Ridin' the storm out
I’ve been a refugee since Friday.
New York was hit with a monster blizzard last week, and unfortunately I live in ground zero. At around 1:30 Friday morning, the power went out at my house. For the rest of Friday afternoon and evening, I made the best of it. I roughed it. I shoveled snow. I prepared food on my gas stove. I listened to the radio. By Saturday morning, my house was 53 degrees,...
I want to play
I won’t post the entire list, but I will share the ones I found most interesting/relevant/true

Falling deeper into the nerdish abys
So, you all know me to be a pretty cool guy, right? I mean, sure. I spend too much time on the Internet, have more computers in my house than TV’s, take enjoyment in learning new technologies and overall geek out on things like the iPhone. On the flip side, I party in NYC, play a pretty mean Wipeout on guitar, and have been called an outstanding lover on more than one occasion. Pretty good...
Crushed under the weight of my mediocrity
Something hit me this evening as I spent time as I often do, cruising through Tumblr and reading the as always amazing posts.
I am lucky to follow and be followed back by some amazing people. The circle that I travel in is populated by artists, both visual and verbal, incredible wits, engineers, deep thinkers, and hell, even a scientist. I can name names here, but we all know who we are. Some of...

Congrats (on the down low) about losing weight!
Congrats (on the down low) about losing weight!
Ok, let's not make a big deal about this..
Everyone.. I am down around 15 pounds.
Not that big of a deal, I know. But a coworker just sheepishly asked me if I was losing weight, so I came clean about dieting. I’m keeping it on the down low and not letting alot of people know about it, only because I don’t want to set myself up for failure and have the whole world know about it. So, yeah. But I got on the scale this morning and...
Recess was both awkward and quiet those days.
Happy Valentines Day Tumblr Buddies!
Ok, so, not very original. However, wishing all of my male and female Tumblr buddies a Happy Valentines day brings me back to elementary school, where the entire class gave each other valentines. I distinctly remember one year a clique of us guys standing around each other, awkwardly handing each other Valentines. It was weird.
Then there was the year I...

Sorry, I should have shared. I watched this last week on Netflix download service. This is a fantastic movie, people. Go. Watch.
I Crack Myself Up
Found this while cleaning my hard drive. I wrote this for a communications class I took a few years ago. It was one of my last assignments, and since I already had an A in the class, I figured I’d have some fun with it. I got an A on this. I know it’s tacky to laugh at your own jokes, but I’m in the right frame of mind to be easily entertained today. Enjoy. BTW, totally cool if...

@pvaras: “Perfect song for today.”
Toes
So, in the rush to get dressed this morning, I noticed that I had a small hole in my left sock where my big toe goes. However, since it was a smallish hole and I was in a hurry, I just slipped on my shoes on and headed out the door.
Now, the hole has grown so large that three of my toes are without the protection of sock in my shoe. My foot has this crazy sensation of only being half covered; my...
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why I let these little things bother me so much, and how I can stop it?!?!?
I don't give a fuck about "Lost"

secretcara:
Maybe I’ll watch it when it comes out on Netflix. I said “maybe”. But probably not.
I was just about to say the same thing. LOL I’ll just repost you and say…..ME TOO!!!!
I stopped watching after the first season. The writers dicked everyone around with mysteries and twists that went no where but yet people KEPT watching that crap. In the meantime, great shows that made...
TUNES!!!
beviekins:
After three horrifying months without buying any new music, I finally have speakers, a good internet connection and I’m ready to crash the whole iTunes system with my badass downloadin’ self.
Any recommendations???? What’s your favourite song?
Three months without tunes? Lord, I couldn’t make it. Since I commute so much, my iPod is permanently attached to me. Favorites?...

I'm more embarassed than scared
I have a predilection for bloody noses. I had them a lot when I was a kid, and I saw a doctor and he fixed it. About 15 years ago, they started to recur, so I had a nasty procedure done where the doctor basically cauterized what he called a “varicose vein” in my nose. (I know, GROSS). I’ve been mostly fine since then, with the occasional bleed here and there.
Last week, as I was...
