How to Be Happy. Always.
Ok folks… I’m gonna break it down for you Dr. Phil style today, and talk about happiness. Now, first of all – I don’t see why happiness is always priority number one. “Do whatever makes you happy”, they say. “Yeah, but is she HAPPY?”. Who says this is the holy grail? Personally, I think giving…

How I Became a Professional Gambler
I had never gambled before and knew nothing about it, but I’d gotten too many e-mails like it. I was at my parents house for winter break during my first year at UT, and I was bored. “Free $50 just for downloading our casino!” Hmm. That doesn’t seem very risky. I might as well download…

Tynan Goes to School
Where can you find me at 2pm on a Thursday? If you guessed by the pool being fed peeled grapes by the Swedish bikini team, you’ll be surprised to hear that you’re wrong. No, really. You’re wrong… At least this Thursday. Actually, my friend Hayden.. WAIT… this is an important but totally unrelated sidenote :…

Tynan to Rock the Olympics
I think it’s pretty obvious that out of the many olympic games, only one is the true king. I wouldn’t even mention it, since I’m sure we’re all in agreement here, but I’m feeling crazy, so let me put it out there : Curling. What a sweet sport. I’m not all that into sports usually…

I don’t really like writing short updates, but there are too many little things going on to write separate posts. First, I’ve designed some cool t-shirts, hats, and other items to facilitate displaying of BtyB pride.

Trogdor the Ropefish Goes Crazy
A few months ago a friend of mine moved to Vegas. He had a really sweet fish tank that he couldn’t take with him, so he gave it to me. I got really into it, of course. The only problem was that the fish kept dying. Here’s the graveyard : 1. The cutest little red…

The Secrets of Buying
I’ve long considered myself a fantastic buyer. Notice I don’t say shopper – that alludes to a hobby or form of entertainment. To me, buying is serious business. Even before I had any serious degree of financial success, many people assumed I was rich because of my material posessions. I guess most people could pull…

Going Raw
I used to walk into McDonalds and often times I wouldn’t be charged for my food. Why? Because I went there so frequently and brought so many friends, that they knew I was good for business. My favorite meal was the Fishwich, a mighty sandwich made with a bun, american cheese, a deep fried fish…
