Hey look! I have a blog!

Alright, so I completely forgot that I have a blog.  I haven’t posted since LAST YEAR.  Yeah, it was December, tail end of the year, but still.  Last year.  It’s mid-April now.  I haven’t touched this site in more than five months.
That’s just sad.
Life just kinda does this shit to you, you know?  Where you […]

I am now a columnist!

Click the post title to get to the link.  Something’s wonky with this template.
Rule number one: Don’t talk about Western Springs
The fun never ends with me, does it?  That is a link to the first in hopefully a long, long line of columns I’m writing for my local paper.  In the paper version, there’s a […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

That’s it.  Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope you have lots to be thankful for.  I sure as hell do.

A New Project

In lieu of working what some people would qualify as a “job,” I’ve decided instead to devote a great deal of my free time (it’s all free time, I suppose) to digging up information on my antecedents.
I’m your typical American mutt–I’ve got blood from Italy, Ireland, Denmark, Poland, and Germany coursing through these veins.  You throw […]

What the Hell?

I know that’s what you’re asking yourself.  What the hell happened to this blog?  Well, I’ve decided to make a few changes.  A fresh start, I suppose.  Whether that guarantees I’ll actually post once in a while remains to be seen.  I sure hope so.  I miss my blog!
I briefly thought about abandoning all of […]

Me on TV

Yep!
I will be appearing live on msnbc tomorrow, sometime between 11 a.m. and noon CST, talking about the response on Newsvine.com to the Democratic Debate happening this evening.
Live. On television.
Hopefully, there will be a link available to video of my appearance, and if so, I will post it here. But I fully expect […]

Frank Crist, February 23, 1973 - October 17, 2007

Frank was my friend. And now he’s gone. He’s presumably floating around wherever atheist anarchists go for the rest of eternity.
The first time I met Frank was on the first day of a class we took together. I walked in and saw him–all lanky, sexy and messy–and thought, “Who is this guy with the tattoos […]

Lollapalooza 2007–The Solutionists

Hello! Bad journalist alert!
I didn’t get everybody’s name. I got Perry Farrell’s name, duh. And Ted Leo’s and Tom DeLaughter’s of The Polyphonic Spree names, but I didn’t get the name of the guy doing the “interview.” His first name was Andy, and he was some kind of music critic from […]

Lollapalooza 2007–Interview and Set Review–Peter Himmelman

It was the first set I listened to at Lollapalooza, and was to be my first interview. Ever. So, understandably, I suppose, I was a little nervous. I don’t know why I should have been. The man who stood on stage was so personable, so friendly and kind and so thoroughly […]
