As one floats through their daily grind/existence (whichever you prefer) there is a beckoning toward an outwardness of the soul. If indeed the recognition of the soul is admissible. Most attribute this pull as a desire for release for the confines of the norm. Some feel that life as it exists is sufficient. Apparently these […]

Life Sucks
One of the more preeminent things on a persons mind is mortality. Will I live long enough to produce children? Will my children have their own progeny? Will my existence on this planet be a success? Do I feel I’ve lived a good life? By what measure do I evaluate my success? The innumerable questions […]
I’m gonna lose 15 pounds and feel great!
Ah the New Years resolution. It is such a noble pursuit. One sets a goal with intentions of betterment. That one day of willpower and determination causing loud booze-fueled declarations for change and alterations of 364 days of non-action. For those who actually recall their new years resolution, the success rate is 8%. Not a […]
Impending Ascent
Too often things that are readily available are taken for granted. The luxuries that we have at our fingertips are often assumed to be commonplace. We scramble like manic insects to reap our bread, milk, and eggs when snow arrives, Will the ability to generate french toast sustain us through the aggressive elements? We panic […]
Brumous

It was a short drive away and in a day sans the prevalence of cell phones might as well have been hours away. Yet, this was a cheap, easy departure […]
May nothing but happiness come through your door
Today’s title draws inspiration from the title of track 7 from the album Come on Die Young by Mogwai. The guitar riffs a penetrating, looping sequence, while the drummer and bassist maintain the constitution, and gradual build of the song. It slowly progresses to a gritty tensing climax of clashing symbols and teeth clenching guitar […]
Otto’s
Quick review today of a location and a few beers at Otto’s in State College. This was part of a trip to the Bryce Jordan center to see GodSpeed! You Black Emperor and Nine inch Nails. We had discussed a trip to Selinsgrove Brewing company, but realizing it was a substantial distance from our aim, […]
