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 →
The Rant Was Due pt. 1
Cross-posted from a Twitter rant I did this morning while waiting at the eye doctor's office. This is part one of a #TheRantIsDue and #TheRantWasDue series of essays and, well, rants that needed to be said. -------- The Penguins, despite the results and sometimes lopsided scores, have actually been playing - relatively - well and...

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...

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 →
Where Do We Go From Here?
Bienvenue, mes amis. It's been a while since I posted. Pretty much broke that promise of regular updates. The only thing consistent is my inconsistency. As you have likely gathered, the school year is in full swing and I am, as per usual, up to my neck in work. Don't take that as necessarily a... Continue Reading →
“The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls”
It has been a long, long time since I have written anything. It wasn't for lack of material about which to write (NHL Lockout, replacement refs in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Pirates laughable collapse, the election, my personal life, etc). It was simply a matter of professional life absolutely consuming every waking moment from July... Continue Reading →
The Deep End of the Fan Pool
I am, by and large, a big personality. Those who know me in real life know that I can be...a little much to take. Those who only know me from online are fairly certain that I am mentally unstable and in desperate need of various medications. They very well may all be right, but that... Continue Reading →
Well, that happened.
Folks, it's about to get real ugly in here. I would have said it's about to stink in here, but the Pens did enough stinking for everyone. Season recap, grades, and looking ahead coming this week. You've been warned.
