Am I too tall? Is she tall enough? Will she be able to balance in those heels?
Wow. Her legs are skinny. Not bad skinny, but when light hits them just below the hem in her dress make them look amazing, skinny. I’ve got to quit staring.
I can’t. Quit. Staring.
Its as if I’ve never seen legs before. Like ever. I’ve had fun at weddings before, but this is a...

AT&T just sweetened the pot for all of its iPhone subscribers. If you own an AT&T iPhone, you now get free WiFi access at AT&Ts 17,000 hotspots across the country, including at most Starbucks. Although just last summer AT&T teased customers with the same freebie service, only to put up a pay wall afterwards, this time it looks like the free...

Pour Me Some Strong Green Tea
I just want to wake up and read every page of my favorite newspapers, and highlight all the quotes I love from the classics that made me love storytelling, and dog ear the magazines that show folks prevailing and winning despite the odds being against them. I feel like I’m waking up from a coma, as if I’ve been sleep walking through life forever. Yes, that’s it I know what...
Ugh, the Proverbial Where Am I Going Post
I remember fondly the moment I realized my dad was a guy instead of a perfect super human parent dad, but rather than share that moment, I’d like to talk about the fact that there is nothing that shows the inner strength of a person quicker and more succinct than losing their spouse and soul mate. Hero’s let you down but if you’re patient enough they’ll probably reaffirm...

Without a doubt the Conneticut countryside is the setting she would’ve wanted. When I was with her earlier this last week, it was all she could talk about. As the river runs past her bedside window and the Winter slowly rocks itself to sleep, she left us, and I know it was as she would’ve wanted it. Her favorite season was the fall and her favorite place to spend it in was Conneticut....

Write a 175 page novel in 30 days. This sounds completely insane, but part of me really wants to give it a shot.
I’ve been wanting to try this for two years now. I haven’t had the structure of a workshop since I graduated a year and a half ago (?!!!!) and need to work toward a deadline. Why not?
I’m an idiot, but you know what.
I’m in.

Hey everybody, I’m really excited about this. Invisible Engine started working on this project back in May, but I would say that Sean originally conceived this idea as early as Summer 2006.
At first, when Sean came to Matt and I with the concept, we agreed initially that it was much too massive in scope to even try to accomplish. After all, we’re just three guys, and here was...

Quit complaining and mocking candidates you don’t like and umm, do something to get those you do like elected.
Its too late to do voter registration, but you can knock on doors, dial phones, and volunteer a ton of ways to actually make a difference.

Inspiration Please
I’m not sure if its the stimuli I’ve ingested over the last 3 weeks or the 1987 keyboard I’m typing on, but inspiration today surely has not come.
Which is, by the way … okay.
I’ll ask nicely again tomorrow, a little bit earlier and with a little more planning.
The results I reckon, will be better.
