I Stopped Writing

Pete Rose makes me sad.

Teachers need to realize how much their pensions cost. Work for 30 years. Get paid for 60. When these pension contracts were originally written life expectancy was 20 years less. Adapt.
Teachers should be paid more. Have a 401K. No pensions. Enjoy your summers off.

Rob Gronkowski is a beast with human knees.

I don't want to share my FB profile with co-workers. I yearn for the times where FB wasn't the way you got to "know" people.

The Gaslight Anthem went on hiatus. Fuck.
Brian Fallon's new single doesn't suck.

I haven't been sleeping well. But you don't care. Nor should you.

The first half of the 10th episode of The Affair made me think. A LOT.

My next book needs to be ME. I need to embrace that.

My high school German teacher once said. If at the end of your life you could count your good friends on one hand you are lucky. Not until I got older did I realize how right he was.

Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I fall asleep to it every night.

Sort of warm for December in New York.

This is the first time I have written in months. I didn't know if I still had it in me.

I don't think I have another book in me. It is there, but I don't think it will ever get on a page.

What Is the World Coming To?

I have been working on a huge project at work. I could tell you about it, but I will wait until the ink is on the page before doing so. My point here is that I have been able to be creative with how I plan a huge event. Rather satisfying to create a concept and work it through. You know, better than cubicle living. I hung out at an ad agency last night. I wish my company had beer taps, free food, a pool table, and bean bag chairs. No really......that was amazing. Was also able to have an hour long strategy session around my event - while drinking free beer. Yeah, so that didn't suck. At all. In the least. In any capacity. Whatsoever. I may ask if they need an intern. Bought tickets to a Brian Fallon concert. He is the lead singer for The Gaslight Anthem. It is in the middle of New Jersey. I have no clue how I will get there, but I will manage. I mean, how tough could it possibly be? ...

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma is an American Dilemma I have always been into politics. The board game "Hail to the Chief" was my favorite growing up. (At the age of 11 I could name all 50 state capitals. Today.....Hold on, let me try. Tell you in a second......43. Respectable, but an exercise that led me to kick myself over forgetting the capital of New Hampshire.) I love political dramas like House of Cards and The West Wing (another reason I should have known the capital of NH). When I was in college I majored in Political Science and nearly went to 50% of my classes. On Sunday mornings I tend to watch Meet the Press. You get the picture I am painting here. I enjoy politics. And I'll even tell you my political views. I am a fiscal conservative and liberal on most social policies. Our tax code is completely broken. Immigration is a problem that can be fixed with cooperation and better border enforcement/let's ...

Save the Pandas

Let's get this out in the open. I love Pandas. They sit around all day eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around........pretty much enjoying life. I dig that. If everyone in this world were more like a panda it would be a friendlier, fuzzier place. But alas, we humans do not resemble the Giant Panda. Therefore, perhaps, we need Giant Pandas to remind us of how simple life can be. (OK, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Pandas are simply a cool animal that I enjoy going to the zoo and watching for an hour - or however long they let me stand at the Panda reserve) So that is why this news report is so very upsetting to me: http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/21/16964074-are-giant-pandas-worth-saving?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1 The idea that we need to be putting fewer resources into the preservation of the panda species. I have some arguments here: 1. What would you rather save? A lizard? Liz...
