Red Hot Business

The other night my too cool for school cousin Samantha, who is a freshman at the University of Michigan, shot me a near midnight text that she was heading over to Red Hot Lovers. Red Hot’s is far and away my favorite spot to grub in Ann Arbor and at that moment I was instantly [...]

It’s getting fishy

My apartment has a bit more life in it these days. A few months ago I bought a ten gallon fish tank and since then I’ve been creating one heck of an aquatic ecosystem. Paired with my new HD television, my optical senses haven’t been awed like this since my first visit to Scores. In [...]

Fratelli – Where everybody knows your name

I was walking home from the subway tonight after a killer day of work and decided to pick up food for a late night dinner (it was about 10:15). After some serious self-deliberation, I still wasn’t sure what I wanted to eat. I settled on Café Luka, which has quickly become my go to diner [...]

Crack Breaker for the CrackBerry

I use a Blackberry Pearl. It is my first blackberry and for the most part it has all the functions that I need in a mobile device. My major gripe is with the keypad and typing software. I’ve had the Pearl for over a year and I still struggle to correctly type certain words. A [...]

What’s The Deal With Ahmadinejad?

I follow current events and world news mostly through skimming through Time, Business Week and the Sunday edition of the New York Times. If I miss something that I feel is important I usually get the scoop from my dad. He watches the nightly news programs on Fox, MSN and CNN. I don’t have the [...]

Ouch!

These days I am playing on two softball teams and I also play in a wiffle ball league. That means I often have three games a week. Not this week. I’m on the disabled list with a bum leg. Last Thursday, I slid hard into second base. I usually wear sweatpants but it was kind [...]

The 21st Century Karma Test

I lost my cell phone on Saturday night. Left it in a freakin cab. I realized about 10 minutes afterwards and did the whole song and dance thing of calling the phone one zillion times. No dice. That never works. Like most technologically dependent drones, I’m a pathetic shell of my glorious self without my [...]

GNN Blazer Football Rules

I checked my voice mail tonight (which is a big task for me) and was pleasantly surprised to receive a hilarious message from one of my best friends from high school. He was impersonating our high school football coach. I never played football or lacrosse in high school so I don’t have a good Coach [...]

No-More-Hyphen-Names

I read recently that running back Dominick Williams was cut by the Houston Texans. You probably know Williams as Dominick Davis, his name before he was injured. He must have rehabbed really really well because he repaired his name in the process. Shortly after changing his name Williams/Davis told the Houston media, “That was Domanick [...]

Freak=Me

I do not want to get a haircut in 2007. I think about this very often. On a slow day I probably think about not cutting my hair at least 10 times. I realize this is stupid and wish I would think about world peace or self-enlightenment or get-rich-quick schemes instead. I don’t have a [...]
