So long, 2011, and good riddance. I can’t tell you how happy I am to see you go. I don’t much care about welcoming in the new year so much as I just can’t contain my excitement at saying goodbye to you forever. I can’t remember a year when I’ve ever felt more dejected, ostracized, lonely, led-on, angry, exploited, inadequate, worried, or just plain crappy. I’m...

This is a problem, and I admit I’m a part of it. I can’t help but agree with the author when he says, “We can’t afford to live off candy bars forever.”
I’ve gone and done it now. I broke down and ate an M&M at almost eleven at night. Sure it starts off small. But soon it just won’t be enough, and I’ll have to get more and more M&Ms to satisfy the cravings. Next thing you know I’ll be missing work to go score more candies. I’ll be selling all of my stuff so that I can afford more and more bags of peanut and...
Oh Todd, where art thou? I sent you an email yeterday about Billy Tucci, and I was hoping we could back-and-forth about it. Ho hum, without someone to back-and-forth with I am lost in my sobriety. I love you and I hate you, Todd.
Bob Cratchett. Is that how you spell it? Well, that guy is who I should be when I grow up. I’ll be broke anyway. Good ol’ Bobby, he don’t need no...
Never the one to be self-less, I have decided to present my dear readers and critics (I can read your thoughts.) with a list of items that I would like for Christmas. I noticed that no one got me anything for my birthday, so consider this a chance to redeem yourselves and make it back into my good graces and possibly my will. If you really put your mind to it, you can make it happen.
A delicious...
Greg, I thought we agreed on the whole arm’s length thing. Clearly we need to review the rules.
The only thing standing between greatness and me is me.

Apologies to all my friends.
I really must speak out for the sake of a great composer: Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Dude was a film and art composer in the golden days until he died in 1966. He taught some other really great composers like John Williams (yup), Henry Mancini (Pink Panther guy), and Andre Previn (also world renowned conductor). The reason we don’t hear more of this guy is because he was writing melodies...

Intense heartbreak will make you do crazy things. For instance, I just spent four and a half minutes listening to country music, song and artist revealed privately by request. I’m not even drunk! The last drink I had was last night, and until four minutes ago I was country music free. There’s a rehab for this, right?
Got a new guitar. No lie, it’s an awesome instrument....
I just read an article stating the three worst reasons to return to school, and all three applied to me. So what do I do now?

I bought it on Wednesday and started to read it during the trip to Ohio to see my sister. It was my only book. Normally, reading is not exactly a chore, but depending on the book it can certainly feel like it. I am nearing 500 pages in a single weekend. This is incredible for me.

I smell a thesis in there somewhere.
