Fear has found itself alive, again. And it’s new corridor comes to us in northwest Connecticut via a hangover I honestly believed was cured four years ago when the Greatest Fear-Mongering Box of Rocks was heaved from Pennsylvania Avenue back to his ranch in Crawford, Texas. I’ll admit it. I was wrong.

“Bloom where you’re planted.” If I had a nickel every time I heard that phrase in my lifetime, I’d have a reason to retire. But, since the whole economy thing is in the drain and no one is giving up nickels, and I personally can’t stand “What if..” statements, I’m not going to focus on… [Read more…]

Ambition is desire. It’s the feeling inside of a person longing to achieve something great, whatever it may be. Ambition is one of those things that will drive people crazy, ruin their lives and push them to the edge. In short, ambition sucks just as bad as leprosy. I would know.

You know those cheesy old 50′s-looking ads? They have the “Smiling Bob” guy giving a thumbs up, with some headline like “It’ll blow your mind!!!” That’s how the title of this blog is supposed to look.

*DISCLAIMER: If you were looking for a blog about football, this is not it. This is my obscure view on the NFL’s version of Tim Horton’s Brier, just not as cool. No, literally… Not as cool. In fact, it’s much warmer. Originally, I was going to call this entry “The NewKid’s Take on America’s Favorite… [Read more…]

OK, Torrington. I have a bone to pick with you. Actually, I have three. The problem however, is I don’t know where to begin. So let’s go with the scapegoat we like to call “weather.” I realize I’ve written a blog about weather, but whether you think you can weather a new one, at least… [Read more…]

Originally, this blog was going to be about something stupid involving living alone and eating canned beans and weenies. Don’t worry, don’t worry, that will still come some day, but for now, we’ll go with this topic. I had something happen to me today that I believe is worth “noting.” In my travels out and… [Read more…]
