A brisk walk around Toronto yesterday, mp3 player on shuffle, thoughts swirling around in the head, its like you’re in your own little music video at times. How would I describe Toronto? Take NYC, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle, shake them up in a jar, condense them into a 4 mile by 4 mile radius, [...]
What are we doing here anyway? I’ve been asked that several times for several occasions and several venues. 1 — From an extistential perspective — maybe god’s cruel joke?2 — an event — maybe for the free food?3 — for a work meeting — an agenda? Life has got me talking in such abstracts these [...]
West Texas Rain –
Sometimes I get worked up about ‘how messed up everything is right now’ in politics, but after 20 hours into a 100 lecture series on the history of the United States, I have a different tune, a much different tune. I believe every red blooded American should be exposed to this, especially the types how [...]
Me and the Major, a song by Belle and Sebastian describes the status of my emotions these days, I’m living in a world where I don’t fit in, but like what any survivor does, they survive (wow, did that last sentence sounds like GW Bush or what?) Every night I come home while I live [...]

Here’s all the hoodlums that showed up, great times, check out that expression on Gavin’s face. Only one not [...]

How does that work, how is it that dudes become more accommodating than normal, and conversation opens? All knowledge aside, [...]
No pictures from the outside, I’m not afraid of al qaeda, I’m scared of al-crack-a as Chris Rock would say. Army base behind, 5 blocks to the left crack deals goin’ on, 5 blocks to the right, there’ a country club, and my local pub is ‘Betty’s Battalion,’ therefore it will keep me ‘off the [...]
Saying another farewell, this time to Robin, a person I’ve had the pleasure of working plenty ‘mission impossibles’ with. A wonderful, funny and smart lady who I enjoyed working with over the years, and afternoon walks and talking about life and all that stuff. Pictured at our walking track, that wall behind us is one [...]
Staying with sis’, I’ve technically been ‘borrowing’ my nephew Collin’s room. He’s been a great host, and I’m grateful and will miss my family. There’s always been something quirky in the room though, Mr. Teddy light switch. I have to ‘turn him on’ every morning. What do yall think, phallic, or am I just way [...]
