    I came across this Lo-Bo hip hop video earlier this year on Animal NY. I thought it was appropriate to share today, being that there are plenty of lightning bolts flying in the NYC area. There are some pretty awesome super powers going on in the video. I wonder if they have tried to recruit…

    Friday evening, for the first time in my life, I was really scared in an elevator. To give a little background, I work on the 36th floor. My elevator bank serves the 27th floor, to the 39th floor. If there are no stops in between, it takes less than 1 minute for me to get…

    Going back to the early 90’s, this week. 1993, was the actual year that the track I’m sharing was released. It came out on the album “Strange Cargo III.” The artist, as you have probably guessed by this point, is William Orbit. Why is it that all of the best electronica artists/DJs, or whatever you…

    Today marks the 15th anniversary of the death of a legend. I’m not really sure how I could have made that first line any more cliche, but it’s true. I can’t believe it has been that long. I remember when I was a lot younger, my mom once told me that everyone in her generation…

    I know that I have complained about this before, but dude, it never ceases to blow my mind/annoy the ever-living crap out of me. It is bad enough trying to maneuver the sidewalks in the rain when everyone is wielding their umbrellas like weapons, so why continue to have them open while walking on covered…

    I mean, I complain so much when the index is tanking, I felt like it was high time that I dropped in some positivity, as well. Is it because of Obama’s statements regarding the US automakers? Is it because the G-20 has agreed on terms of regulation? I’m not really sure. But for me,  getting…

    I’m not really sure what was going on here. It was raining like cats and dogs outside, so I can see wanting to get out of the weather and have a nap. But, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there may have been a more low profile way to go…

    My day is normally broken up into manageable units by sporadic IM conversations with Reagan. These conversations normally consist of Reagan telling me about what is on Oprah, and me telling her about the crap that I read in the paper. Today, when I got to work, I saw that Reagan was already online at…
