Winter 2007

In the winter of 2007, lots of stuff was happening. I was planning on going to graduate school, but then didn’t. I was doing some pretty hardcore training at the YMCA, getting back into shape after my first time in the boot – and I thought I was going to be a runner again, you [...]

Fall to 2006

I just spent the last few days updating the old best of posts, knowing that the links were now all broken. I am now over two years behind – whatever I’ve written is new to me! That’s actually not true. I remember everything. But you could imagine why it might be true. It’s true in [...]

Summer 2006

I need something mindless to do. I need to bump the previous post off the top of the page. I need to read old stuff and get some perspective. So, without further ado, here’s the best of the summer of 2006! On July 7th, 2006 I started to visualize people as comets of odor hurling [...]

Spring of 2006

The spring of 2006 was definitely decent – I didn’t link some posts that were worth reading again, and still ended up with a big list. In the end, while I was able to concoct something to do for tomorrow night, I have ended up trapped in a house that wreaks of polyurethane tonight. These [...]

Doldrums

The beginning of 2006 was depressingly poor from a writing standpoint. It was also depressing to read about what good shape I was in then. That was my last real bread and butter year for running. I was crippled by August of that year. On January 16, 2006, I dreamt that former roommate Matt Lautzenheifer [...]

End of 2005

I have to wait before I do these, for posterity’s sake, you know. Anyway, November and December, in particular, were very productive writing times. They also corresponded to a time of both angst and stress. Now I’m just disillusioned – one writes better when acute drama accompanies said disillusionment. You’ll find more of these compilations [...]

It’s Best_of Time!

A few months ago, after revolutionizing the display of this website, I began the spasmodic output of “best_of” posts, cataloging clever things from my past. The reasoning was two fold. First, I wasn’t planning on writing as often. I haven’t, though it’s probably only about a 25% reduction. Second, I wasn’t writing anything worthwhile, planting [...]

Like It Was Yesterday, Spring 2005

This was boring to read, as I remembered too many of the posts. As a result, this is the last best_of block for a while, probably something like a year. Could that mean I’ll start posting again? Perhaps. On April 2nd, 2005, Michael and I did not douse a handicapped man with frigid water. We [...]

Winter of My Discontent, 2005

January to March of aught-5 were highlighted by an abysmal period of controversy, and not a whole lot else. On January 10th, 2005, I gave my opinion about homeschooling, leading to a year long falling out with 50% of all Cunningham sisters. On January 11th, 2005, Ben “Nancyboy” McCoy retired from work and I put [...]

Fall 2004, Beginning of Modern Era

Despite being in a sour mood all day, I just had a tremendous time reading the last Fall 2004 archives. They might be the best yet. In other news, my spelling is occasionally atrocious, just atrocious. I now have a spell checker plugin for Firefox, so things should be getting better. On October 4th, 2004, [...]

Summer of Our Lives, 2004

July and August are worth reading. September is 90% about hurricanes. STORMWATCH 2004! It was a good year for watching storms. On July 6th, 2004, I summarized our family vacation to Washington with pictures. On July 8th, 2004, I wore the same tan cowhide shirt as cow, and was anti-climatic about it. On July 9th, [...]

Spring 2004, Allergens were in the Air

April and May were good. June, not so much. On April 11th, 2004, I thought about butter more than most people. On April 18th, 2004, my family had a comedy of errors in North Carolina. On April 19th, 2004, I decided that a large portion of women draw their eyebrows with magic markers. On April [...]

Winter, 2004

I think it’s good that I’m ending this site, because this stuff was pretty unspectacular. I hope that I have been better than this recently. On January 22nd, 2004, I thought about Gumby. It’s been a slow month so far. On January 23rd, 2004, I moved back into my apartment. On February 3rd, 2004, I [...]

Here, Chew On This

This is my last of pre-fab built up “best_of” entries. I need to catch back up on them. You see, this is the problem: obligation. To my legions of adoring fans, to some version of Eric Furst of yore, to the necessity to do a “good job” at everything where good jobs in blogging entail [...]

New Life, Summer 2003

After a noteworthy three months from April through June, I took a downturn while living by myself and doing almost nothing from July to September. Things were much more simple then though. On July 7th, 2003, I thought that commercials involving old people were very funny. On July 14th, 2003, I redefined the nuclear family. [...]

Peak Season, Spring 2003

I’ll be honest, I laughed outloud at myself about 7 times reading these three months. Half of them I didn’t even post as links. I was a funny guy at the end of college and beginning of real life. It is said real life which has stiffled me. On April 6th, 2003, I watched an [...]

The Middle Of Winter, 2003

Now that I’m in full legacy mode, it’s time to start cranking out “best of” posts. Yes, I realize my commentary on this will seem out of place, given how this is released to the website. No, I don’t know how this will be released to the website. Yes, I do have a job. Yes, [...]

Forward the Foundation

As the 10,000th visitor looms on the horizon, I will be probably finishing these worthless “bestof” posts in the near future. We have now entered the bigwhoop era of words, and I’ll do the first 3 months right now. 10/5/02 Internet advertisements target the dumb. 10/6/02 An internet survey suggests that I may be insane, [...]

The Great Transition

Last week, I posted the Best Of-Second 6 Months. Here, without further ado, is the Best Of-Third 6 Months. Summaries of included entries: 4/17/02 – I have a dream about magnetic cookies used for herpes treatment. 5/28/02 – Some words should not be repeated. 7/2/02 – Andy’s mom is responsible for the speech-writing of the [...]

Summary of Nothing

Last week, I posted the Best Of-Second 6 Months Summaries of included entries: 12/20/01 – Mall employee doesn’t realize that Perfumania is not a high class establishment. 12/23/01 – Laughing uncontrollably at church and weddings. 1/1/02 – Grandfather collection unvieled. 1/20/02 – I give myself a lobotomy. 3/9/02 – We have terrible meal in Sullivan [...]

Remember a Day

A few weeks ago, furst.bigwhoop.org celebrated it’s 1st year anniversery. On the 19th of October, my web journaling career reached the two and a half year mark. As a result, I am going to try to make a few “best of” lists in the next few weeks. This entails me intentionally butting heads with Matt’s [...]
