Baseball season is almost here again. Time for another Phillies victory. #TheresAlwaysThisYear
It's the second day of what's being called "Occupy Philly," a 99-percenter movement spawned from the spirit of "Occupy Wall Street." For those of you who haven't been following the events, they are essentially a rallying cry across the country for accountability from the top 1%, the wealthy, the bankers, the business owners--more specifically--the companies… Continue reading Occupy Philadelphia Pushes Forward: Day 2
from HotDamnItsKari. Fox 29 in Philly made all the celebrity junk news and comedy shows this week when anchorman Mike Jerrick ridiculed the Kardashian sisters on Good Day Philadelphia. It was a triumphant achievement for our fair city, and I hope they throw him his own private parade during or around the time of the… Continue reading Proud of Fox Philadelphia (for the moment)
Though I'm not a complete pussy, an obnoxiously grandiloquent gay, or a woman...I just don't typically get into most sports. There's something about the pools of raging testosterone which--for the most part--I simply never found appealing. So, if there's a particular sport you don't necessarily like, good ol' Mr. G's got some simple solutions to… Continue reading Pretending to Like Sports: 10 Rules to Avoid Humiliation
Following a severely damaging loss by the Phillies on Halloween night, I couldn't bring myself to feel much more than a long line of painful fucking disappointments. What's the old saying? "When life gives you lemons...kill yourself." This all spawned from one deep and emotional conversation involving a childhood memory and a long strand of… Continue reading On Life’s Major Disappointments
Let me tell you the story Of a bearded Hipster and his tragic and fateful time... Hipster grabbed his bike and kissed his Vegan Girlfriend Went to ride on the Frankford Line Did he ever return, No he never returned And his fate is still unlearn'd He may ride forever On the Market-Frankford He's the… Continue reading Hipster on S-E-P-T-A
It's Summer; and that means it's time to play ball! I'm not a huge sports fan (by which I mean, I'm not really a sports fan at all), but Baseball has always held a special place in my heart. You can watch anyone play it and it's enjoyable (even kids...especially when you're 6-beers deep, yelling… Continue reading The Gay Ol’ Times
It's no secret that we live in a world of excess. The zeitgeist indicates that we are no longer content in simply being good or even great, we need to be better--do more--even if that means dangerously shoving ourselves past the points of logic, common sense, and personal ability. I'd like to focus, for the sake… Continue reading What the Fuck Happened? Actors Turned Musicians
So March Madness has come and gone, and for the first time in many years, I actually didn't blow five bucks to make a totally arbitrary guess as to who would take it (nor did I contribute to the billion dollars in lost revenue due to workers following games). This is probably mostly because I'm… Continue reading Mascot Madness
Let me start off by saying that, in general, I think drugs are bad. Not the kind you get from your doctor, I'm not getting all Elron on you here....but recreational drugs. But let's face it. Lots of us do drugs. We drink at night, and have our coffee in the morning. Some of us… Continue reading The War on The War on Drugs
This afternoon, I'd like to take a little while and talk about why Philadelphia, the great city where I was born, raised, and continue to live, is the greatest city in the world. Scoff, laugh and shrug, but stay with me on this one... 1) Crime - In 2007, Philadelphia had a murder rate of… Continue reading List-o-Ramma! Why Philadelphia is one of the Great Cities of the World
Just two weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles were left for dead. Andy Reid, fired. Donovan McNabb, traded for a bag of footballs. And the inevitable handing of the torch to Kevin Kolb was the only logical choice. This team could never win with McNabb as quarterback and had no chance of making a deep playoff… Continue reading Eagles Continue “Miracle Year” for Philly Sports
Well now, it looks like I've finally lived to see our city win a championship, its all the more special being the Phils, a team I've watched and loved as long as I can remember. Checking out GoogleNews and the blogosphere, it looks like pretty much everything has already been talked about; the great plays,… Continue reading Fightin’ Phils!
