I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I don't know; Tell me what you think.
Someone who every once in a while wants to get off the information superhighway and own a bar and relax. Then I realize that as much fun as I would have writing stories about the people I would meet, I would get bored and want to find the next adventure.
Already living a great one; Bronx, NY native, lived in Savannah, GA for 11 years and now one of those people that most hate because they love what they get up in the morning and do, everyday (except when vacation time rolls around) while living in one of the cooler cities in the Southeast: Birmingham, AL.
Those that really know me also know I am pretty opinionated, so I got on board this whole blogging thing:
http://dresramblings.wordpress.com
I'm also running an online newspaper focused on Birmingham, Alabama specifically:
http://bhamterminal.com
I figure let what happens next happen and to enjoy the moments that are given to you. I just need a place to vent every once in a while when the moments or thoughts warrant.

My Interests

Baseball, running, hiking, biking, gardening, photography, playing guitar, poetry, writing, meditation, long road trips

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, new acquaintances and people to share new adventures with. People who every once in a while like to slow down and enjoy life, look up and see what's going on around them.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

There's way too much going on this weekend

So after posting to the other blog about all of the stuff going on this weekend, I realized that it's a little on the crazy side in terms of stuff to do in the next few days. It's also made me realize...

A Friday vent after a long Thursday

I've always heard that you can be in a crowded room and still feel like you're the loneliest bastard in the universe. Last night was one of those evenings for me. I got to attend an incredible concert...
