Pet Conduct
Owning a pet is a great thing. Coexisting with animals is awesome. But there is such a thing as Pet Conduct. And by that I mean, you can be courteous to other people and not use the “it’s just an animal” excuse. I give you my situation: Next door there is a nice couple who own two yorkies. One’s name is Daisy. I know this because I hear it at least 3 times a day on the...

I'm a Christian. And you Hate Me.
Why do you hate me? Well not specifically you, but society. I’m hated because I’m flocked into that word: “Christians.” I was raised to believe that being a Christian is to be Christ-like. For those of you who didn’t know much about Chris Jesus, He was a great man. He preached the good word of His and our Father. He was the only man to ever live without sin. He...

Time To Make A Comeback
I’ve been neglecting this. For those of you that actually care and read it, I’ll be back soon with more stuff.

Blackhawks Barely Hanging On To Playoff Berth
It’s almost time folks. The NHL Playoffs are right around the corner. Literally, they’re pretty much right there. Last year ended as I had hoped, with the Blackhawks coming out on top over my least favorite team in the NHL (possibly the world), the Philadelphia Flyers. I like the Hawks. Always have, probably always will. As an avid Penguins supporter, I usually pick a team in the...

Red Wings Fan Base Disappointing
As an outsider to the Red Wing nation, and an avid Penguins fan, you might think my opinion of the highly storied original 6 NHL club to be tainted. I assure you right now, it is not. I’ve always looked at the Red Wings and their fans to be some of, if not THE, most die hard hockey community. I respect any club in the NHL and their fans (yes, even the Flyers) because I hold the same...
Snowed In.
For the second straight year in a row, I am officially snowed in. Not so bad as last year though, the wonderful city of Pittsburgh managed to pull in over 25 inches of the white almost exactly 365 days ago. No, this time it’s about a foot or snow. But there’s something to be said about being snowed in. It really kind of brings the thought to mind, “what if this was my life...

NHL 12 Wish List. What I'd Like To See.
The NHL franchise by EA Sports has been an absolute must-own ever since I can remember. My first game was NHL ‘93 for Sega Genesis. The game has undergone so many changes in adapting to the next gen consoles (as well as changing developers for a bit there) and it’s always been a blast. You can easily say that the current franchise run has been the most realistic adaption to the game...
Good Dude, Good Jams
My good friend Blake Martin just recently started recording some solo work. You may or may not know him, but he’s a member of a metal outfit A Plea For Purging. This music is a far departure from his normal material, but I assure you it’s to be taken seriously. Check out his very first original track, “Fragile.” If you love it as much as I do, give him a shout at...
It's a great time to be a fan of Independent...
If you’re a fan of lesser known bands and artists in the current state of the world, right now is a great time for you and your obsessions. With social networking hitting it’s biggest push yet, it is very attainable to contact your favorite artists on a personal level. MySpace has taken a back seat, mainly being used now as a place to put up new music and videos and updates that go on...
Letestu Nice Addition So Far, Makes Shero Look...
Most GM’s get the most attention when the NHL Draft comes around every year. Every selection has a watchful eye on it as fans, players, and NHL affiliates alike wait for their respective team’s GM to select the next superstar. But you rarely hear of the GM’s work outside of the draft and trades. Signing undrafted free agents is mostly never spoken of unless you’re a nerd...

I know I said I wouldn't but...
I’m going to jot down some of my personal thoughts since I don’t have anybody to talk to right now. I’ve heard before that you shouldn’t look into your past, but how can somebody learn to grow if they don’t? It’s odd. Mainly because it’s much easier to look back years from now due and thanks to social networks. Early college the rage was myspace, so I...
Review of For Today's "Breaker"
4.5/5
In the state of the scene, “Christian” bands are a dime a dozen. The guys in For Today look to show ‘em all up with their most recent endeavor, entitled “Breaker.” Whether or not you agree with the subject matter of the song, you have to appreciate the band’s ability to write good, honest hardcore (ish) music. While their last album (sophomore...

Spiritual Intellect
My heart is very full right now. I got the chance to see For Today live tonight with one of my best friends and brothers in the Lord God and am very overwhelmed by their performance. I saw a lot of people tonight praising Him and having a good time. I am very moved. But I am also thinking about some things regarding the position of God in other’s lives. I have many friends and people close...

Sergei Gonchar, a good fit for Pittsburgh?
With NHL free agency approaching faster everyday, the number one question on Pittsburgh Penguin fans minds is: “Will Sergei Gonchar put on a Pens jersey next year?” The usual talk within fan groups is that he, in fact, will not due to the rumored salary he is requesting ($6 mil. rumored). Nobody can really be sure, since it’s just a rumor anyway, but if that IS the case,...

Toy Story 3 and Jonah Hex
So about twelve hours ago, I was leaving the movie theater after witnessing the third installment of the Toy Story franchise. At the risk of upsetting some purists, it was indeed the best one. It’s always hard to top the first of a huge series such as that one. Heck, in reality, it’s usually hard to top the first of ANY series unless the first is absolutely terrible (I’m hoping...
