It’s really unfortunate when you get in an elevator that stinks from the person who was just in it. Really stinks badly. There’s nowhere to hide. You’re in a little box on a string. You just have to endure until you reach your floor. When you arrive at your destination, [more…]
I knew this day would come. I’d been dreading it for years. But today, it finally happened. Today… I misjudged the revolving door in the lobby of my office.
I had stepped out for a hot lunch, some sunlight, and an hour of much needed me time. Getting back to work, a woman [more…]
I resisted this show for as long as I could. I was offended by the concept, not only as an Italian, but as someone from Jersey who’s spent many summers on the Jersey Shore. Monday, on MLK Day, I did what any regular white guy with a lot of time on his hands [more…]

Nothing gets people updating their Facebook status like celebrity death.
This summer we’ve had a lot to be updating about. With MJ and Farrah kicking things off in June, there was an outpouring of grief and 80’s nostalgia in my news feed for a week. A few days later, pitchman Billy Mays went to the [more…]
