    I have been a bit backed up with the video uploading for a while. So I sat down tonight and tried to get up to speed. The one below is of my little niece Maya dancing at night in Central Park. It is kinda dark, but you can get the idea. The video below was…

    I’m not quite sure what the appropriate way to begin this post would be. I probably should have made an outline or something beforehand. Since I didn’t, I apologize in advance for the scattered, and most likely disconnected manner in which this post will turn out. Now that the preface is out of the way,…

    I stumbled upon this site the other day when I was looking up race results. It has race results compiled by athlete name. I searched my name and all of my results came up. Even my corporate challenge results, hahaha. Anyway, Reagan and I spent an evening browsing this site looking up all of our…

    A little premature, I know. But for me, as the end of the year approaches, I tend to start looking back and trying to pickout, what, if anything, I have accomplished over the past year. I get annoyed when people decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving (even more annoying before Halloween). But I guess that I…

    I promise, this will be the last post about college football until Nov. 22, or thereabouts. Not to belabor the point, but last night was a pretty exciting game, for having such an incredibly low score. Both teams exhibited some seriously impressive defense. As I mentioned before, I feel like Utah’s team empirically would do…

    I’m pretty sure that I just woke up my whole building. 10-0, baby.

    I haven’t really laughed at South Park for a while. I feel like it took a turn toward over the top offensive about 2 seasons ago, so I have only really watched is sporadically since. I have to admit though, the election episode was so on money, I almost spit out my DC from laughing…

    Yes, that’s right. I came home from work, and pretty much didn’t move from the couch, except to get another coke or use the bathroom, for about the next 5 hours (PS, this picture wasn’t really taken last night, it is only for the purpose of example). Reagan was a little bummed out that she…

    I sent this pic into NY Magazine and they published it in their blog this morning. Woo hoo. I wish that I could have taken a better shot. I really wasn’t expecting to see that line this morning or else I would have brought a better camera, so I didn’t have to use the crappy…

    People predicted that there would be a huge turnout this morning. If my polling location is any indication, those people predicted correctly. The poll opened at 6 A.M. Statewide. I arrived at 6:30 thinking that I would miss the initial crowd, and beat the crowd that would try to vote right before going into work.…
