Pretty Good For A Change

I found out at the last minute that I needed to go to the bank. This was pretty unexpected as I thought the day for me would be all work. I quickly rush out of the house so I can make it down by 3. I have a quick rant I must share with all [...]


Where Is Everyone?

I had no plans for this past Friday (09/22/06). However at the last minute I ended up hanging out with my best friend Dawn. She was curious if I would be interested in going to the San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy. Since I had been busy working, I thought it would be a good [...]


Show A Little Class, Will You!

September 20, 2006 was a day I had been anxiously awaiting. On this night I would be heading to Coda to see my friends Dayglow take part in the boot camp for Bodog’s $1,000,000 Battle Of The Bands contest. The night was quite entertaining as I saw some good music with Dayglow being the best [...]


Say Hello To The R160B

Oh Yes It Is, I’ll Bet You $50

Don’t you just hate when you have a know it all who swears he or she is right? I know I do & for all of us who do, this event will annoy you like it did me. The weather on Tuesday December 27th was beautiful. The skies were clear & the temps were quite [...]


Please Don’t Forget About Me Mr. Bus Driver

Monday December 19th was just one of those days. The type of day where you have different ideas of what you have to get done, but also have a lingering dose of laziness. I wrestled back & forth most of the day & decided not to go far.
I took a 7-8 minute walk to a [...]
