  • “I’m an Idiot”, or “The One That Got Away”

    Hi. I’m an idiot. And I get reminded of it often. But every once in a while, the reminder is so explosive that I just cannot help but to reexamine exactly what went wrong. I guess it was 1999 (which seems like an eternity ago – heck, it was nearly a quarter of my lifetime…

  • Update 08.16.06

    I don’t have much on my mind right now. Actually, that’s not true – I have tons on my mind right now, but the limited ability to express such things in words at this time. So instead of just posting another “Mr Clean” photoshop, I figured I would kill a few birds with one post.…

  • Design Decision Complete

    When I last left off in my Credit Card Design post, I had a majority vote for design #4, but I was still leaning towards #5. I asked my brother why his preference was for #4 and he said that the crease in the sheet music wasn’t as apparent as it was in #5. I…

  • Mr. Clean, Part 2

    I’ve already done the Mr. Clean thing. But at the request of 1 friend who suggested I create it (Nate), and another who suggested I post it on Yarshblog (Shorty), I give you an updated, 5-minute photoshop of Mr. Clean with an Afro. /end [tags]Yarsh, Mr. Clean, Photoshop[/tags]

  • Remedy, Part 2: Resolution

    In Remedy Part 1, we find that music makes a Yarsh better when things go wrong. It turns out that a “fixed1” Yarshmobile makes a Yarsh better too. Friday, I received word that the car was fixed, and I went down to the shop with Randall. We hung out with Bob for a while and…

  • Remedy, Part 1

    Music makes me feel good. Writing and playing it, even more so. Although I didn’t play much tonight to make me feel better about my day, I did resort to old faithful – Dream Theater DVD’s. I popped in Metropolis 2000: Live Scenes from New York. Immediately, I felt soothed. I had nearly forgotten how…

  • I feel a healin’ comin’ on!

    Ok, I am in need of a healin’… This day is already off to a lousy start. I noticed last night that my clutch pedal was begining to become loose, but I didn’t have trouble getting home or anything. I made a mental note to check the fluid resovoir to see if it was low…

  • Yarsh – always willing to help those less fortunate

    The other day, I gave some advice to a friend in need. He was having trouble understanding why his heart got ripped out of his chest by the girl who he was dating for nearly a year. It’s not often that I get a chance to give such advice, especially considering my current relationship status…

  • Home on the Range

    Last week, Mark and I went to the Scottsdale Gun Club with one of his friends. I didn’t bring my gun with me, so I rented one. The NightHawk Enforcer .45 was recommended, so I tried it. Why not, it happens to be a $2000 handgun. The only thing that concerned me was that the…

  • My decision making skills seem to be lacking…

    I came home from work today and found an invitation in my email box. The invitation was to create my own image for my personal Capital One card. They now have this thing where you can upload an image and submit it to them to put on the front of your credit card, and the…
