I arrived into work today to find the first of many April Fool’s jokes in the office and around the net. However, little did I realize that it was in fact April Fools. The company dress code at work is pretty relaxed. We can wear shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops, etc. As I sat down to read [...]
Many of you know how much I enjoy television. So much so that the recent writers strike left me with quite a few gaps in my usually calm evenings spent in front of the tube. Granted, it was a much needed and appreciated break, but I am glad the strike is finally over. TV Guide [...]
You’re in the right spot if you were looking for Twistedsideways. It’s that time again where I get bored with the style and layout of my blog and give it a face lift. I haven’t really been digging my previous blog format for awhile and I have been looking for some new themes and ideas [...]

I called one of my brothers last night and realized that neither one of us has begun our Christmas shopping. Typical for most guys I hear. And honestly, I can’t believe it hasn’t crossed my mind yet. I don’t even know what to get my parents. My brothers and I decided that we would forgo [...]
I’m thinking of throwing a sushi party with a twist and I have no idea where to start. I’m looking to hire a sushi chef to come to my house during the ordeal and basically make the sushi in front of the guests while we are all there. You know, invite a few close friends [...]
