Brad vs. not quite being on the pulse of pop culture
I was more than a bit surprised to see a poster very similar to this put up in the school cafeteria just last week. Maybe Chris Brown, in the light of the whole viscous girlfriend-battering thing, right now isn't quite the right choice to tell our kids they should drink milk.
Seriously, un-fucking-believable.
I assumed someone would realize this ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. retarded textbooks
College professors of the world:
I've had my issues with you before. I've rolled my eyes at your typo-filled tests and syllabi. I've groaned when you told me for the 1000000th time you don't have a TV. I've endured your partisan ranting and raving and put-downs of ideas different from your own. I've sat through hour after hour of mind-numbing, soul- ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. breakfast mishaps
A little background for this story. I had a check-up at the doctor in early December because Cortland wants proof its incoming students aren't going to drop dead or something. And while I'm not going to die soon, it wasn't a good visit. I really hadn't been very healthy in the second half of 2008. I wasn't exercising. I wasn't eating well. I was ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. heartbreak, really awkward vacations
So I'm single again.
Breakups are hard. Especially after a multi-year relationship. Especially when it wasn't your idea to break it off. And especially especially when you have to take a vacation to Florida with the ex immediately after the break-up! (I'd already paid for tickets and whatnot, and already said I'd help drive.)
So yeah, that wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. the lumberjack look
So I've been lazy in regards to shaving lately, and as such I am growing quite a scruffy beard. I look like, well, you can use any cliched beard expression you want (hobo, lumberjack, Unabomber, etc.). It looks terrible. Just god-awful. I'd post a picture, but I don't want any photo evidence ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. a lack of....something
So I haven't posted in a while. I also haven't written anything at all in a while. It's weird. I've always enjoyed writing, but over the past few months I've been in a complete rut creatively (as well as in everything else). I've gone to work, gone to practice (I coached junior high soccer and basketball at Candor this fall), and went to see my ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. stupid sweet drinks OR Brad vs. his own issues with tasty treats
Just to reinforce a point from Dan's post from the other day - which, if you don't care to read it, resulted in a discussion about how everyone from the South loves sweet tea, sweet water, sweet V8 and any other drink that shouldn't be sweetened. Here's a map of diabetes prevalence

Brad vs. sexism in sports, life
First, a disclaimer: I don't really watch the WNBA. There's nothing wrong with that. Heck, I don't watch all that much of the NBA.
So, even though I'm not really a "fan" of the WNBA, it doesn't mean I can't get slightly confused/upset with the reaction to the fact that Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks became the second woman ever to dunk in ( Read more... ) -
Brad vs. Driving
You know what's better than driving to Rochester and back? Driving to Rochester and back twice in one week!
Things I hate:
Lacrosse
RIT
Snow
That is all. -
Brad vs. Colossal Fucking Wastes of Time & Fucking Infringements on Right to Free Speech
The first time I read this, a goofy story about a town becoming a "no-cuss" zone, I was slightly amused. It was just a weird little story about some nerdy teenager who decided swearing was a naughty thing and somehow got his town to make swearing "illegal." (Though I'm not actually sure what, if any, punishment there is for breaking this "law.")
