Jerks of the Week: March 21, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Random Pictures on My Phone My girlfriend and I went out to celebrate her final day at a job she held for a long time, but didn’t like very much. The restaurant we went to was none other than Nifty Fifty’s, a 50s-style burgers-and-shakes…

Jerks of the Week: March 14, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Meshack and Marco Manilla It’s hard to believe that I spent half of my life without Facebook. I couldn’t imagine existing without it right now.

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 8, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Macaroni’s With my mom’s birthday approaching in late January, I was concerned. My family’s choice in restaurants is, well, interesting to say the least. I’ll never forget my experience at a restaurant back in the fall of 2013. My sister’s birthday was there, but…

Jerks of the Week: Feb. 1, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: McPick 2 My sister and I used to beg my mom to buy us McDonald’s at least once per week when we were kids. And on most occasions, she obliged. You see, I swam when growing up, and practices typically ended around 8, so…

Jerks of the Week: Jan. 25, 2016 JERK OF THE WEEK: Seeing Star Wars I can’t remember who it was, but someone on Facebook was shocked that I didn’t see the new Star Wars movie prior to New Year’s Eve. Apparently, this individual doesn’t know me very well. I love Star Wars as much as…
