The Winking Lizard (Bedford Heights, Ohio)
If you’ve never been to the Winking Lizard (@winkinglizard on Twitter) you’re missing out. They’ve got some of the best wings in Cleveland, have several locations to choose from and have a TON of beers for your tasting pleasure. This year, I’m participating in the 2012 World Tour of Beers. This Petrus was #32 on the year.
Facebook. It’s a social networking site. I’m not going to bother explaining it any further than that cause if you don’t know what it is, you probably won’t be able to understand the explanation. I’ve talked many times about Facebook. I’ve said some good things. I’ve said some bad things. I’ve wondered how they do some of the things that they do. Today I’m back with a couple of Facebook pet peeves. If you’re a blind defender of all things Facebook then you should probably just move on… this one could get ugly.
“Liking” Your Own Posts
STOP THAT. It… Continue reading
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.
WrestleMania XXVIII (28 for you non-Roman numeral folks out there) will take place on April 1, 2012 in Miami, Florida. For the 7th time, Pip and I (and for the second year in a row, my brother Marko too!) will once again try to “walk that isle” and build… The Beeramid.
Since WWE announced it’s Mania main event the day after last year’s show (Rock vs. John Cena for those not paying attention), I figured we’d better get going and put together rules of engagement for the evening’s festivities.
This year, we’re starting something a bit different. Moving… Continue reading
There’s recently been a hash tag topic on Twitter called #100FactsAboutMe. The idea is to tweet 100 facts about yourself (I suppose). One afternoon I decided that this would be a great idea cause let’s face it… people want to know all about Chewie. So… without further build up here’s my list:
- I’m part of the @clevelanddotcom Twitter Twenty! #CLE20
- I live in Cleveland but I’m a Steeler fan. In my defense, I grew up in Pittsburgh.
- I chewed tobacco for 17+ years. When I quit I started http://www.killthecan.org/ to help others quit.
- I’m adopted. So is my brother… Continue reading
For the umpteenth year in a row, I’ve decided to go to Opening Day for my beloved Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. (Man… it still sounds weird. It’ll always be Jacob’s Field in my mind). I decided that I didn’t want to pay the ridiculous “convenience fees” by ordering my tickets online so I made my way downtown to the Progressive Field box office on a VERY foggy day in downtown Cleveland. It was so foggy that it looked like a scene straight out of Silent Hill. Thanks to tweep @AmandaKrupitzer for the reference. I really do try not to… Continue reading
If you’re a regular reader of the blog here (and probably even if you’re not a regular reader), you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Kevin Smith. Not only do I enjoy his movies, but his books, his podcast, Twitter, etc. I’ve often said that he’s the modern day George Carlin for the way he weaves words and that’s the biggest compliment that I can give him. Speaking of Carlin, one of the things that sets him apart in my mind is his stand up routine. If you’re a fan of Carlin’s stand up routines, you… Continue reading
I recently went on a quick trip to Vegas for work – in on Wednesday out on the “red-eye” on Friday evening. The show was great and I managed to get in a little bit of time at the tables which was nice as well. In preparation for my trip, I loaded up the iPod with quite a few flicks to make sure that I’d have plenty to keep me busy on the trip and associated layovers. I do have a couple of WrestleMania shows for The WrestleMania Project but I typically tend to take a lot of notes during… Continue reading
The Overuse Of LOL
I apologize in advance to those that this will offend. The language contained within will not be nice nor will it be “suitable for work” or for a child’s ears (not that you’re reading this blog to your child – boy would that be cool). With that being said… STFU.
We live in world today where the vast majority of our interaction is digital. 140 character tweets, text message, status updates, etc. It only stands to reason that some of that digital communication will be done in short hand so that we don’t have to go through the laborious task… Continue reading →
