Today, at the gym, on the bike, as I have countless times before, you type in the time you want to ride it (60 minutes) and they also ask your age to compute what your heart-rate should be. This was the first time I typed in "31" as my age. As a result, my target heart rate went down from 124 to 123. If this continues, I can extrapolate that I will be dead before I am 154...

And here I am once again on the verge of being another year older. I think that I might do some reflection upon this fact tomorrow, on the day itself. But, for today, I figured that I would re-publish what I wrote last year. Last year was a big milestone. Last year I turned 30. This year is just one more year after that, so perhaps less to reflect upon... But, here's my reflection on February

So, yesterday, I wrote an e-mail to a sports talk radio show. Oh, I would have called and waited, done the whole "first time, long time" thing, but didn't get through. I feel like I'm somewhat better off for having merely sent an e-mail, but, it was more time consuming.I think I feel bad because it means that I let Colin Cowherd get to me. He was railing on the Mets, and how they play themselves

I have no delusions that there is much of anyone that was eagerly awaiting my return to the rather unillustruous world of blogging, as I can only confirm that three people had read it. Four if you count the strange spam-comment that was posted trying to wrest some of my hard earned money away from me.In any case, I feel like this is hardly the point, seeing as how blogging is something that is

So, two and a half months later and there is little blogging that has been done. I'm aware of it, and, there are a variety of factors contributing to this, none of them catastrophic or life-altering, but all of it keeping me incredibly busy, preoccupied and oftentimes out-of-state.But, I have a wealth of things that I would like to contribute to this blog, so, face front true believer, and you'll

I have so very much to say, and yet so little energy to do so. I was in the Twin Cities this weekend for a wedding between a dear friend and a musician whose work I have admired about as long as I have admired my friend.Details will remain somewhat sketchy, but will certainly be forthcoming. But, the brain may not function entirely well at the moment. For you see, Monday morning I woke up in St.

As an astute reader of mine surmised, I did, in fact, travel down to San Diego this past weekend. Why you may ask? Well, of course, for the sole purpose of taking in the visiting New York Mets. Unfortunately, having a real job -- particularly one with an unforgiving schedule -- I was only able to take in two games of the four-game set : the Saturday night game and the Sunday day game.But, it made

I would write about something other than the Mets, if only I could. First off, things are relatively slow right now. Secondly, the 2006 Mets are just THAT awesome. Yes, thoughts like that lead to an inevitable disappointment, but being 10-2 after a dozen games and being the first team in history to have a five game lead in the division after so many can only make one excited.The kind of games

...161 to go. The Mets began the 2006 season with a resounding victory in New York, and three of us here in Universal City, CA could not have been any happier. Well done, boys. It wasn't THAT they won, it was how they won. They certainly could have found themselves in a 10-2 hole, but also could have just as easily won 10-1. There were some ugly moments, and the play of the game turned out to be

When you more or less stick by a goal of barely eating anything that you actually enjoy, an afternoon spent watching NCAA with a single serving-sized bag of Baked Doritos and a Coke Zero can be oddly delicious...

I can't believe that I have gone for pretty much an entire month without posting anything on here. Now, granted, it was the shortest month of the year, but, that kind of flies in the face of my whole notion of blogging every day that I am thirty in this, year number one of being thirty. But, what's done is done, and I'm here today.As an aside, I think I hate the title of this blog. Anyone agree?

I titled this post "worldwide sham", but I am going to guess that Valentine's Day isn't something that extends all over the globe. Oh, maybe in Western Europe, but they all want to be us so bad that it hurts. Somehow, I doubt that Rite Aid in Burkino Faso has a whole seperate aisle of Valentine's Day greeting cards. Pretty sure that CVS Baghdad doesn't have a single Teddy Bear holding a heart.

Well, I think that the "Hooray for 30" train is officially pulling out of the station. I had a fantastic party at my apartment on Saturday night, which was attended with a lot of my personal A-list from LA, and made for a great night. This was the first party at our apartment, which went quite well, and despite lasting until 1am, there were no complaints from the neighbors, most notably "The

Well, the big day has come and gone, and I am still intact, none the worse for wear as a result of it. It was a fairly low-key affair, mostly because the big party will be this Saturday at my oversized Hollywood Hills apartment.The day started off well enough, when I found that my dear friend Beth at work had stopped off for a McDonald's breakfast for yours truly. Very sweet sentiment that made

The time is ticking away, with only a handful of hours remaining in my twenties. To be specific, there are 9 hours left where I am technically still 29 years of age. This is because I was born at approximately 4:30am Eastern time, which will be 1:30am my time. Hmmm... does that mean that being born on the East Coast dictates that I will turn 30 at 9pm my time, when it becomes February 8th in New

Okay, so, I have six days left of being in my twenties. Which, as alluded to in a previous --albeit elongated-- post, is not really something that is bringing me down or even remotely resembling a somber or sullen occassion.HOWEVER...I do feel as though there I really ought to do something before my twenties are a thing of the past. Ideas? Leave 'em on the comments section.In the meantime, one

I remember about fourteen years ago or so, there was a rather sizable uproar over the fact that the state of Arizona didn't observe Martin Luther King day.-Chris Rock did a great piece on SNL that year about how he was surprised that lazy-ass rednecks would oppose a day where they don't have to work.

Sometimes, I think that it would probably be great to be on a different year schedule than the majority of the world. I mean, there's the Chinese new year that falls after our "regular" new year, and of course, the Jewish New Year, so, that way, you could completely ignore the changing of the calendar page from December to January. I mean, what is the difference between today and a month ago? I
