Then we will remember...things we said today.
Jay’s 2004 Announcement - watch more funny videos
Maybe someone should play this back for Jay.
Obligatory Existential Post About Haiti.
The notion of man’s supposed dominion of the Earth has been passed down through the ages but every once and awhile nature bitch slaps the human race just to remind us who‘s really running the show. I don’t want to make light of the tragedy in Haiti and hopefully you’ll realize this isn’t my intent, but there’s a lesson or message to be heard and learned from all of this. The message loud and...
Because it's still funny.
Sonic Youth.
One of my favorite bands live.
And my favorite song of theirs (below).

Being from Florida I’m no stranger to natural disasters. This thing in Haiti is pretty bad and although many of us here are having a tough time with the economy, a little something is better than a lot of nothing. Skip Starbucks tomorrow and give that, it’s better than nothing and it all adds up.

“I see great things in baseball. It’s our game—the American game. It...”

Oh and when I look back now, that summer seemed to...
Today Mark McGwire released a statement, if you haven’t heard yet then allow me to kick the rock over you may be under. Or maybe you just work for a living, don’t judge me.
Either way McGwire basically admitted to using performance enhancing drugs at different points in his career including 1998 when he broke the single season record in home runs. For most of us this isn’t anything we didn’t...
The Curse of Brett Favre Lives!
Sometimes the universe just doesn’t give a shit about you. It’s been that way for the most of my life, but tonight, the Packers got the proverbial fist in the ass. I’m no expert in football; I am in baseball however, but there will be other posts in the coming weeks to blow your little mundane minds away. Anyway my point is, I am no football expert, however, in all my years of...
Against my better judgement...
I’ve tweaked the blog to enable comments. I’ve been asked like a million times why you can’t comment or when I will add it so you can so after a few hours of tweaking and trial and error…I did it. HTML is a pain in the ass when you know nothing about it. Don’t get me wrong Tumblr is pretty seamless and user friendly (I recommend it highly) but I had to put the code...
Now I know the secret, there's nothing that I...
I have a novel idea. Let’s not wait until Eric Clapton dies to just declare him the greatest guitar player of all time. Any of you that know me must realize what a bold statement this is given my love for the greats like Jimi Hendrix or say Stevie Ray Vaughn. But what do those two have in common? They’re dead.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not morbid, but let’s face it, our species has a tendency...
The Best 25 Albums of the 00s.
A labor of love, it’s finally done. It’s mine, not some magazine telling you how to think or to define your thoughts or the times for you. This list represents my last decade through music and if you know me personally you realize how big a role music has played not only the last decade but my whole life. It’s how I mark the points in my life, it’s how I celebrated,...
