I started doing a yearly recap last year. During the past year, I’ve found myself referring to that post quite a few times so I figured I’d do it again this year. Got something you want me to cover in 2012? Drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do!
The Top 10 Posts Of 2011 (Based On Number Of Views)
#10 – Thoughts At 35 No matter how hard I try, I continue to get older. On this “milestone” birthday I decided to jot down a few musings.
I’ve had the idea for this post for quite a while now and I’m finally getting around to actually writing it. I’m not quite sure where its headed, but I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit of a rant. For those readers that aren’t in the mood to listen to me bitch about what’s wrong with the wrestling feel free to move along.
Still with me? OK… here goes. In no particular order.
You think Hogan looks old here? This was in 2008!

Now before you get your panties in a bunch realize that I’m not… Continue reading
A few weeks ago, I got an email from Pip’s sister letting me know that she was making him a quilt made out of t-shirts and was wondering if I had any input. Not only did I have some input but I had what I thought was the perfect shirt to add to the mix… The T5 Flaming Keg shirt. Back in our days in the dorm, Pip and I lived with a great group of guys in Teter-Thompson on the 5th floor. That’s where the nicknames Chewie, Pip, Buford, Amo, Floyd and a whole slew of others come from… Continue reading
Today’s the G-man’s 5th birthday! The kid simply doesn’t sleep these days so even though he went to bed at near 10:00 PM last night, he was up this AM at around 6:30. I figured I’d cut him some slack this morning cause hell… it’s his birthday! As it’s his 5th birthday, today also happens to be the anniversary of our first day as parents. To that end, I decided to put this quick list together of the top 10 things I’ve learned in my first 5 years as Super Dad.
In no particular order:
- Being a dad allows you… Continue reading
These types of lists typically come out at the beginning of the year. I’m all for giving convention the middle finger so I’m doing it in the day after St. Patrick’s Day. Got a problem with that? Part of why I keep this blog is as some sort of “outlet” for my creative juices. Another is that in this day and age this is about the only “cool” way for a guy to keep a diary. I go back and often and read stuff that I’ve written in the past so these types of lists I get a real… Continue reading
Just as the fall is synonymous with horror movies, the winter is for holiday movies (it’d be kind of silly to have a bunch of Christmas movies in mid August wouldn’t it?) So the first question we need to ask is how we’re defining a Christmas movie. For the purposes of this list I’ll define them as movies that are either set at Christmas time or are “about” the concept of Christmas.

Lethal Weapon (1987) – This flick is just AWESOME and if you have never seen it you owe it to yourself to get out there… Continue reading
I’m a huge fan of lyrical music. Sure a good beat and melody can get you moving on the dance floor, but for a song to truly “touch” me it’s got to have great lyrics. I’m also something of a romantic and a family man as you’ll see from my choices. There are quite certainly other songs that I love from a lyrical standpoint but these stood out as my favorites.
Colorful – The Verve Pipe This song was featured at the end of the highly underrated Mark Wahlberg movie Rock Star. As a man who’s married to a… Continue reading
It’s been quite some time since I came up with any kind of a Top 10 list. I was flipping through the channels the other night in a hotel room and ran across First Blood on AMC. Naturally, I sat there and watched it till the end and it got me to thinking what a great era the 80′s was for action flicks.

Revenge Of The Ninja (1983) – When I think of “ninja movies” this is the one that comes to mind. Main character Cho (Sho Kosugi) swears off being a ninja only to be brought “out… Continue reading
