12.24.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

So I happen to be Christmas shopping yesterday and I stopped at Penn Station (34th Street) at approximately 5pm to grab a bite to eat. Now, like any other major transportation hub, this one was alive and crammed with people itching to get [...]

Yes folks, I went out for a drink on a Monday night. I really shouldn’t have done it. I know better now for more reasons than I will put down in this post.

When I woke up this morning, I just knew I was going to get a lot done. I had the energy to make things happen. I even thought I’d be able to get a few things done on my blog.

One again, Mother Nature strikes again. All of those poor saps that were trying to beat the snow, train, snain or any other nasty combination that seems to enjoy hitting the east coast around the holidays has struck again.

To Be Ignored or Followed? That is the question.
02.20.07 | Permalink | Comment?

It is an interesting experience to go shopping these days rather than ten years ago. For one, ten years ago the moment you walked in the store people were all over you asking, “Can I help you?” Not actually asking cause they cared to ask but for the simple fact that the manager wanted them [...]
