It's been a while since I've updated my playlist listing.I use last.fm a few months ago, but stopped when I did reinstall.I'm going to start to use it again, so my playlist will stay updated in the right hand column. Note, I often listen to a personalized...

Believe it or not, I don't feel any guilt about not having blogged in a while. It's the same old story here (busy, happy, blah, blah), but all is very well. I figured I'd throw up a quick round up of some stuff so in the future I can go back and remember...

I'm finally get a new bed. My old mattress was kinda cheap and is 7 years old at this point. I was going to try and pick up a new king size mattress, but the extra space necessary just wasn't going to work in the current layout of my bedroom. I thought...

Wow, it's been way too long since I've posted anything. I'm going to save a big post for after the holidays, but all is very well here. Been doing a ton of traveling and lots of work. For now, happy holidays and a happy new year to all!...

I've posted the full set of Lollapalooza Day 1 and Day 2 photos. I'll post the day 2 review one of these days. Busy than usual, but all is very good. Longer update in the near future, i'm sure....

I went to Lollapalooza this weekend with my friend Sandi in Chicago's awesome Grant Park and had a blast. The event was the first big concert in the park since Radiohead played there in 2001 and was a test to see if future concerts/event could work....

...was one of the many places I've been other than home recently. (more on this below...) I've been running around so much that it's nice to finally be home and catching up on stuff. It's been an incredibly busy few months. Based on curiosity more...

I was going to mention this in my post yesterday about concerts, but I've grown wary about talking about things before they happen. I get myself in trouble or curse myself when I do that. Tickets went on sale today for a bunch of U2 concerts at Madison...

Been going to a bunch of concerts in the last few weeks and have a few on the agenda. Here's a quick recap. 2/24/05: Ben Lee @ Tonic in NYC Ben Lee leaving after the show I've been a fan of Ben's for a while (since he appeared on a copy of CMJ in the...

It was 62 degrees and very nice yesterday. It's snowing now. March is crazy, yo....

At dinner this evening I was talking to some friends and the subject of living in Hoboken came up. I couldn't remember the exact date I moved here, so when I got home tonight I looked it up. I moved here on February 19, 1999. I can't believe I've been...

I know I'm coming a little late to the Dan Brown Da Vinci Code bandwagon, but I finally picked it up the other day and read it. I had previous read his Digital Fortress book and even though I enjoyed it, I was discouraged by the person who lent to me...

I've been slacking with my book updates. I finished George Carlin's latest book, When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops, last October. I haven't gotten around to updating the side links on my blog to reflect my latest books, so I'm trying to catch up...

I picked up tickets to see Oasis with Special Guest Jet at Madison Square Garden in June this week. I've always been a big Oasis fan. They are coming out with a new album in May. I look forward to hearing it. The addition of Jet at the show is great....

Yesterday I had my [fairly] annual super bowl party. Just about every single year I spend a while getting ready for the party by cleaning my apartment. This year was probably the most insane cleaning tho. I started on Thursday afternoon and pretty much...

I'm not sure exactly when I developed it, but I first noticed it in pictures at a friend's wedding last year and have seen it every [drunk] picture of me since: I have a special drunk smile. It's an overly exaggerated smile. It's weird, but what can I...

Another important lesson in watching what you say. I was talking to my sister on Sunday and we ended up getting into a discussion about careers. She said she hated computers and that they suck. Since she's studying to become optometrist, I told her I...

I've had a beard on and off for the last 5 years or so. Mostly on, but every so often I get the urge to shave it off. What's really strange is this urge normally comes around winter time. Not exactly the smartest time to shave off something that helps...

It's cold. My hands and feet are blue. That's not good or normal, is it? After a ridiculously cold trip to Vegas (it snowed there!), the weather back in NY wasn't so bad when I returned. There was a note waiting for me when I got to my place that informed...

www.mmmphotos.com is back. The hard drive that had all my photos and music on it died right after i got that new 400GB drive back in November. I had a backup of most of the important stuff, but lost all the music i was in the process of converting into...

When it comes to sneakers and shoes, I'm a pretty simple person. I have a minimal amount of pairs. I bought a nice pair of shoes the other days to have something a little nicer than sneakers to wear with jeans. I've worn them a bunch of times, but not...

One of the more successful activities this year for me was a new [almost] daily visit to the gym. It's been a great way to blow off steam and further my goal of getting into better shape. There are few things that provide a better stress relief than a...

My cousin shared this excellent photo from her third grade birthday party of me: 6 Years Old So little has changed (except I now drink straight from the bottle): Today: 12/25/2004 ...
