Whatever Happened to Lindsay?

You should be warned that this is in no way funny. For some reason, I haven’t been in the mood this week. Sorry.
So the trailer for the 20th season of The Real World was released recently. Yes, the 20th. And as much as the creator wants to contend that it’s [...]

“The truth is not kind, and you’ve said neither am I.”

I’d love to make this a post that turns a quality song lyric into a discourse on how much of a dick I am.  But there’s actually a totally different intent with this title -  lately I’ve been jonesing for some quality 90’s nostalgia. Yes, I haven’t turned 24 yet and yes, I was [...]

Sometimes Kids Are Funny

This is definitely one of those times.
I had heard rumblings about the Swift Kids and never really got around to watching them. Somehow, today on Huff Po, I stumbled across them and decided I needed to see what was going on. It was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in recent [...]

My Liver Will Never Forgive Me

Note - I apologize for the delay in responding to the glory that is Free Booze Day, but I had to go to Philly for three days for a rather intense visitation event for accepted students at Penn’s grad school.   
I’d like to write my response to the epic day that was Shamrock Fest 2K8 [...]

Fuck Me, I’m Scottish - Shamrock Fest 2K8

“It’s like a legal Drunk in Public.” Basically, this is the mentality that friends of mine adopt when it comes to tailgating. You hang out in public, almost always outside, be it a field or a parking lot, and you drink….a lot. There are barbecues, people bring sandwiches, there are a ton [...]

Lighten Up

I don’t really know what’s been going on with me lately, but I am not the sanctimonious douchebag that I’ve been writing like lately. I totally don’t take things as seriously as you might think from reading my blog in the past month or two. I mean, come on, I frequently pee [...]

“Spitzer Swallows.”

I was trying to think of a title for my blog post today and my buddy Pete suggested that. His highly original and mature take on the entire situation basically rang true for all of my interactions with the story. As I watched CNN yesterday afternoon at lunch and the story broke that [...]

The Glory of Tarjay

I feel like one begins to take things for granted until they’re taken away. Be they freedom, driving privileges, your credit card, or your Girl Scout cookies, the best things in life are often overlooked until you don’t have them any more. Absence either makes you forget something completely or makes the heart [...]

Drinkin’ in the Dark

A friend of mine was visiting from LA last week so I took him downtown to grab some food and a few drinks. We hit up Clyde’s in Gallery Place because he was intrigued and we had a good time. It’s a nice place, obviously, and he wanted to go in because of [...]
