“That was not just a bunch of stuff that got destroyed, it was ME!”

(Sorry this a bit of an afterthought,seeing everything is sold except for the stool, I'm a lazy blogger)

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time."

If for a second you're thinking I'm copying an IKEA catalog, you're wrong, it's Fight Club dude. 1999 man, it was another 2-3 years before I even heard about this thing called IKEA. Another 1-2 years before my smoking hot wife and I filled our first apartment with their cheap particle board whatnot.

When was this layout original and fresh? Am I fresh?

Anyways, I like it. The folks on Craigslist couldn't get enough, got a bunch of replies just for the pictures.

"Only after disaster can we be resurrected."

"Hey, you created me. I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!"

I might of been obsessed with everything Chuck Palahniuk back in the day. good times.

I will definitely be offering this again, think about it, maybe even posting a whole room on Craigslist. The possibilities...

BackGarage's Etsy shop has been off the chain of late. I strongly recommend you check it out.

The good stuff moves fast, like this vintage Don Post Studios werewolf mask.

I've already put it to some good use. here. here.

Was last night the foggiest night ever in Chicago?

Maybe? Maybe not? How the heck would I know?

Dad are you selling my toys?

Whenever I head into the kids room and grab some toys my oldest gets suspicious because I may or may not have sold a couple of her Fisher-Price toys at some point. I mean, who’s keeping track of all these toys?

Today her and her sister picked the lock on their door (j/k) and came out wondering what I was doing with her computer and dolly. Only props my dear…so far.

A bit of a picture overload but if you have a beating heart in your chest you’ll find one you just love. I think I might include one with Lucy (the youngest) in the Etsy listing, if all goes over well this might be the beginning of some sort of Etsy stage-parenting disaster.

Update: Here's the listing

This past summer Jayson and I took our familys to Jayson's family farm for a couple days of marksmanship, beers, no cellphone reception, and complete total relaxation. I took many pictures of the farm, which came into his family in 1863 during the height of the American Civil War. I always thought it would be quite cool to add some age into the pictures to match the history of the location.

Here is my first try. It's no Civil War era pic but maybe 1960's.
