I still have a few assorted memes and awards to post about, but this latest one is a bit time sensitive as it relates to the New Year's Holiday. And seeing as how it's only about 2 weeks into January, I better do this one now before I blink and it's suddenly June or something. Continue Reading

Growing up in the '80s, we had our fair share of bowling alleys in the county. And for some reason, I always loved going bowling. My dad was really into it, and even had a few trophies around the house. Actually my older sister liked it too. We'd all go as a family pretty often Continue Reading

Strap yourselves in, kids... it's time for another knee-slapping adventure of "Embarrassing Tales of Andrew's Youth." This one comes courtesy of my older sister Beth, who's a huge Boy George fan. Me, I never liked the guy. I hated all of his songs with Culture Club, thought he looked completely ridiculous and every time I Continue Reading

I was pretty lucky as a kid. I grew up in a nice neighborhood and had 3 pretty good friends within a block of my house. The four of us pretty much just hung out everyday doing the usual things boys do, most of which involved riding bikes or playing superheroes. My best bud, Ethan, Continue Reading

I'm pretty open when it comes to trying new foods. I love sushi (and not just those measly California Rolls, but things like eel, scallops, surf clam, you name it), was surprised at how good an ostrich burger is, and even spent a few years doing that vegetarian thing so tofu isn't like poison to Continue Reading

While Saturday night was quite bitter indeed (after riding the emotional football roller coaster that my beloved Steelers took me on... getting blown out early, then coming back from a NINETEEN POINT DEFICIT to take a 1 point lead and actually get within one play from locking up the game and the win... only to Continue Reading

Who remembers Flintstones Vitamins? No, not the crummy gummy ones they have now. But the classic super-compressed sugar shapes of Fred and Barney. I think they used to come in purple, pink and orange if I'm not mistaken. I loved those as a kid. Granted we only got to have them once in a while. Continue Reading

So there's a new Indiana Jones movie in the works. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is set for a May 22 release. Yeah Indy's looking a little old these days, but once you hear that familiar theme music playing and the crack of his whip, tell me you're not gonna rush Continue Reading

I was tagged for the 7 Things You don't Know about me meme oh, only about a month and a half ago by meta-DAD. I blame 2007. Or society. Or both. But it's a new year and while I never make any Resolutions, I will try my darnedest to stay on top of awards and Continue Reading

Before I blink and realize it's a few days into 2008, I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year!!! I apologize again for the lack in regular posts on here, but the flurry of coupons/sales/deals during the holiday season goes right on through the end of the year. So by Continue Reading
