So it's been a month+ since I've last updated this blog, so I'm starting a new feature. This is the first episode in "Asshole Emails from or to friends of mine." It saves me the hassle of coming up with something dumb to write anyways.

This is to honor people who write emails like they're postin ...to read more click here

One thing Bridge Nine has in common with Hugh Grant is that we sure do get around cheaply and we've got the photos to prove it.

In phase two of our "Bridge Nine Diplomacy" Tour, Chris and I took advantage of ridiculously cheap flights, an even cheaper hotel, and a plummeting British Pound excha ...to read more click here

Bukowski.

I named my dog after Bukowski.
Actually, we got him from a
family of hunters in
northern Wisconsin.
They named him
Buckshot.

They had a camo garage.

We figured he'd respond to it
and it would be much
less embarrassing
to say out loud.
He was young enough.

I've had about four blog entries I've abandoned. They were about my man-love for Tim Barry, Kurt Vonnegut, and my best of 2008 list. But they were too long and uninteresting to anyone who wasn't mocked as "Snarl Pencil" on the playground as a kid. So to sum up my prematurely aborted posts and wit ...to read more click here

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I do think that tonight's election will be called after midnight east coast time for ratings purposes, but what the fuck do I know anyways?

Quick catch up on me personally: A lot of people don't know this and think it's completely crazy when I tell them. It alm ...to read more click here

This isn't about how awesome Rise Against's music is. They're a solid band with some great songs. A solid B effort through five albums is pretty impressive in this day and age so if nothing else, they're consistent as hell. This is more about how awesome it is that Rise Against exists. So bear w ...to read more click here

For a week prior to leaving, the words "I'm going on a work trip to Berlin for a week" were a bit of a mystery. While we had some meetings set up and we knew we'd be meeting with a lot of people we have worked with over the last 2-3 years-and I was terrified of having down time. We don't get those ...to read more click here

Hey Pete!What’s up, bud? It’s been a while. A long while. Okay, I’ll admit it-We’ve never met. That’s not to say we haven’t been very close in the same rooms. If you add up the last decade, we SHOULD be friends, or at least distant “what’s up” acquaintances. We have many mutual friends and have ...to read more click here

I watched Barack Obama's entire speech tonight. I tend to be a skeptic whenever something is receiving an inordinate amount of hype. Even when I support said hype. The Hold Steady-I accept the fact you may not like them because everyone who sings their praises is a douchebag. And when it comes t ...to read more click here

I am in Toronto tonight. I have found myself with some time on my hands since this city charges $100 for internet and the one place that allows me to get a beverage and use the internet doesn't allow me to connect to my mail server. So it goes. Shit happens. But I spent all day doing very un-har ...to read more click here
