A Lie for a Lie (taken from my facebook)


A few days ago I asked the question Is it okay to lie to someone who had just lied to you? Earlier that afternoon I ran into a guy who lied to me and I in turn lied to him right back. Afterwards I felt ridiculous. There was no need for me to lie back to...

Sorting Ghosts (6-8-09)

Times have gotten pretty tough at work. Like much of America , retail just isnt what it was 5 years ago. To make matters worse, theres politics in this company that are right off the pages of any T.V. show script about evil, ignorant, vindictive people fighting for control and revenge. The end result is that weve had to look far and...

Dylan and the Angel (5-26-09)

Mama, put my guns in the ground he sings out as he stares right into the car waiting at the light. I can't shoot them anymore. The light turns green and the cars begin to move. That long black cloud is comin' down I scurry across the street and take a half look over my shoulder to see that he...

Crazy Eddie Time Radio

My annual return to the airwaves!

Listen this Friday (4/24) as I go back to the airwaves and Crazy Eddie Time returns for 2 hours during 91.3 WBNY's annual Alumni Weekend. I will be on after a metal show and before some electronic beats so the scattered beauty of college radio will be on full display that night.

In case you...

My boss is off for the rest of the week. It started with today. The big boss gave her some time off because she has been under so much pressure of late. Its hard being a record store, or whats left of a chain of record stores these days but its even harder to be one when...

What's on my mind (2-22-09)

things, trying so many activities and actually enjoying being active
for a change that I forgot how much I truly love to do nothing. Im a
sucker for simplicity. My typical day involves work and then coming
home to either decompress or relax depending on how the...

Eddie and the Ice Wall (1-27-09)


Its a place Ive heard about countless times over the years from friends and others; Chestnut Ridge. Growing up as a poor kid in the inner city we never talked about going skiing or sledding at beautiful suburban locales. It wasnt in our culture and wasnt anything we missed because wed never done it. If we wanted to sled,...

health food and reality shows (1-14-09)

Only a few hours ago I dined on organic blueberry almond oatmeal. The meal before that was whole wheat bread dipped into a roasted red pepper hummus. They were both things I bought, the oatmeal and the hummus. Also I bought the mini-carrots I will nibble on when I get home from work today. I know what you are...

This post was supposed to be my year end inventory. Its where I go on about how 2008 fared and where its at. The truth is Im still writing it but a funny thing happened on the way to getting it done. I started on that blog on 1/1 and got a bunch of it out but then the next day...

Six days (1-1-08)

Here are some recent journal entries to close out 2008. I write almost everyday and probably only share 20% of what I write with the public so here's a window of six days where I've made 4 entries.


12/27:

The weather today is extraordinary. It's near 60 degrees and those 2 feet of snow we only received a week ago are melting...
