Well, Christmas is over, and I’ll be headed back to New York tomorrow for a few more days off before returning to work. Some friends from Michigan will be in town, so I’ll have some fun times at the bar to look forward to.
Plus, it is now officially Capital One Bowl Week, which Brian [...]

I’m on my way to fight the herds at the airport, so I can get home to celebrate a holiday I don’t officially believe in, with family who I have not yet bought gifts for.
Happy holidays everyone!

Yes, I’m A Dork

I was going to write a second post yesterday, but after the stats-filled dweebfest that the first one turned out to be, I thought I’d low for a little while.
Has your brain returned back to normal? Have the synapses firing all around your head finally calmed down? Have you stopped questioning why you’re [...]

In a previous post, I mentioned that the end of the college football season has created a sense of emptiness in my life. Fortunately for me, the NCAA has implemented a ridiculously large 32-game postseason.

I’m not Christian (wow, big shocker). Despite that fact, my family has long celebrated the traditions of the holiest of Christian holidays (It is Christmas right? Or is it Easter? Either way, I’m talking about Christmas here.), less the fancy Eve dinner, yule log, egg nog, ugly sweaters, requisite visit to Church, [...]

“We have unfinished business as a team”
With one simple sentence, Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long (a.k.a. guy who almost ate Gerard during a visit to Ann Arbor) put smiles back on the faces of Michigan fans who’ve been, hmm, a little depressed for the last 11 days. He’ll be staying for the 2007 season, [...]

I’m a member of a little mobile social network called Dodgeball. It’s essentially a mix between mass text messaging and social networking (think Friendster/Facebook/MySpace). When you send a text message to a standard number, all of the people you’ve set up as your ‘friends’ receive the message - the location of the bar [...]

Although my job continues to push my daily life forward at a feverish pace, I’ve recently discovered some gaping holes in other areas of my life. Most noticeably, I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms from…

A Penn State fan, a Notre Dame fan, and a Michigan fan walk into a Taco Bell…

No, that’s not the beginning of a joke. Its a true story, one that ends with the Penn State fan saying “Urban Meyer….what a fucking joke. I guess we’ll have to root for OSU.”
And as I sat there alone (the two random fans having taken their food to go), eating the last of [...]
