As a single guy, I’m always drawn to reading the funny articles on dating. My homepage is MSN, and it seems like they always have something about dating. Sometimes it’s something like first date ideas, or the ever popular “What she wishes you knew.” Are they supposed to be serious? Probably. Does anyone take them [...]

Winning
Posted: 30th May 2012 by Aaron Hagen in UncategorizedTags: blackjack, gambling, michael brauer
I’m not a gambler. I never have been. I don’t know that I ever will be. I can usually think of a lot of other things I’d like to do rather than gamble. Maybe it’s because I don’t live close to a casino. Or maybe it’s because I’m poor. But either way, it’s just not [...]
Confidence. We all want it. But how do you get it? That’s the question. It’s a great thing when you have it. But when you don’t, it can be disasterous. And I believe that goes for anything in life. It can affect you at work. Or at play. Being a sports guy, I think confidence [...]
A day to remember and honor

It’s Memorial Day. The day to remember those who have served our country — and those who continue to serve. It’s a special day for me this year. My cousin and his wife are serving in Afghanistan. My cousin has been in the Army for a few years. But this is the first time he’s [...]
What a great problem to have

In no way am I complaining. But I’m bored. And it’s only 1 p.m. With the way things work at the Daily Globe, I was awarded a day off today. (Yes, it’s kind of like winning the lottery) Because I worked last weekend, I am allowed to take a day off during the week. I [...]
Try doing it yourself?

I got home from work on Sunday night and I looked in the mirror. I knew almost immediately that was a mistake. It wasn’t because I didn’t look beautiful — I was dashing in my gray Kansas City Royals t-shirt. But it was my hair. Yes, there seems to be less and less on my [...]
It is what you make it

I always tell people the same thing. Worthington is what you make of it. If you sit at home and do nothing, this town is going to make you miserable. If you go out, make friends and have a good time, Worthington is pretty awesome. Most of the time, people just kind of look at [...]
Happy Mother’s Week

I know it’s a little late to post about Mother’s Day. But is it ever too late to talk about your mother? (The answer is no.) Plus, since my mother’s birthday is on Friday, I feel like I can celebrate my mother all week long. Let me first start by apologizing to her. She had [...]
Where have I gone?

The answer: In short, everywhere. Friday was a pretty crazy day. It seemed like everything that could happen, did. It did, however, give me an opportunity to step outside my comfort zone a little bit. I had the chance to talk with (gasp) politicians. There will be more on that in this blog later this [...]
A blogging hiatus
Posted: 11th May 2012 by Aaron Hagen in UncategorizedTags: blog, hiatus, legislators, stadium, vikings
Well, not much on the blog front this morning/afternoon. Don’t worry, I haven’t run out of things to talk about. I’m still convinced that won’t happen. But instead, my focus today is going in another direction. I reached out to our local legislators to get their thoughts on the last few days of the session. [...]
