About Me

I'm Charlie. I'm 27 (goddamn you Jess, always busting my balls) and I live in the cultural mecca of the midwest, Chicago. If you are here you probably already know who I am anyway so I don't really know why I'm bothering to write in here. I think I'm doing it because it will fill up space on my page and then my page will look more impressive. I'm cynical and tend to get irate at really insignificant things. I'm a huge Boston Red Sox fan which probably explains both of the qualities I just mentioned. I tend to drink a wee bit more than I should, but this fault has given me a fine appreciation of Scotch, Bourbon, Wine and beer. When it comes to getting wasted I guess you could say I'm a Renaissance man. I can pontificate for hours about what makes a certain brand of scotch (for example Lagavulin) superior to others, yet I have also been spotted out and about chugging cans of American and Stroh's beer. I have a degree in history which basically means that I'm unemployed. World War II, The Civil War and the Soviets fascinate me. I like to watch, and every once in a while place a small wager on, college football. Someday I will own a bus known as the Tuddy Express that we will take to college football games all over the country. I think that's about all you need to know about me for now. If you want to know more go ahead and ask. I'll probably just ignore you or tell you to fuck off, but if you're lucky (ie. a cute broad) I might give you a real answer. Oh yeah, I'm trying to use the word broad a lot these days. I feel a lot cooler if I talk like I'm in a 30's film noir.I'm also totally into spending a lot of money on pudding and then making sweet love to it. I had the $240, you know I had to have the pudding.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Chuck Norris. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Patrick Bateman. Huey Lewis. Big Papi. And this guy. . .

My Blog

Well, well, well.  As I speak I am getting closer and closer to the end of my great ipod project.  I think we are about 6 songs away right now.  It's been a pretty interesting and crazy journey.  Musi...

Song 5000!

I just listened to song 5,000.  It was a bit disappointing.  It was Kid A by Radiohead.  It's a good song and all, I just wanted something that was much more exciting and hardcore. ...

music project nonsense

Hey there.  I was going to do some sort of update about life and what not, but I don't really feel like talking about other stuff.  Instead I just feel like updating everyone on my ridiculou...

After all of these years. . .

The song Punk Rock Girl by The Dead Milkmen still makes me kind of sad.  Especially when I'm already feeling nostalgic and I'm a bit drunk.  Oh well.

I’m a huge dork

I'm fully aware that I am a bit of a nerd, dork or what have you.  I'm not ashamed of this, nor do I think I should be.  I understand that I get really excited about little things that other...

Cold weather, football, coffee, and comics

Well, I guess I should have seen this coming.  So far in all 28 years of my life winter has shown up.  Sometimes it comes at different times and sometimes it shows up with a lot more author...

Election Night

Tonight is the night we've all been waiting for. What seems like 15 years of solid campaigning has all led to this. I'm nervous as hell and I have a doomed feeling in general right now. All of the ...

Congrats to the Phillies, Political Mumbo Jumbo

My last ipod related post led me to want to do the following when ever I blog, at least for as long as the project lasts.  I shall list the songs I heard while typing at the end of the post. ...
