap now it puts our overseas soldiers in danger. Why was Congress not consulted before the swap. His fellow soldiers say he walked off the base that night he disappeared so he is a deserter. I recognize...

Martin Randomness: January 2008
http://martinrandomness.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Dinner's Just Not the Same. Last night was my first night with Zachary in a while (I have been gone for ten days at a show in Las Vegas) and I cheated and got KFC for the two of us. Chad had a presentation to do in Ft. Worth and wouldn't be back until after Z was in bed. As I started to take a bite from my sandwich, Zachary turns to me and says "Mommy, something is missing.". I looked around trying to imagine what he wanted - PBJ? I asked him what was missing. But Chad stayed i...

Martin Randomness: December 2007
http://martinrandomness.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 2, 2007. It was a Happy Thanksgiving. I had hoped that we would return from Thanksgiving armed with all of the funny stuff Z did while we were in San Angelo but in all honesty it was a beautiful sweet holiday. Zachary played in a huge pile of leaves and built a gingerbread house and ate lots of green beans. So many great memories made this holiday. We did miss the Strosniders (especially MiMi) but it was warm and wonderful. MiMi and I did giggle at another Z speak incident when he was ta...

Martin Randomness: Then Maybe You Shouldn't Wear a Stork Dress
http://martinrandomness.blogspot.com/2014/05/then-maybe-you-shouldnt-wear-stork-dress.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. Then Maybe You Shouldn't Wear a Stork Dress. I love US magazine. Totally shallow borderline shady stalker magazine. Not sure about my fascination with it. Stars as “real people” doing “real things” – they are just like US! Then I read this:. Sarah Millican at the BAFTAS. I suppose if I really wanted to psycho analyze my issues here we should start with my loathing of Kim Kardasian (where the heehaw does it come from? Chad and Mary Kate Martin.

Martin Randomness: April 2008
http://martinrandomness.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. At the beginning of April, Zachary got to meet one of his heroes. Thomas the Tank Engine. Chad and I opted not to tell him about it before hand. I wasn't sure if he would freak out on us or get so excited that he was a mess. I want to ride Thomas! Oops We finally convinced him that Thomas would be back and he could ride later. Going into this festivities, I thought the tickets were very pricing. $18 per person? Long I was so skeptical. Lots of money for little time. About ten minu...

Martin Randomness: November 2007
http://martinrandomness.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2007. Time to call CPS. My sister-in-law had her baby late Monday night - Congrats to the Strosniders and welcome to the world sweet little Kendall - so last night after work the Martins made their way down town to visit the latest edition to the fam. I came from work and Chad left work picked up Z and we skipped dinner and met up at the hospital. There were shouts of Mexican or Vietnamese (HUH? So MiMi asks Zachary "Where should we eat? And he responds "McDonalds.". Chad and Mary...

The artist's riposte: March 2010

A Boy Named Stu. Who was your bully? Sometimes the magic works. Sometimes, it doesnt. A zebra and his stripes. Why I hate graduate school. How Buddha saved Christ. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. In February I told you about the great art caper. Well Karma is a bitch. I can tell you that. You may think you have made your amends and then Bam! Now I have to tell you that I was pissed. Right? I have had my share in this stint of vandalism, but the last thing I wanted was to perpetuate this nonsense any further....

A Boy Named Stu. What is this thing to you? Monday, October 10, 2011. Tuesday, October 4, 2011. A great example of this happened to me the other day. It was morning, that much I can tell you. Most likely I was on my way home after having dropped the kids off at school. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful morning, when all of a sudden the idea hit me. I was dead. It reminds me of the exchange between Gandalf and Pippin in the Movie the Return of the King:. Pippin: [smiling] Well, that isn't so bad.

A Boy Named Stu. A brief meditation on powerlessness and helplessne. Sunday, December 5, 2010. A brief meditation on powerlessness and helplessness. Looking at the road in front of me, I take a long deep breath and let it out slowly. My eyes narrow and a let the words slip slowly from my mouth. “What part of this is good for me?
