When I started getting ready to write this I had no idea that it would be as hard as it has been. I started with the list and then came back up to write this intro piece. The list is one of the hardest things that I’ve tried to write in a long, long time. […]
Some days are easier than others. We all know that. We’ve been there. It’s what we do on those days that make us who we are. Starting at the New Year I started preaching that 2011 was going to be the year of Awesome. It’s in my Twitter stream daily. My current BBM status is […]
There are 2 times a year when we’re allowed to ask for whatever we want – Christmas and our birthday. With that in mind I’ve started making my 29th bday wish list… I expect to receive nothing – so any yeses will blow me away – let’s get started! -Drinks with everyone awesome in Toronto […]
What follows is a sample from the novel that I started writing in the fall of 2005 – I’m 50,000 words in and they are all online here – “Well I’m done. And everyone else better hurry up, because I’m getting a McCraving.” Everyone looks over at Ethan. “You know that we missed breakfast.” I […]
Friday is here again – it’s time to rejoice! It’s been a heck of a week I tell ya. We were threatened that the biggest snow storm in the history of anything we could remember. I started writing samples for new projects as well as sports stuff for fanshots. Hit up karaoke and rocked some […]
I dream. A lot. Some of them are silly. Some of them may seem unattainable. Some are lame. But they are all mine. And as I’m sitting here today drinking coffee #3 at 11:30 in the morning I’m thinking about them. So, in no particular order, here are some of the things that I dream […]
When I was 5 years old I fell in love for the very first time. I don’t remember exactly how it started, probably with a small crush and then as the exposure grew and we spent more time together things blossomed and things became much more serious. No, I’m not talking about the little girl […]
A while ago (sometime before Christmas I think) the regular karaoke crew was at Tequila Sunrise on a Tuesday night celebrating life and booze and each other when I decided to get up and sing a song that I hadn’t done in quite a while. If I remember correctly I gave the folks at the […]
The other night I tweeted “You are my sunshine when skies are grey” and got a couple of responses with other lyrics to the song that we all know. Then I got to thinking. The song is about 1 person. The love of the singer’s life. But when I thought about it more in terms […]
This weekend I did something that I hadn’t done in years. I was excited. I was nervous. I was hyped. It felt just like it did when I was a kid. Saturday afternoon I strapped on a pair of skates and hit the ice on the pond at my parent’s place for the first time […]
Just a few minutes ago a friend sent me a text message with an idea for a post. Here’s how the exchange went… Friend: Why not talk about women and sports? Friend: The type of women who likes them… And how to include your girlfriend in your viewing experiences at home Friend: Because I have […]
I’m not generally one for resolutions because they don’t usually pan out the way I had planned… and then I feel bad about it and then I feel bad about myself. So eff that. Instead, there are some things that I’d like to try to do as much as possible in 2011. There are going […]
Good morning kids. It’s been a while since I’ve been around with new content. For that I’m sorry. I’ve been pounding away at the keyboard for the work thing a lot. And while I know that’s not an excuse, there really hasn’t been much else in the bloggable realm of life that I’ve been dying […]
Now that I’m not a kid anymore (I know, I had to face it) I’ve started to notice new things in my life. Grown up stuff. I’m not talking about rent or bills or a job with benefits or anything like that. There are other things that have made me realise it. Things that I […]
I never write pieces like this, the ones just because of something that I found on the interweb – but I found an easy tie in for this one so I really had no choice! It’s almost Halloween suckers! This great Emo Superman piece was tweeted by @MichaelNus and got me to thinking about awesome […]
