By the way, someone tell me exactly why I shouldn’t adore Tina Fey?  Because I can’t find a single reason.

Get this song outta my head!  I love this band!

Oh Mahmoud.

Sure, I guess if everyone was doing it, I'd jump off a bridge, too.

My New Year’s Resolutions.  Not in any particular order.  All of equal importance.  Except travel always ranks the highest.  Of course.

  1. Run a marathon in June in Alaska.
  2. Significantly increase my fluency in Spanish.
  3. Take a trip to either Latin America, the Middle East, or both.
  4. Learn to cook.
  5. Buy a bike and ride it more than driving my car.
  6. Travel more on the weekends.
  7. Eat better.
  8. Exercise more.
So far, I am failing at all of them, but it’s only January 3rd, and work is incredibly busy.  This is not a pattern, but merely an exception to the above-stated (about to be) norms.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

More than the photos, stories, and photo-inspired stories that I have from my weekendry and New Year’s Eve in my recent yet brief extra-American travels, I most notably returned toting this voice with which not even Kathleen Turner could compete. Excessive amounts of hard liquor, taken straight, normally turns my vocal chords into sandpaper, and that’s something of which I am well aware. But this time, the damage was excessive. Or perhaps it only seems that way to my ailing throat. And not at all hot.

But at least it doesn’t hurt.

Poor dude.  He deserves that dog and a yard.  Not to mention the bachelorhood, if a bad credit score was the only thing that would’ve kept him from marrying his supposed “dream girl.”

I am fascinated with this house and the story behind it, and the fact that an adventurous family paid $675,000 for it (first-time homeowners, to boot!).  I mean, it’s rich in historical value, and if I had the cash, I’d probably do the same - history falls by the wayside in the name of progress in this country every day.  I am a firm believer in preservation.  
The sheer magnitude of the project they’ve undertaken is awe-inspiring in and of itself.  It’s practically the epitome of a haunted house, smack dab in the middle of the Bronx.  The Bronx!  It’s clearly a throwback to the neighborhood’s better days.  Even in its dilapidated state, someone has been living in it for years and years, and all he seems to be able to say about it is, “You’ve got to get someone to clean those gutters.”  This truly astounds me.

There’s nothing wrong with losing your fangs every once in awhile.
