Y'all, I know I haven't written anything for quite, quite some time. That is going to change. I'm not promising I will write regularly or even a lot, but there's gonna be some writing. I have some thoughts about what's going on and Twitter just isn't the place for long-form thinking. Keep posted. I'll be... Continue Reading →
Everything is awful
So, it's been a while, hasn't it? This isn't awkward. It's only been close to 2 years since I wrote anything here. Who would have guessed that the last post (which was my most popular post ever) would have been so...prescient? And also, y'know, hopeful. As you may have noticed, the title to this entry...

The Distance to Here: A Penguins Retrospective
So, here we are. We've all made it here. Where is "here," exactly? That is both something easy and difficult to answer. "Here" is nothing more than the second round of playoffs in the 2015-2016 season. The Penguins have made it through round one with, what some may call, remarkable ease. "Here" is waiting to...

Staring into the Abyss
The following is transcribed from a Twitter Rant I went on earlier today. It was very much a stream-of-consciousness type rant because I had just seen enough and needed to get the thoughts and feeling out of my mind and body. I prefaced it with Lewis Black's amazing hashtag, #TheRantIsDue. I don't expect to win... Continue Reading →
Penguins Postmortem: Part 1
On the bus with the kids end route to Raleigh for the visit to State. Just kinda musing to myself now about the Penguins and the NHL and life in general... 1. Ben Lovejoy is not a great defenseman. That's not the argument. Lovejoy is a more than competent bottom pair guy. He was a... Continue Reading →
Please read, watch, and vote
Hey guys, I don't do a lot of this type of promoting and begging, but the times they are a changing. My school is participating in the annual Fox50 Lipdub challenge and we have a chance of winning $10,000 for our school. We are a small school and getting the word out there is integral...

The Penguins vs reality
The following is transcribed from a series of Tweets I made on Sunday afternoon. Guys, it's time for some #RealTalk Maybe this is a shock to you, but...*psssst* The Penguins are not going to win the Stanley Cup this year. They never were going to. This season was lost years ago when the at-that-time management... Continue Reading →
I’m not dead
Guys, Really, I'm not dead. I have paid to keep this domain alive this long. I just don't have time to write, but, given how this semester is shaping up, I fully expect I will need to write in order to save my sanity. So. Here we are. I'm not dead and, well, I'm not... Continue Reading →
