Sleeping Beauty?
About two years ago Brittany came up with the idea of taking pictures of me while I slept. This turned from a funny, little prank into an occasion that happens a lot.
I believe it all started when she decided that she was going to tattoo my face while I slept one night. Yes, tattooed. She took a Fudgy the Whale tattoo and managed to get it onto my forehead and make it stick while I slept. I...
so... tired...
Hey guys,
In the last 36 hours, I’ve had a conference call, two constiuent meetings, three flights, two 100+ mile drives, a fundraising event, several glasses of wine (at the fundraiser), and zero hours of sleep.
So… um, yeah. My post. Um…
Oh! So, there’s this Buddhist monk. He goes to a hotdog vendor, and the vendor says, “What do you want?”
The monk...

Wizard Staffs
Senior week is a magical time (haha “magical.” Oh wait I just started. You don’t know what I’m talking about yet. Come back to this at the end and you’ll get it.) in college between Finals Week and Graduation when Seniors stay on campus and do… well pretty much whatever they please. At my college that included jumping in the Hudson River, going on a booze...

Best Job Ever?
For the majority of my time at college I had the same job. Now that I no longer do that job I found out how sought after seniors are for on-campus jobs: they’re not. Every department wants to train freshmen and hold onto them for four years. Not-so-long-story made even shorter, I now work at our polling center calling strangers across the country. I ask them questions and they yell at me...

Dropping the Cosby's off at the pool.
In previous posts I have discussed how men and women are different. We are worlds apart in some respects. This is why we have separate bathrooms. The proper etiquette that takes place in a men’s room vs a woman’s room is not nearly the same. Men have certain unspoken rules when it comes to the bathroom that we all know and follow.
Rule #1: There is absolutely no talking in the...
Awkward Phobias
You all know someone who has a phobia. It could be a phobia of heights or maybe a phobia of being lonely. A lot of people have fears but they’re not the same as phobias.
I personally have a phobia of clowns. They scare the crap out of me. I find everything aspect of them creepy. Their face, their laugh, their smile….it’s all scary. Brittany has even said she would like to tie me...

If Indiana Jones Negotiated the Same Way Dad Plays...
[Scene: Interior, an ancient temple deep in the Amazon. Running from a giant boulder, INDIANA JONES leaps across a pit, just barely managing to grab the other side.]
SATIPO: Throw me the idol. No time to argue! Throw me the idol, and I’ll throw you the whip!
INDIANA JONES: Hang on, hang on. I just picked up the idol myself, and I need a moment to think about what I want to do with it. ...

Brilliant Idea #1: The Thinking Shower
Where do we all get our best ideas? In the shower. But in today’s day and age we worry about things like the ecosystem, saving animals, and crap like that. So for my first installment of Brilliant Ideas I will share this gem I came up with while I was in the shower: I call it, The Thinking Shower!
We all like to stand around in the shower until the hot water is gone, but did you know the...

Molly and I accompanied my Mom to Sunken Meadow State Park a few years back when she went to pick up the state park sticker for our car. In the office I saw pamphlets on wild animal safety. The cover had a cute little raccoon illustration that I replaced with a picture of Molly we had and the following was born:
I handed them out to my family to educate them on...
Give Them A Chance, They'll Grow on You!
This right here is a beautiful mustache. Brittany and I have grown fond of interesting and intense beards/ mustaches. Just embrace this stache’s glorious style. If you are avid gallaghr follower, you would have seen an earlier posting from me in late November with pictures of me and Brittany in mustaches. Now you understand.
A couple months ago Brittany discovered that The World Beard...

Fightin' Words
Hey guys,
You all know I like to argue. Partially, I enjoy it because it’s fun, but I also think that debate is a good way to test ideas, to see if rough-hewn thoughts can be polished into something approaching truth.
Like carving a sculpture, a truthful argument can be formed by whittling away what is false. Often, these false components fall into categories called “fallacies.” Today, I want...
therapeyes asked: Lovin' ALL of this, guys!! Today my favorites are winter haikus and Claddaghs.

The Walking Dead
Recently AMC aired their miniseries “The Walking Dead” and I personally was glued to my TV each Sunday night. Usually my Dad was watching it too, as well as a good number of my friends (except in their respective homes…. with their respective dads… maybe… respectively). Anywho, I thoroughly enjoyed the show!
But did you know the show was base off a comic book...

Tomorrow’s my birthday – I’ll be 22. While out shoveling the lovely 20 inches of snow we got today, we were talking about all the stuff that happened during the year.
First off, I turned 21. And it was AWESOME. Yay to being able to legally consume alcohol!
Last semester we liked throwing cheesy themed parties that really had only two components: forcing you to dress up and lots of alcohol. One...
Post Secret
A few years ago I learned about Post Secret. Basically, people write down their darkest secrets on a post card and mail them to a man named Frank Warren. Warren then published these anonymous secrets in books.
At first I thought it was stupid because the secrets were anonymous…where’s the fun in that? Then I realized that that was the fun of it. People could send in anything they...

Happy New Year!
I came across a fun little site the other day and thought it was perfect timing as the new year causes people to make resolutions, bringing out the best intentions in people and then bringing out the lazy give up attitude a week or so later. The Idea Swap gives you the opportunity to share an idea with the world and in return, get an idea back.
I swapped my idea of using baby powder to take the...
The Manly Notebook.
So I was going to do a post about Steve Jordan, the infamous drummer whose funky beats I worship so very much, when I came home and started watching The Notebook on ABC Family. Yes, The Notebook.
Now, I like to consider myself something of a man’s man ladies man with the capacity to get in touch with my feminine side. I consider The Notebook to be a great movie. People tend to find...
