Happy Birthday Mom.... plus one week!
Last week was my Mom’s Bday! With the Chi-Town trip, getting caught back up on school work, and getting sick in the middle of all of that I haven’t been able to post a happy birthday to my beautiful mother.
With that said, I am posting a list of the things that make me love being my Mom’s baby boy. Let’s call it, “The 10 Best things about my Mom!”
10. Earaches! No, not the one’s I would give...
What's with famous people, man?
I’ll totally admit it. I acted inappropriately when Rev Run came into the mall a couple months ago. I couldn’t keep my cool. All I wanted to do was go up to him and do the running man while singing “It’s Tricky.” I am still ashamed, to be quite honest.
But then Derek Jeter came in. And I played it so cool. Ice cold, actually.
He came in with his friends, being...
Sweet Home, Chicago
As some of you may know, last weekend JW and I visited my family in Chi-Town. I figured it would be a great time for a reunion of sorts and to see the city and fall colors. My brother KG and my Bestie met us there, coming in from PHX. When we got on the plane in Tampa on Thursday, it was 85 degrees. When we got off the plane in Chicago it was 40 degrees and raining! All weekend long I was...
Help Wilma and Sparky out! Ideas needed!
BG and I need Halloween costume ideas! We want something awesometastic, semi-cheap, and possibly coupled. So, to all 1000+ reads (I rounded down) what should we be? Comment us! Thanks, BG and JW
Does my TA pay me for babysitting?
The past couple of weeks a mother has been leaving her two kids (a 5-year-old boy and 8ish-year-old girl) on the third floor of Psych building while she goes to class. The first time it happened I figured it was a babysitting issue, but it now happens every Tuesday and Thursday for 2 hours. The first night, the two hung out playing with my Turtles (see below a weak version of a TMNT set, I...

Date night drive
About once a month, JW and I have a date night, just to keep the magic alive. :D (JW side note 1: Being with me is magical). Usually it involves dinner and a movie, or a trip to the Florida Aquarium since we are members (JW side note 2: Playing with Penguins = AWESOME!). My favorite part of these dates is when we discover new areas in Tampa, since I’ve only been living here since January. We’ve...
It's tricky...
This blog is my recital, I think it’s very vital
To not scare away, Rev Run next time he wants to buy a latte. It’s Tricky!!
Yep, you heard me. The other day Rev Run and his wife Justine came into the mall where I work and the baristas and I freaked out and were like, OMG it’s Rev Run!! Then, when they were leaving the mall with their freakishly large bodyguard, they...
“Less examples with your girlfriend.”
– What a student wrote in response to “What TA characteristics could be improved?” on my written reviews.
Sorry BG, but I guess I can’t talk about you anymore.

Living With Three Boys...
can be super awesome! I mean, I love watching football, even though this season will be bringing me a lot of heartbreak. And I never have to worry about my roommates being passive-aggressive, slamming cabinets and leaving their crap all over the house. (My senior year of college was a nightmare living with my best friend and two other terrible, immature girls.) However, nothing in life can be...
Best! Participant! Ever!
I wrote a few days ago that my next post was going to be about a really bad participant I had last week. Instead of writing a full post about the community man that does different studies for a living (Yes, you read that right. His “job” is being a participant) I want to share with you another interesting participant. We will call her P-Nerve. Below is our back and forth during the...
We haven't forgot about you!
To all our loyal readers (all 4 or 5 of you) BG and I have not forgot about you. I have been super busy with the start up of school and BG has been working a lot. I am going into school today to do some data analysis, but once I get home I’m writing up a post about a recent horrible participant. Loves and Hugs, -JW
“Just like the mending of an ankle we’re going to get a little bit better...”
– Pro M. C. starting class off today. Classic M. C., classic! This class is by far my most favorite class of the semester.
WatchEveryone remembers their threats to run away, but I don’t think it was ever over bacon.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!
Famous things that happened on September 3rd: 1783 - The Treaty of Paris was signed by the U.S. and Great Britain, officially ending the Revolutionary War. 1902 - T. Roosevelt was riding in his coach when it collided with a trolley car. A Secret Service agent was killed, but Roosevelt escaped with only minor injuries. 1939 - Britain and France declared was on Deutschland. 1943 - The invasion of...
Viva Las Vegas!
Just found out that my poster got accepted to the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) annual conference in Las Vegas. The acceptance is not that exciting (another 1,800+ will also be presenting their work via poster), but the Vegas part is! I love Vegas! Usually I don’t go by the “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” because I love a good story to tell...
Help a Grizzly Bear out! →
As most of the 1,000 people (I rounded up a little) who have viewed this blog know, I am one hairy man. I have waxed my back once and shaved it once. (Side note: When I took off my shirt to get my back waxed the 4 foot 7, 80-pound-soaking-wet, Asian woman said, “Oh! I’m going to have to charge you double.” She then proceeded to giggle while she tortured me for 1 hour and 18...

University of "Not"-re Dame BCS championship...
Louis Leo Holtz, or better know as the lisp speaking, “Not”-re Dame homer, Lou Holtz has picked the Catholics to be in the BCS national championship game. WHAT?!?!?!?!??!?! I don’t even know what to say. If this happens (and if it does, I’m sure the Damers will have rightly earned the spot with a 9-3 record and quality wins against Nevada and both Washington powerhouses)...
“Why do you try to kill me every time you come to my house?”
– TCAS, this morning after a long night. Well said, TCAS, well said.
“Hey BG, I don’t remember what I said that was so hysterical earlier. Can...”

Why JW Caused Me to Become Ageist
A few weeks ago, my *besties* came to visit Tampa and see where JW and I live. On Saturday, we went down to watch Gone With the Wind at the historical Tampa Theatre, which is super awesome. It seemed like a perfect idea since said besties and I love the movie, and JW and our roommate ABJ had never seen it. A month before this, JW, ABJ and I had gone to the same theatre to watch Blazing Saddles,...
Last Night
JW: Let me tell you all a story about my old advisor at ASU... He was at his college orientation hanging out with some new friends he had met, and they were all talking about their backgrounds, sharing histories and where they were from. (JW continues talking for awhile building up the background so that everyone will laugh when he gets to the punch line... Then, right as JW is at the climax of his story...)
TCAS: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can we just get to the point of this f*ing story already?!?!
Best interruption ever!! After that, JW just stormed out of the kitchen. Typical. -BG
Peanut Butter
Ahhhhhhhhh, Peanut Butter! I like… no, LOVE the pasty goodness. It’s like crack to me, once I see it I start to itch, sweat, and lick my lips in anticipation. I’ll eat a whole jar in about 2 days, if not less. In fact, I love it soooo much that BG and I can’t have it in the place (side note: we also can’t have sliced Kraft cheese, but that’s for another blog). So, we’ve kept it out of the...
What happens when rivals fall in love?
A blog full of their crazy antics in the hot, humid, bug infested land of Tampa. This is the first time either of us has ever blogged, so hopefullly we learn fast and can make you giggle along the way.
