We can drink our way out of this mess

About Me

A product of a public education in Rhode Island, I amazingly graduated from the University of Kansas in 4 years. I ran a lot, drank a lot, and drank some more. I also wrote an article in the student newspaper about the Dole Center being invaded by mountain lions; I consider it the most groundbreaking journalism that rag has ever printed.
I realized after graduation that when the Canadians eventually invade, my easiest escape would be on the high seas. I figured moving closer to the ocean was a necessary; so I relocated to Boston because I enjoy cold winters, overpriced apartments, and archaic traffic patterns. However, I love that dirty water.
I moved to Tampa with nothing but the clothes on my back and heart full of dreams.*
After getting Lightning fans sufficiently drunk for a few months, I got a job as a promotion coordinator and have been passed around like a cheap whore across the stations of Clear Channel Tampa. From country, to sports, a brief stint at urban (awkward, I know) and then on rock, I've managed to stay employed. I'm married to my job, its a lot like Whitney and Bobby's marriage, you know with the abuse and everything but the crack.
I like black 'n tans, loose women with tight schedules and 25 cent wing specials. In my free time, I play hockey in a men's league and attempt to get back into competitive running shape. Water, hops, barley, and yeast has hindered the process to some degree.
I work a lot around people so I tend to find solice in my living room. Although I've managed to fit a kegerator and a bubble hockey table in there, so its not all bad.
Thank you, come again.

American Idol: Season 7 finalist breakdown

Yes.  I watch the show.  Why?  Because I like making fun of people with more talent than me.  Now, my thoughts on Season 7's contestants... Alaina Whitaker She's my favorite of th...

What do Jay and the Dolphins have in common?

Both don't score all that much... I just got done watching the debacle that was MNF between the Dolphins and Steelers. I worked a broadcast at Shula's Steak House beforehand.  They feed me so its...

The ass crease in my couch must mean one thing...

It's March Madness! Because I've watched all the other KU Touney games alone, on my couch, with Budweiser, I figured I'd do the same.  Only, I've come up with some one liners that no one was arou...

It wouldn't mean as much if I were a Johovah's Witness

Don't do it.  Just don't do it.  Sending a text message that says "Merry Christmas" is the equivalent to being a Special Olympian... sure, the effort was there, but its not quite as&nbs...

Dane Cook's not funny

There.  Let me be the first to say it.  He's just not fucking funny anymore.  Sure, I loved 'Harmful if Swallowed.'  But even I went home with the Prom Queen one night. After endu...
