I hope you don’t read like I do. That is, I hope you don’t put like, say, 10 books on your Christmas list, get them and then find yourself reading furiously come October to finish up those books so you can justify putting more on your next Christmas list. Stop your laughing. 10 Books?!? How [...]
If it becomes what I’ve already imagined it is in my head, then Garden State will be the catastrophic turning point in my life where I drop everything to chase a dream I would never allow myself to believe existed. Or maybe I will realize that Zach Braff has already written the story that I [...]
It’s getting pretty close to August now and it’d be an understatement to say that July hasn’t brought quite the productivity that May and June did. Some of it has been slackness on my part, but honestly there’s been a lot of stuff that was sort of out of my control. I lit a fire [...]
I heard a rumor from Bart via D-Ray that JELL-O Pudding Pops were back. I promise I didn’t go to the grocery store for the sole purpose of confirming this rumor (to be honest, I kinda forgot about it), but while I was there I spotted them. They’re co-branded with Popsicle brand popsicles now, but [...]
A little over a week ago my favorite NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., was involved in a crash while practicing for a Le Mans Series race he was participating in during his off weekend. I hadn’t yet heard about the wreck when Eric called. Now, knowing my feelings about the Earnhardts, knowing that I probably [...]

T-Rav: What happened?thedustin: They gave the snitch some money and then shot him in the back as he was leaving.T-Rav: The [...]
On the nights I’m the last one to leave the living room before bed, I like to play a game. The game involves strategy, a sharp mind, and uncanny senses. I call this game “Hit the Middle”. Here’s the setup. Before bed, I usually get a glass of water, collect my things and head for [...]
“Son, I met your mother at the gym, where I taught her the intricicies of the lat pull-down” Today I witnessed my first ever weight-room hook up. I know there are probably millions of happy couples out there that met at the gym, but this is the first I’ve ever witnessed, and it was very [...]
Dan’s back. In other news, I sorta wanted to unveil this with a little more fanfare and after some renovating. But it’s probably best left in all of it’s rawness. Yes, I’m opening the vault and releasing the original thedustin.com. Also, in pieces, I will release the oldest archives which I hope to eventually transfer [...]
In the wake of this breaking news (ok, breaking this morning) about Edwards being picked as Kerry’s running mate, only one question remains … what the heck is Dan doing that is keeping him from getting to a computer to write about this? Is he tongue-tied? Is he speechless (Dan – speechless? Ha!)? Dan, where [...]
