So it’s probably pretty clear that my new job has taken all that fun filled blog writing spare time and eaten right on up. No complaints from me – though I do miss the personal writing aspect. On the bright side, I am writing every day for this job. I get to be creative, so [...]

Last night, after a full 2 months and 2 weeks in New York I finally accepted a job. To say that I am relieved, delighted, ecstatic and freaking psyched would be a woeful understatement for what I’m experiencing right now. I have never in my life felt I earned something like I did this. I [...]

A few weeks ago my best friend Kel visited. It was great fun – lots of delicious food and tea and conversation, all par for the course with Kelly. During one of our lengthy discussions she revealed one of New York’s mysteries that I hadn’t yet really addressed. (travesty!!) Somehow though, I have been working [...]

After what seemed like an eternity of being sick I’m finally back to my good old able-bodied self and I simply could not be happier about it. This weekend was filled with absolutely no plans whatsoever and let me tell you, I could get used to that. I think it may have been the first [...]

Last night I got to see NOFX at the Irving Plaza which may well be my favorite venue in NY so far. I mean the Grand Ballroom was just that, quite grand, and there is a time and a place for mosaic tiling and sweeping buttresses. But there’s something gritty and real and wonderful about [...]

About a year and a half ago I had one of those milestone achievements in my life. Yes, for a single day I was, in the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, kind of a big deal. Actually, it was just my graduation from college and really, the only things that make it stick out from [...]

Today a good friend of mine mentioned that he’s thinking of starting a blog. My immediate response was to clasp my hands together with joy and tell him how awesome of an idea I found it. Immediately I envisioned adding him to my rss reader and happily anticipating updates. It’s interesting I think because at [...]

Holy cow I am sick. Like old school little kid kind of sick, where I just want to lie on the couch and watch VHS tapes of Transformers while I fill my trash bag with icky puffs plus. My coughing accompanied by the stolid commentary of a Dinobot. “Me Grimlock no like you, me Grimlock [...]

I am reminded of a scene from the old 80′s favorite Parenthood when I think of current events in my life. No, not because of anything involving the children element, though I am visiting my brand new shiny godson in Fredricksburg next weekend, but that’s kind of besides the point. It’s more that scene from [...]
