I write sometimes. Sometimes people read what I write, but not often.
I like to smell everything in Yankee Candle and pretend I'm traveling to far off lands. I don't like too many "nah nah's" in songs. I like my coffee black.
I recorded a solo album in 1998 with 9 original songs and a cover of "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" because I knew the chords. Hardly anyone has heard it.
This is a view of the formula for standard deviation. Standard deviation apparently has something to do with statistics and something to do with the MBA program I’ve now saddled myself with. I chose to sacrifice every other weekend for the next 2 years, so I guess I […]
This is a view of the Route 17 eastbound parking lot earlier this morning near the Monroe exit. This can only be blamed on one thing…a woman named Irene. I head about this bitch all weekend and it seemed like she ruined a lot of people’s lives the […]
This is a view of the line waiting outside the Rich Forum Theater in Stamford, CT earlier today where they film The Jerry Springer Show. No fisticuffs were thrown, no chairs heaved, no cat fights, hair pulling, or exposed breasts were seen in line. I initially snapped this […]
This is a view of the instructions I found on a gas pump earlier today. I don’t find this stuff, it finds me. I mean that. I’ve always had an ability (or curse, depending on who you ask) of noticing every single minor error in spelling, grammar, punctuation, […]
This is a view of the van that was in front of me this afternoon as I was picking up my 3PM coffee at the Donut Delight drive-thru line in Stamford, CT. This picture was actually taken after I left the drive-thru, but that’s irrelevant to this story. […]
This is a view of a horse from 2 days ago. Riveting, I know. What’s represented in this picture is not my love of horses (although I have no beef with them), but a reminder for me of the small, yet monumental moments that happen in one’s life […]
This is a view of what writer’s block looks like. This is what happens when you have to bear down at work and put some extra hours in to get shit done. This is also what happens when it’s raining and miserable outside. Nothing is catching my eye […]
This is a view of the back of my shampoo bottle. Please take a deep breath and temper your excitement. It’s not unlike other shampoo bottles, as you can see. But as I went to grab the bottle and place a dollop of liquid in my palm to […]
Please refer here for a quick refresher before continuing. This is a view of the other side of the street from earlier today. Apparently our hero continues to have issues with furniture slipping out of his buddy’s truck. Or his wife got sick of his shit and decided […]
This is a view of the Yale Alumni Magazine that was in my mail today. Right address, wrong name. I’m a SUNY Cortland grad, thank you very much. Frankly, I’m offended that this rubbish showed up in my mail box and soiled my junk mail with its Ivy […]
