Table of Contents

The posts I have written for my primary site, Sheepshead and Other Stories, have been broken into 19 categories. The links to those posts are each within a post on this site. Here is a break down of the categories and links to the specific posts.

9-to-5 - Have to earn a paycheck, right? I love my job and sometimes I will write about my day at work. These posts have increased in frequency since I was promoted to a management position.

Apartment Living - Stories about my living arrangements and former roommates.

Back to School - I am going back to school online.

Car Talk - Automotive adventures. (Not updated frequently.)

Creepy Crawlies - I don't like bugs. Why do they come near me? (Infrequent postings.)

Dark Tower Obsession - I like to read, but I mainly read Stephen King. The Dark Tower series is completed and these posts are about my experience waiting for and reading the stories. (Not many posts.)

Dating 101 - I am inept at dating. All my past relationships (and the one I'm working on) are completely humorous.

Family Life - Stories of my mom, my dad, my extended family, and our family pets. My mom is crazy. Consider yourself warned.

Going to the Movies - My thoughts about some different movies.

Growing Up - Stories from my youth. Some stories are just from the past and I look at them as a way to grow and mature.

Human Rights - I believe all humans are created equal and deserve the same basic rights. Sometimes I get angry at discrimination and oppression. Also, I put some of my political views here. (Not too many posts.)

In the Spotlight - Karaoke is a large part of my life. I go every week with DM and we have many adventures. (Updated often.)

It's the Portie Way, You Know - DM and I travel to Portugal to meet Johnny IRL

Lyrically Inclined - I love music and I will use song lyrics in posts or sometimes just talk about songs I like.

MEMEs and Quizzes - Internet quizzes and surveys.

Photo Op - I love to take pictures and scrapbook. This category includes links to pictures I've taken with my digital camera. (Rarely updated.)

Pool Hall Junkies - In my "younger" days, I was a regular at a pool hall. It was a way for me to try and be a "rebel". It didn't work and I no longer hang out there.

Sheepsheadian Files - This is the category for things that are not easily categorized or referenced.

Support Group - It's all about friendship. I have the best friends I could ever want.

T.V. and Me - I don't watch much T.V. This is why.
