Patrick Jones and Search for the Skull

Not an artifact for a bygone era or a relic of a religion long forgotten, NO! Merely a human skull found in the backyard of a San Rafael resident. Why do I mention this? Well I was sent out with my webcam again to search out the dirt on this story and let the world see the HORROR! ...um... there was no horror. Worse yet, there was no signal. The area I was in had no Sprint service so I couldn't slingcam the whole thing back for the web. So instead I just shot some goods and talked with a press cop about the search.

Now I will admit this video isn't that great. After learning the that I couldn't broadcast I was a little lost production wise with the purpose of my tape... so I shot it as if it would be edited... well it wasn't and you don't really see much here besides my short interview. I have no clue why the audio is whacked up. I am clipped to the max, hmmm... I'll have to take a look at the camera tomorrow when I get to cbs 5. I hope you guys have a fantastic evening.

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery.

Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou...

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go...
