Yes...It's True
Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, I have a Tumblr page. It’s been dormant for about a year now, mostly because 98% of Tumblr is full of fangirling and general lunacy, but I’ve kept it around for some reason. Don’t worry, I won’t post to Twitter much through it, I know that can get irritating. I honestly just wanted to see if it was still functional. Peace out kiddies.

Life is full of failure and misery. Get over it.
You are not going to be the next great artist or writer. You are never going to be on Oprah. You will not become an overnight success, an instant millionaire or an Oscar winning actor. You will know more failures than successes. Life will eat…

Blackhawks Up the Antti in OT Thriller
Currently playing: Pearl Jam - Vs. (I hope some of you can find the humor in there…DirecTV subscribers aside) As I’m guessing there might be a few new readers after the barnburner on Chicago’s west side tonight, I’ll try and do it justice. It’s difficult to put down on paper what exactly transpired, but I’m sure by now many of you have seen the highlights,...

Now playing: Clam Famine - Pants Across America
(Note from last post: When explaining why I refer to the Hawks as “we”, the second reason, “I feel I’ve earned it” was supposed to be interpreted more “tongue-in-cheek” than it was. As far as professional on-ice experience, I haven’t earned shit. Just wanted to clear that up so I don’t seem...

Another Line in the Favre Monday Night Football...
You can love him or hate him, but you sure as hell can’t ignore him.
Brett Favre added another floor to the skyscraper that is his MNF Legacy tonight, much to the chagrin of myself and other countless millions of Packer fans (as well as those just sick of hearing about the soap opera altogether). And I must say, as much as it completely turned me inside out to watch him do that to our...
2016: Back the Bid?
I’m in a good mood. Check that, a GREAT mood! (If you don’t know why, you really haven’t been paying attention) The NHL ‘09-‘10 campaign got underway this evening, and the Hawks regular season lid-lifter is tomorrow morning in Finland. This is a fantastic time of year! That said, I came to a relatively important conclusion today on what I consider to be a...
