Top 10 Reasons You're Not Going To Miami This Year →
It’s that time again. Winter Music Conference is going on down in Miami as we speak. I attended from 1996 through 2006. A went 2002. I’ve already gotten a lot of text messages asking if I’m around from various people I met through the years of working in the business. And one party has me on a flyer as spinning even though I never confirmed with them. I’ll post that in a...

Absolutely brilliant! We’ve been waiting 15 years for the follow-up to Use Your Illusion. What the fuck has AXL been up to besides getting fat? :) Dr. Pepper knows it’s giving away 300 million cans of its product and that’s a good thing for a brand that has always played third place to Coke and Pepsi. - G
When She's Hot and He's Not There's Better Room... →
I agree with this one. A is hot. Plain and simple. She’s cute, she’s a honey. She’s beautiful. Every morning she looks awesome. I am so-so. But that’s a good thing! :) I know a lot of guys who have told me I have a hottie for a wife. I like knowing that I can ugly myself up some more due to this study. Maybe go and eat that donut I was thinking about this morning. Maybe not...
If it sounds like Geoff, is it Geoff? Thanks Mom...
Here we go again. The sporting equivalents of uppity vegetarians, wine-tasters, cineastes, dog snobs, will be telling us that soccer is a world language we simply must learn, as concerned citizens of the planet, as cognoscenti, as decent blokes and as international business dealers — what if a colleague from another country asks us what “nutmeg” means and we don’t know it...
“I’m so sorry Geoffrey. You Dad was a great man. I’m proud I got to...”

Consumer confidence plunges in March →
Well well well, looks like NYC is going to the dawgs. It’s going to be an ugly city in about a year. Or a great one due to the fact all these suits and ties who’ve run the cultural aspect of the city have been sent packing. The problem is the economy in general has been sent packing too. Ouch! - G

For Grief
When you lose someone you love, Your life becomes strange, The ground beneath you becomes fragile, Your thoughts make your eyes unsure; And some dead echo drags your voice down Where words have no confidence. Your heart has grown heavy with loss’ And though this loss has wounded others too, No one knows what has been taken from you When the silence of absence deepens. Flickers of...

Spitzer Resigns but why did his Wife Stand By Him? →
“She was in crisis mode. She was like a mother bear protecting her cubs. When crisis hits, you do what you think you need to for your family. Later, you can step back and think about protecting yourself.” - Donna Webster, a 59 year old product development executive from Boston What does this say about women? Why do they stand by after they’ve been humiliated? A would never...

A Conversation Between New York City, Boston and...
New York City: Boston! Hey, how's it going, dude?
Boston: Hey man, I'm good, you?
New York City: Can't complain. Oh, I forgot to ask you last time we...
*New Haven runs into the room*
New Haven: Hey yooooo! 'Sup dudes?
New York City: Ugh...Hey, New Haven.
New Haven: Hey yourself. Sup Boston, too cool to say hi?
Boston: Yeah, I am.
New Haven: HA! Eat a dick, BUTTston! Ah, the big three, back together again. So, what's on the agenda, gents?
New York City: Well, I was just going to ask Boston about his marathon this year. I wanted to make sure we didn't plan them on the same weekend.
Boston: You're doing the 14th, right?
New York City: Yeah.
Boston: That should be fine. I'm doing the...
New Haven: Whoa, the 14th? Hate to rain on this parade but I've got a 5K that weekend. It's pretty big. A couple hundred people turned up last year and WEBE108 was broadcasting from the finish line. I wouldn't want you to lose any tourism dollars so maybe you should move yours?
New York City: Nah, I'm good. I'm sure I'll still get a decent turnout.
New Haven: Word, word. So BUTTston, what's new? Any new boyfriends?
Boston: Hey, New Haven, how's your arena?
New York City: Hey...come on, man...
Boston: What? He's a grown up.
New Haven: It's, uh...Well, funny thing, actually. I tore it down or whatever. I was bored with it.
Boston: Oh wow, you just tore it down all on your own? Not because it was a blight on the community? Not because it was home to a whopping zero professional sports teams?
New York City: Alright, that's enough.
Boston: Fine...fine. I wouldn't have to be like that if someone would realize when he's not wanted.
New Haven: I'm just as much a city as you are, BUTTston!
*Providence runs in, grabbing New Haven.*
Providence: It's not worth it, man. You've got Yale, you've got good pizza. Who cares what Boston says? Let's go, ok?
New Haven: Yeah...yeah, fine.
*New Haven and Providence leave.*
New York City: Dude, you two need to learn to get along.
Boston: Whatever. He's just a pain in the ass. You hear that, New Haven? You're a PAIN IN THE ASS!
*The basement door swings open*
Philadelphia: YO! Shut the f*ck up, man! You're being loud as hell.
Boston: Oh my bad...fag.
Philadelphia: What?
Boston: Nothing.

Good job W! If there’s anything you’ll be remembered for it’s people paying $5 a gallon for gas, no energy policy and no incentives on mileage per gallon for the Big 3 automakers. - G

more city love.
Interesting. Don’t know the original theme to this conversation but as a resident of NYC since 1996 there are a few things to consider when you are eager to live in NYC and those would be: 1. You like being in loud places. NY is one of the top 10 loudest cities on earth. I wear earplugs when I go to work everyday. A passing subway train is 125 decibels of screeching metal which slowly erodes...
Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer aka "Client 9"... →
Spitzer supports Hillary. I bet they are trying to spin it and say he supports Obama this afternoon. New York politics is dirty like a filthy whore (no pun intended). Do we really want a (faux) New Yorker running the White House? - G

allison: wow...what else is on?
Tonight
Geoff and I are going to see Sia perform. The tickets were courtesy of one of my new co-workers who is the Site Director. She couldn’t make it to the show anymore so she asked if anyone wanted them, and I heart Sia so I told her so, and she gave them over to me for free! I thought that was really nice, considering that if faced with the same situation, I’d probably try to sell the...
