Part of living mindfully is accepting the things that cannot by your own will be changed. It is with this knowlege that I arm myself whenever I venture to walk down Central Avenue, Albany’s main strip or any other part of the decaying corpse that we live in. In my heart, I love this city, [...]

I don’t know exactly why, but I felt lucky a few times this week so I bought Lucky 7′s scratch off cards from various convenience stops. Each time, however, I was surely mistaken, as I got nothing. Sure enough, I hate the lottery and rarely play it, particularly scratch-offs, but I figured I’d take a [...]

From the time that he announced he was running for Governor more than three years ago, to his shocking, embarassing political downfall on Monday afternoon, I never cared for Eliot Spitzer.

It’s not my last day at this place: I wish it were so that I could relax and recuperate from five months of some of the most boring days of my life. It’s strange, because when I look out the window I can see the street I was parked on January 6, 2006 when [...]

I suppose it can be. After a late night ice hockey game (I scored!), I still feel beat up and exhausted. Not really sure that there is much I can do right now. I’m getting a little down about the whole situation as far as searching for jobs is concerned. There are a lot of [...]
