The mention of John Berryman from this song was bugging me. So I looked it up on wikipedia. He was an American Poet who committed suicide by jumping off the Washington Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lyrics:
The Devil and John Berryman took a walk together
They ended up on Washington talking to the river
He said “I surrounded myself with doctors [...]
So I got a call from an opinion polling firm on sunday night. I spoke with 2 employees of the Western Watts company of (according to my caller ID, tele:9282683060.) Flagstaff Arizona.
I’ll admit that I knew pretty much immediately that I was getting push polled. I don’t know a solitary soul in Arizona and I [...]
Earlier this week, I stumbled upon this article on digg. Short summary: Ridley Scott is making his first sci-fi movie since Blade Runner and Alien, based on the Joe Haldeman Book, The Forever War. This was the movie he was gonna make after Blade Runner, but something happened with the rights to the book and [...]
I’m doing a separate blog for training and dieting, in which I will try to be honest about the amount of training I’m doing and exactly what kind of food I am eating. It’ll give me a chance to use the wordpress.com account that I’ve had for like 2 years and barely looked at.

So, going thru my google analytics, I was seeing all this traffic to this post I wrote almost 2 and a half years ago. An uncanny amount. Why?
Well, the content of the post was about a ride I did. I included an image of a 9mm bullet that I found laying on the street. If [...]
Random #1: My wife expressed a vague interest this week in possibly moving to a quiet neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia. She was working on Saturday, so I took the boy for a drive out there, so we could walk around.
I got out of the car, rounded a corner and ran straight into a historical re-enactment [...]
I went. It was actually really cool.
