Mid-Week

I still can’t believe it’s only Wednesday. I’m feeling so tired, and beat down, surely, it must be closer to Friday than this?  In any regard, I didn’t want to post just so I could bitch and moan.  I wanted to just write down some of the thoughts that greeted me upon waking this morning.
Soon, [...]

So, this show is a second-take on what I was intending to post.  For some reason, the earlier show I recorded didn’t come out so good, so you now get to hear me in the afternoon.  There’s a little more energy, and a better mix of music.  Please be sure to check out the blog [...]

Tuesday Morning Random Ramblings

I woke up today with no intentions.  I mean, normally, I wake up, make myself a cup of coffee, and sit down in front of the computer with the intention of putting some more words down, or catching up on the blogs I follow, or even just getting my iPhone updated.  Today, though, none of [...]

One of the “5 for ‘10″ to watch, according to the Boston Phoenix:

Joe (pictured in the glasses) is one of the circle of friends that Nate and I have recently joined.  I highly recommend visiting the band’s Myspace page (see the link to the right), and following them on Facebook. You can read more about [...]

SoundByte 54 Mid Winter Vacation Show

Today’s show is a reflection on the vacation that Nate and I took to mark our 9th year of being a couple. I also talk about where I’m at in my head, and where I am with regards to school, politics, and being social. It’s a reflective show, and a little random, but [...]

A Week Beyond

So, I know, I know…I’m overdue for a podcast.  I promise, there will be a show this weekend, and probably an extended one.  I’ve got so much to catch you all up on.  This morning, though, I wanted to just get some stuff out in writing, and see where it takes me.
A week ago, Nate [...]

Having Returned

We needed that.  We needed the chance to re-connect, to break away, and to take  a breath.  Our trip to Provincetown, MA over last weekend provided us with the perfect opportunity to do all we were missing during the holiday season last year.  We shared each other’s company, we got out in the fresh air, [...]

Before We Go…

So, before we head off to Provincetown, MA for our anniversary celebration/mid-winter break from reality, I wanted to do a quick blog post, and just share a few of the thoughts rolling in my head.
As most of you know, the Prop 8 Trial has started in California.  Though I’m very much on pins and needles [...]

Good Morning All! This show’s a bit different from the rest, thanks to Gavin’s great idea.  It’s a musical recap of 2009, and as you will note, it’s an hour long.  I hope you enjoy the music, and have a visit to the artist’s links that I’ve provided.  I look forward to another great year [...]

The People We Know…

So, since around Thanksgiving…actually, since we got back from Provincetown last October, Nate and I have made a concerted effort to get out and meet new people. Along the way, we’ve met some fantastic guys and been out to some of Boston’s best establishments that serve a good drink, and create a comfortable, relaxed [...]
