Day 17




sometimes you just need time away from your life.


mid-day addition: i saw this and i have to share. while not a real music video, and is definitely not deserving of its own day, this is an amazing amateur video that deserves at least one viewing all the way through prior to thinking about booking a one-way ticket outta here...

Day 16

New Found Glory - Truck Stop Blues from Matthew Stawski on Vimeo.




mid-day addition: a discovery was made this afternoon. while making the drive from va beach to dc, my brother and i made a delicious find.

the northernmost zaxby's located in williamsburg, virginia.

he and i were shocked. the zaxby's has only been there for a handful of months. brand spanking new. we did some quality control and as expected, it was incredible.

if i were a chicken, i would be HONORED to be in a delicious zaxby's sandwich.

Day 13




and by the way, how creepy was the movie black swan!?

to be fair, i didnt have a firm grasp on the movie's plot when i saw it. after going back and watching the previews a bit more closely, i realize now that i should have seen the level of distubing-ness (not sure if that is a word...) coming. but alas, i fell into a false sense of normalcy during the first 30 minutes of the movie. i slowly began to fear the possibility that i just convinced my buddy to spend $15 on a movie comparable to center stage (still dont think i have made it through that whole movie).

and then... yikes. definitely got our money's worth... stuff starts moving that shouldnt move. animals begin developing out of things that werent animals. weird things with skin. bizarre and uncomfortable...

my buddy thanked me for catapulting him back to childhood when he needed to sleep with a nightlight.

Day 12




welcome back snow!!


kills my productivity, makes everything cold and wet, and everyone with whom i share the road with automatically becomes the worst driver...


and yet...


i love me some snow.


mid-day addition: sike! that was a lame snow storm. more like a slight accumulation of flurries...
