hey, you guys. Guys!

Have I got your attention? Okay, well, I seriously thought I just heard Santa Claus in the other room.  Yes, thought.  Meaning the end of this story has no real punch line other than disappointment and dog shit on the living room floor. 
Okay, so it was 7am and I couldn’t sleep on Christmas Day (shocker), and [...]

LPNY: The Hangouts.

These are segments, notes really, from places in my hometown and the various memories I have from them through the years. All can be found under the category: “home life.”
In the previous entry I mentioned the Board Walk, and where those of us who didn’t exactly fit into the grunge group would go and reside.  [...]

The Toboggan Chute Beach.

These are segments, notes really, from places in my hometown and the various memories I have from them through the years. All can be found under the category: “home life.”
So, walking Alex, about 5ish yesterday at the Public Beach and all of these things came flowing back to me. In high school, where the [...]

Nope, not going to title this one: “I see dead people.”

I believe in ghosts. Prepare for the oxymoronic statement that embraces every reader of this blog on every post: my favorite reality TV show is Ghost Hunters. Why is this an oxymoronic statement? Well, because this show airs on the SciFi channel, and, naturally anything on the SciFi channel probably has nothing to [...]

Back from Thanksgiving

Got back to NYC last night, after missing my original train. How annoying: we called ahead for the 4:50 train that originated in Chicago, figuring it would be late, because if the train doesn’t originate in Albany almost all other trains coming from anywhere else are ALWAYS late. So, we called ahead and Amtrak [...]

And at work. Groan.

AA

Currently in transit home, after rocking out to Paul’s Boutique, I realize that I don’t have it on this computer. Just passing Saratoga Springs, listening to Dave’s “Two Step,” bringing the evening down a notch. I’m coming home to hang out with my brother before he heads back to college for his senior year. It’s [...]

Happy Birthday, Andrew!

More of the brothers, originally uploaded by davepress.
After midnight tonight, my little brother will be of age to consume alcohol, and will be doing so courtesy of some left over drink chips from his elder brother’s favorite night out of the week: Lake Placid Pub & Brewery’s Two For Tuesday. If you are in the [...]

Happy 4th of July

Considering the amazing douche-baggery involved in what today has been, I’ve been actually praying for another new job to come my way. There’s one guy in the office, who loves to take notice regarding the cap for my SoBe bottle that doubles as my water bottle.
“Live Green or Die,” this cap reads. He and I [...]

Train Notes

Riding the train to Albany from Penn Station I was sitting next to a blond haired girl. We discussed Al Gore and how he should run for President and how the conductor sounded like she was drunk. Eventually we moved into discussing what we do for a living is never what we majored in [...]
