Folks,
While Whiskey plots his next late night phone call from the backwoods of Maryland, I thought I’d give you a much needed update. Yes I didn’t post about my third and fourth days at SCRA because I’ve written far too many introspective, depressing, overly emo posts and even I am sick of them! [...]

“Baltimore Knot”
Hello there, readers. Whiskey here. It’s far too early for a human being to be up, and I haven’t much time. Why, you ponder? It’s because I leave today for a camping trip in the wooded and scenic portion of western Maryland! Normally the concept of such backwoods “roughing it” is nothing more than mere [...]

“Drink’em down, we gotta ride, going through the lower east side, day or night, mags on the run, looking for trouble, looking for fun”
Yo! Live blog leaving the Garden State back to the Buckeye State.
***Day 5***
8am: Wine wakes up
8:30 am: Whiskey wakes up
9am: Load car, search for where to turn in keys for our dorm. Nothing listed. End up just leaving the keys in our dorm room with the door unlocked. Really, a microcosm of the trip.
9:35am: Whiskey: [...]

“Hanging on the corner of 52nd and Broadway. The cars passing by, but none of them seem to be going’ my way. New York City, where I wish I was on the highway…”
Hey there faithful readers! still with us? I’m back at home, and thought that describing my wild Day 3 and Day 4 of my recent east coast trip might be in order.
On day 3, Wine and I both woke up early for some bagels and coffee. Then, we went our separate ways. The university [...]

“Constructive Summers”
Folks,
Currently Whiskey and I are stationed at some random McDonalds parking lot siphoning WiFi from a Super 8 motel in order to get another post up. Out apologies for the not-so-daily posts. The place we were staying didn’t have wireless access and required us to buy an ethernet cable…right. So we’re going [...]

“I’ve never felt so strange, standing in the Jersey rain”
Folks,
Whiskey and I are sitting in Hamburg, PA at a Pizza Hut where we finally found a place that understands the term WiFi. We’ve been taking notes so far about the road trip and here’s the first mass update:
***DAY 1***
5:20am: “Woke up”
5:29am: Actually woke up
6:12am: Wine breaks the air mattress. We abandon it.
6:30am: [...]

We’re Still Around!
Folks,
Wine here. It has been awhile since either Whiskey or I have posted and just wanted to say we’ve been working hard. On what you might ask? Well about this time last year I ran an idea past Whiskey for a paper we could potentially get published. Now let me step [...]

“I feel there is an angel in me …whom I am constantly shocking” -Ferlinghetti
After a short absence, whiskey is back…2 posts in 2 days. you, loyal readers, are sure getting your money’s worth.
so being unemployed and lounging around the house all day, while at times boring and restricting, allows me to really put a dent in the ole “to read” list.
read this litte gem in a couple [...]

“‘When the man comes to the law, the door-keeper is already there. He is a servant appointed by the law; to doubt his status would be to doubt the law.’ ‘I do not agree with that,’ said K., shaking his head. ‘If we take that view, we must accept that everything the doorkeeper says is true. But you yourself have demonstrated in detail that this is not possible.’ ‘No,’ said the priest, ‘we must not accept everything is true, we must only accept it is necessary.’ ‘A dismal thought,’ said K., ‘it makes untruth into a universal principle.’” -Kafka
Loyal readers, hello. whiskey here. it’s been a while. Since our last encounter, I have…ahem…”witnessed”…some of the greatest, and yet, worst, professional basketball games of my life. so is the life of a clevelander. the perpetual underdog. except…we never win the damn championship. that 2002 buckeyes national championship doesn’t count. that was columbus’ joy. as [...]

Just Because I Feel Bad…
Wine here,
Those two videos still give me nightmares and give too much fuel to my own empty ambition of starting my own band. So here are some videos of bands that I think are vastly superior in every imaginable. These are all courtesy of La Blogotheque. If you want to check out [...]
