Gary’s shared linksI don’t know if it’s just me, or if this happens to everyone. But, frequently, when I hear a song, my mind has a little bit of a flashback to the first time I heard it. It’s hardly conscious; more often than not, I’ll be totally preoccupied or busy doing something when a song will [...]

I talk about my grandmom fairly often on here. If you ever wondered how old she is, I’ll tell you! She’s 89 today. Happy birthday, and God bless her.

I’m suffering through incredibly slow and unreliable Internet access. (I don’t know what has happened these past few days, but it’s terrible.) I’m spending my summer at my grandmom’s. But most importantly…. THE HERSHEY BEARS HAVE ADVANCED TO THE CALDER CUP FINALS, AND THEY’RE PLAYING THE HAMILTON BULLDOGS! If anyone wants to join me out [...]

I was learning that I really enjoyed TV production, and my history teacher thought I had a real knack for the social sciences. In fact, she was so impressed that she had my high school nominate me for the New Jersey [...]

I’m a strong believer in living below your means. I have always done just that. When I was growing up, my parents both knew that my brother’s Christmas money would probably be gone by New Year’s, while mine might just last until the Second Coming. It’s not that I’m cheap; it’s just that I don’t want [...]

Yesterday, my Nana came home from rehabillitation. Today is the six-month anniversary of the date when I officially began taking care of her full-time. I feel like I should have something insightful and reflective to write. I kind of do, but I’m not in the mood. Instead, I’d rather leave you with…. Link du jour: [...]

The other night, after visiting my grandmom at the hospital, my mom and I went to Echelon Mall for some ice cream. I thought of a fun game to play: trying to name a store that previously occupied the location of all of the current stores. Strawbridge’s, Fashion Bug, Babbage’s, Xhilarama, that luggage place…. Combined, [...]

Disclaimer: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a drunk. That said, quite a while ago, I invented a new alcoholic drink. A shot, actually. Since I’m not a college fraternity brother, I’ve never seen any value in discussing shots, or liquor, or drinking exploits. Like I said, I’m not a drunk. But I [...]
