My left shoulder’s been bugging me lately. Nothing major; just a twinge. But it it’s been enough of a twinge to wake me up in the morning and make me swallow some Advil, something I tend to avoid if I can.
How did I hurt it? Did I lift something that was too heavy? Throw a […]
You know those stock shots of fat people’s mid-sections that you usually see on the local news whenever they do a story on obesity?
I wonder if I’ve ever been in one of those shots.
I mean, the odds are pretty good, I’d reckon. I walk around a lot. I have a gut. It seems inevitable.
Maybe one […]
Ever think you’ve got the perfect subject for an essay or blog post, then when you actually get down to writing the thing, it comes out all wrong? That just happened to me tonight.
I was going to make some funny observations on how models are the best salespeople because they make even the boring clothes […]
I’ve heard that in order for your blog to have a realistic chance of being taken “seriously,” that you need to add at least three entries per week. As you can tell, I’m kind of falling behind in that regard. What can I say? I’m not really in a bloggery state of mind.

To quickly recap: Hancock […]
Most people who know me know that I’m not an idiot when it comes to computers. Far from it, in fact; before I decided to take on the quixotic task of making a living with my writing, I was an Information Technology wage slave, working for a certain company that will remain nameless for the […]
I am not shy to say that despite the fact that I’m a straight male from New Jersey, I’ve always been a fan of Gilmore Girls. I started watching the show in season two, mainly because I had an unyielding crush on Lauren Graham and enjoyed watching her in whatever failing TV show she was […]
In July 1986, I, like many Jewish teenagers in the suburban New Jersey and Westchester County — including, I found out 20 years later, a current friend of mine — took a series of “teen tour” trips, conducted by a company called Barron Tours. During those tours, I remember going to see Top Gun, listening […]
Actually, I do, but not because I’m going to miss Imus; I’m a Howard Stern loyalist, so my opinion is that the I-Man was a crotchety old fart that stole all of Howard’s best ideas to re-create a poor man’s version the King of All Media’s show (can you tell I’ve sipped from the Stern […]
