I’ve always been a lover of music. In addition to this passion, I’ve derived equal pleasure from a delicious beer. Coupling these two enjoyments yields an even greater degree of satisfaction. So it is my great honor to share my passions through a Sunday Morning themed beer review and song cover. Sunday Morning Stout – […]
CHERRY! vs. Cherry:(
Is is possible to not enjoy a cherry? Of course there must be a few people out there that don’t enjoy the tart/sweet combination. Or maybe the texture is off-putting to some? I love cherries. As you bite into one, the sweet, sugary juice that graces your mouth and simultaneously excites the sour/tart elements in your taste buds […]
Saved. For a better title later. Which I will never revisit.
Is less, in fact, more? I’ve always been of the impression that, the more descriptive, the most vivid and explanatory of adjectives used, an use of the most elongated sentences, would surely result in the most impactful communication. But this may not always be the rule in writing, nor in communication. It may be in […]
Sunday morning coming down
Like a reanimated corpse I shuffled through my apartment. I forced my recoiling synapses into firing directions that dictated my limbs to stuff laundry into a basket and tossed the detergent on top. The gym clothes were donned with abandon and my ambitions of cardio were feeling like a daunting proposition. Yet, driven by time […]
I see greatness in your future….
I love discovering new beers and new breweries. There is certainly something magical about initial discovery and a fresh experience that stirs curiosities and heightens anticipation. Some places, and brews, that I have experienced may have already been established, but my first visit to the scene, or the first taste of a beer from a […]
Tomorrow, when the sun comes up
The power inherent in words and communication is immeasurable. Wielding this simple, yet diversely functional tool of communication, we have at our disposal the ability to destroy. Alternatively, we have the building blocks of creation. We have the power to express all degrees of emotion, sadness, joy, melancholy, confusion, despair, frustration, fear, and anger. We have […]
It’s what’s inside that counts, right?
When branching out from commercial beers, many, many, years ago, one of my “mentors” was an acquaintance who I encountered through a summer job at a paper company. My only real exposure to craft beer had been Sam Adams summer beer and the impression that Rolling Rock was craft. He highlighted the trail and gave […]
Picture a Turkey
Everyone wants something. So pick the piece that you want most. Grab it. Tear and rend at the flesh. Grip, gnash, and tear it from sinew and bone and sate your hunger. Masticate with your incisors. Devour with your maxilla. Completely consume your prey. Rip it apart. Shred because that’s what is in your nature. J
Selfishness is Easy
Beyond ourselves, lies mystery. And in this maze, others selves dwell. Each of them, hands and arms extended, feeling their way towards answers. As we meet others we develop connections that help each other move through the labyrinthine challenges of what we consider life. Some connections we make to ease the strife of being […]
Actions or Words? Pick one please, to start.
“I saw your face listening to the words.” Initially this observation resulted in a chuckle or two, and a subsequent share on Facebook. And dismissively I filed this comment under the linguistic-blunder category. Yet today I have cause to revisit this comment. Though this wasn’t a comment I made, rather one that I received, my […]
