Fatherhood
Being a new father and having one the cutest kids in the world, I couldn’t imagine writing this song; even for a laugh. But since Stephen Lynch is way more fucked up than I am and since he is the one who wrote it, not me, I’ll go ahead and pass it along.
Rent-a-Book Program
I was standing in Borders today looking around and the thought came to me, wouldn’t it be great if there was a place you could go and just “rent” a book you wanted to read then bring it back? Like a Blockbuster for books or something like that? Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? […]
Running fast but going nowhere
Well, I took my own advice today as far as a Resolution goes. I got up at the butt-crack of dawn and ran on the treadmill. Actually it was more of a walk with two minutes of running thrown in. Why would I subject myself to this early morning torture? Because I’m getting to the […]
Cracked Back
Well I’ve done it again. No, I’m not talking about another last minute post for a blog that no one reads, I threw out my back again. Was I lifting weights, you ask? Nope. No weights. Practicing Ju-jitsu? No MMA for me. So what then? Drying off my feet. Huh? I got out of the […]

Mainstream famous is where everyone in the general public knows who you are. Internet famous is much more focused; therefore you […]
New Year’s Resolutions
I am all for New Year’s Resolutions, even though I rarely keep them. Another year of promising myself I’ll exercise more and make more time for myself. I have been able to quit drinking, smoking and chewing tobacco but all three of those weren’t for Resolution Reasons. Those were more or less do or die […]
All the people who died, died
This is just a quick list of some people who died this year. The title of this post is from a song Jim Carroll wrote and sang. He also wrote the Basketball Diaries that help launch Leonardo DiCaprio’s career into the stratosphere. Carroll also died, died, this year. 1. Michael Jackson—love’em or hate’em he was […]
A Decade in Reflection
I read many online newsletters. One of my favorite’s is from a man named Yanik Silver. I will say in advance that I don’t buy any of his products, but I do find him interesting. In his last post, Yanik talked about the fact that most of the times people don’t take stock of what […]
