Make It 9 Straight For My Blazers
Last night my beloved Portland Trail Blazers beat the Toronto Raptors 101-96 for their ninth straight win. The youngest team in the league is shocking a few people this year at 14-12. Not bad after we started the season 5-12, and I think we were 3-10 at our lowest point. I personally didn’t expect the [...]

Recently I am beginning to come to terms with the fact that though I have a small circle of friends, my interests are completely different than everyone I know here and my life is going a different direction. That is okay though. I have taken a greater initiative recently to better my life and already [...]

I thought six hours of sleep was enough each night. Apparently not. Tonight I am gonna shoot for 7. On another note, thank you Nick Crider. You know what for.

I figured I’d take this post in a fun direction and post some videos of some guilty musical pleasures of mine. I will also give you all an opportunity to share what music you listen to but really wouldn’t want anyone else to know about…come on guys, we can all bond over this. Let me [...]

17 December 2007
Usually when I walk into stores, I can’t help but notice the music playing over the speaker systems. Sometimes there’s just one track that keeps playing in my head, so I’ll jot down the lyrics, do a search and download the track when I get home. Case in point was Saturday afternoon, when I heard [...]

16 December 2007
Yeah, I know I’m a little late on this, but it’s time for me to watch my first Christmas movie of 2007. Home Alone is the movie of choice tonight. Classic Christmas movie. Don’t hate. Today was a good day. I was accompanied by Jason and Amy, whom I met in Republic for pizza last [...]

16 December 2007
Today the snow started falling in Springfield and the surrounding area at about 1:30 PM, and though it didn’t pile up, it was fun to watch. We got about an inch if that, and it’s this real fine powdery stuff that makes driving dangerous because it blows all over the place and leaves patches of [...]

It is snowing. It is cold. I want out of the house. The roads are icy, canceling our Saturday night plans. I am about to go insane. –Chris Brewer, “A Collection of Poetry in Motion,” published 2007 by Poor Man’s Press. All rights reserved.

15 December 2007
None fell. Whatever that stuff was that accumulated on my windshield late last night…oh, that was SLEET. They’re calling for 1-2″ of the powder to fall today, but everyone was wrong last night and I’ll believe it when I see it. I have petitioned Santa Claus to put everyone who prays and asks for the [...]

14 December 2007
A couple of days ago it was confirmed that the Rose Garden in Portland will soon no longer be one of the few stadiums in the United States with no corporate naming rights. Apparently the bidding is open for a new name for the arena. So what to call it? Something unique to Portland, hopefully. [...]
