So last night, I'm sitting around the apartment, just vegging out and washing clothes when I realize my hair's getting a bit out of control. So I decide to whip out the clippers and give myself a trim. I've done this from time to time and had only one such nightmare ... where the guard fell off at the worst possible time, in the middle...

Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I seeing Heart and Alice In Chains (sans Layne) on the same stage performing "Crazy on You" ????

What the fuck is going on here.

Been pretty pissed at the way I've been throwing the disc around lately. PA has been kicking my ass with its courses, and it's not like they're tough, it's the fact I just SUCK at disc golf.

I've been playing for a while, but I can never get into a rhythm. Technique-wise, I know what I'm doing wrong, but the actual part about correcting it...

Lake Placid and shit ....

April's winding down and basically, it's all about spring cleaning. Cleaning of the office, cleaning of the house, cleaning of the dishes, cleaning of the laundry and cleaning of the mind.

I sit here, watching some horrendously bad horror flicks on SCI-FI because I feel like doing nothing with my day. Nothing with my weekend, except those simple pleasures like...

How do you handle customer service?

Reason I ask is that I was in a situation this weekend that basically kept me from blowing up at anyone, no matter how wrong they were, I had to stand there, listen to people complain, scream and berate me and all I could say was "sir, I'm sorry for the delay, we're doing everything we can to take...

Back home for a weekend involving yet another tournament.... I saw some friends, had some drinks, a slew of laughs but still haven't been able to just kick back and be vegetational or something.

I miss it back in Virginia, something about the familiarity of it is soothing. I like where I'm at now, but there's always that part of me that misses home, my...

It's a somewhat warm Sunday afternoon in Lancaster and I'm homebound, indoors and relaxed. I've spent the last two days mowing through my room, washing clothes and trying to just maintain a balance between sanity and sanctity.

Wrestling season's pretty much over and it's taken about a week to fully recover from the NCAA championships in Auburn Hills. The tournament itself was good, the venue...

I'm still having problems getting to sleep. I guess it's something along the lines of an old habit is hard to break.

Worked nights for eight years and I'm still struggling getting up and down with regularity. I travel a lot, so I can't get into a rhythm.

I just need to suck it up and sleep, but there are always good movies on late...

I guess everyone has a little "geek" in them. I think we all have our quirks that stray from our normal realm of what we consider "our thing".

For example, I'm a sports writer in a very select specialty. Much of my world is surrounded by this. From what I wear, what I talk about with friends, what I think about on my own time....

One thing that I have had to get used to since moving north is the presence of snow. While the last two winters have been very tame in terms of the snowfall here in Amish Country, I still can't stand the stuff. Yes, I like running out and reliving some childhood snowmen, snowball fights, and one such instance where my friend Ryan shattered a car...
