Trent's Blog

I was bored yesterday so I took a picture of my doorknob.

Posting via Sidekick again. I’m following Michelle around the grocery store. We’re getting dinner for tonight and meals for tomorrow. I actually get to have pizza rolls and watch Cops and America’s Most Wanted. It’s my guilty pleasure of a way to spend a Saturday evening but I haven’t been able to indulge lately with…

20:26 Hello. I’m wandering through the grocery store behind michelle. We just left the hospital (research medical center) where we were visiting brandon. He got stabbed twice at a party last night at his girlfriends apartment. He turns 21 next week. His brother scott got stabbed last year at a party out in Blue Springs.…

Howdy y’all. It’s lunch time, and I’m going to be heading out to McDonald’s to get a Cobb salad here in a minute. Lately, I’ve been eating a lot of quarter pounders and I’ve gained 10 pounds in the last month, so it’s time to switch back to salads. I’m sitting here in my newly…

Sitting in the dugout at Jacob’s baseball game. We’re winning 1-0 after 1 inning. We haven’t practiced in 2 months since the summer league’s season ended so they are doing better than expected. We left our kitchen remodelers in the house while we came out here. I’m looking forward to having our sink, dishwasher, and…

I’ve also been reading some memetic analysis of Christian fundamentalism. For those of you who don’t know what memetics is, it is the study of the transmission and…

I am forever sitting in parking lots while women shop. Today I am in the lot of the Harry Hines Trading Company. Jacob is asleep in the backseat while Jill and Michelle are inside. Jake’s team, the Gorillas, had a baseball game this morning that they lost 11-3. They had a game last night too…

Willkommen to another day in the life of Trent. Sitting in the parking lot of the Price Chopper this time. Michelle and the kids are inside getting stuff to take over to her mom’s house tomorrow. We’re having a little get together for the holiday and to celebrate my brother-in-law Joe’s birthday. So I’m sitting…

Hola. I’m sitting in the Walmart parking lot smoking a Swisher Sweet woodtip. Today was the kids’ last day of school. I remember how much fun the summer months were for me when I was their age. Walking to the convenience store to play pinball and buy a glass bottle of Dr. Pepper… Going swimming…

Good evening. It’s been a long, boring week of work, and I’m glad it’s over. Unfortunately, I’m on call so I’ll probably end up getting paged at least once this weekend. I guess that’s the price I pay for getting to work from home. Well, it’s been over two months since my last blog entry…
