Dare to be different, I always say. I love to actively seek out and experience the unique, the quirky, the off-the-beaten-path type of stuff, especially in the world of fine arts and entertainment. While radio is attempting to shove what they want to be the “next big thing” down the public’s throat, I scour music [...]

Hello everyone! I’m out of town at a friend’s wedding this weekend, so I’m going to “phone it in” a little bit in regards to my blog posting this week (ironic, since I’m actually writing this ON my phone!). So, here is an excerpt from the beginning of the guest review on The GORE Score [...]
It’s been 22 seasons, and I still can’t get enough of the crazy reality show of “Survivor.” Now, I’m not a total reality show fanatic – I do watch “The Amazing Race” and enjoyed some of the goofier concept shows that aren’t around anymore (I miss you and will always love you, “Blind Date!”). But [...]
We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives.
Posted: April 17, 2011 in UncategorizedIt’s been an interesting week for me, to say the least. Let me hit you with what is probably THE single highlight: Last weekend, I traveled with my “entourage” (read: my three awesome cousins and my brother) To Virginia to take part in the filming of the remake of the “classic” Ed Wood film “Plan [...]

Long before there were any “Gleeks,” there existed a special breed of teenager I call the Show Choir Nerd. The TV show “Glee,” for those unfamiliar, is a fictional series all about show choir, or at least something that represents the Hollywood-embellished version of show choir. “Glee” has been nominated for numerous awards and received [...]

Hi everyone! The next few days are going to be chock-full of updates-a-go-go, as there is a lot of big stuff happening in my little world o’mine. Let’s do a quick haiku-check of what else has been going on lately: Bryrony, M.D. Started her residency It’s very rhyme-y Baby keeps growing Adorable li’l monkey Go [...]

Well, my free time as a new Dad has been fairly minimal, but I suppose that was to be expected, wasn’t it? Between helping Amelia during her formative first few months in the world, taking a new position at work, and all the extracirriculars that I try to squeeze in to my life (more on [...]
I never thought I’d end up playing straight man to a tin can.

I’ve been told that, with a brand-new little one and all, I’m going to have to start watching less zombie and horror movies and more “family-friendly” fare. While I have no problem watching the “G’ and “PG” rated stuff with the growing baby girl, I definitely do not subscribe to the tenet that my scary [...]

Okay, time to write a blog post, for a couple of good reasons: Amelia has fallen asleep on my legs, and I dare not move lest I wake her and incur the wrath of the Late-Night Wiggles. Soooo, I won’t be heading to bed any time soon. I seem to have hit a case of [...]
What an absolute whirlwind that last week has been! As most of you know by now, my daughter, Amelia Margaret, was born at 12:05am on Sunday, February 14th, at a complete surprise to her mother and I, as she was six weeks early. I have sat down to attempt to write this blog entry a [...]
