it's raining...
last week was a tough one for amy and i. her grandfather, reese, past away last monday at the age of 81. he was a great man whom we both admired and loved dearly. he was everything to amy, and it broke her heart to have to say goodbye. i started writing this a few days after he died, sitting in my office on a rainy afternoon. it’s not finished yet (i don’t think), but i felt i should...

Breaking The Cycle...
sometimes, the shuffle feature on my ipod is so brilliant. on my extremely short drive to work every morning, it’s rare that i get to hear more than two songs. that is, if i even bother to use my ipod at all. more often than not, i drive in silence. sometimes, those brief few minutes of muffled street sounds are all i need to prep for another attempt at world conquest. and then in the...
Farmville
I realize I haven't posted anything on here in a long-ass time. And there have been some pretty significant moments in my life since my last post (i.e. - getting married, going on our honeymoon, writing for Urban Jacksonville). And this post has really nothing to do with anything. But whatever. I thought it was funny:
Greg: fuck yourself.
Me: i hate you.
Greg: i'll tell you what i hate. the fucking bitch that sent me a farmville duck on facebook. i mean, really? wtf. get a life!
Me: hahahaha. hate that shit.
Greg: it's the worst.
Me: mafia wars, farmville - all kinds of bullshit. JUST LEMME STALK CHILDREN IN PEACE!
Greg: that's what i'm sayin'!

A-Man on 'Inglourious Basterds'
Me: What'd you think of the basterds?

WatchThe Suicide File at ‘This Is Hardcore’ - Philadelphia, PA - August 14, 2009
going a little crazy with music related video posts lately, and after 2 straight girl postin’s, thought i’d switch the style up and watch the money pile up… gotta keep it real, right? now, i don’t expect you to watch this entire video. but the important thing to take away from this...
Blood, sweat and screens...
Let me just say, Amy and I are so incredibly lucky to have such awesome, generous, creative and gifted friends. A few days ago marked the completion of a long and difficult endeavor taken on by our friends Varick Rosete and Sean Tucker. You see, a while back, Amy and I were tossing around ideas for our wedding invitations. We knew we wanted something “different”, but we just...

greg's monday morning dilemma...
greg: i believe they have dr. manhattan & rorschach figures for sale as well as the film tomorrow.
me: oh yeah?
greg: i mean, would it be gay to buy one for my desk @ work?
me: fuck no... have you seen my desk at work?
greg: haha. yeah - i'm about as bad. which one do you think is worth picking up? i kinda like dr. manhattan - but dude is rocking a g-string.
me: depending on how much they are.. maybe both?
greg: oh well, it's not like he's posed like christ resurrected or anything...oh wait....
me: christ WISHES he was blue and rockin' a g-string
greg: no doubt son. i love how this is my big crisis for the day.
me: whether or not to purchase a homo-erotic blue figurine to display at your place of employment?
greg: yes....exactly.
give blood...
this song came on and i immediately felt like i had to post it and its respective lyrics. whenever i hear this song it moves me so much and i get filled with so much emotion.. if you can’t stand to listen to it, at least read it.. i feel like the words and the message are all so powerful: give it all you’ve got. because hey… this is all we’ve got…
now… bum...

oblivious in oblivion..
i thought of you today.. and consequently, our love. and how i’ve never loved anyone or anything as mightily or as recklessly as i do you.. it makes me weak and it makes me strong.. it kills me, then brings me back to life.. i revel in it daily and dream about it nightly.. and i’d like nothing better than to shroud ourselves in it, hidden from the rest of the world.. content in our...

this is a pic amy took of jaxson, the almost 1 yr old son of my cousin phil and his wife venice (pronounced ve-NEESE), which almost brought me to tears. aside from being ridiculously cute in real life, the little bastard photographs like a goddamn model. and the end result is just.. beautiful.
i can only hope that me and amy’s kids will possess a fraction of this kid’s charm.. but...

so i started this here blog.. don’t really know why or what i’m going to put on here. but it seemed like all the cool kids were doing it.. so i said, “whaddafuck?”. awesomely enough, for the few minutes that this thing has been “alive”, my prior reservations about starting a blog in the first place have already been realized. those reservations mostly being...
