Damn it’s hard knowing how to start this, and it’s not even a “tough” post. It’s a bit of fluff, to be honest. But still, it’s hard to convince myself this is really worth writing. It’s probably not, but that’s beside the point. I’ve said it one before, but it bears repeating: [...]

Image by Tojosan via Flickr Daddy has a new toy. It’s called Empire Avenue. Simply put, Empire Avenue is a social media stock market game, where you trade shares in people instead of corporations. Well, that’s not entirely true – WWE is the biggest earner in my portfolio. But that’s besides the [...]

I’m sure almost nobody was surprised that I’ve been on an unintentional hiatus, but I still want to apologize. There has been alot going on lately that I haven’t been able or willing to talk about but, unfortunately, completely dominated my time and thoughts.
