While TLC has its fair share of garbage shows like the infamously horrid "Toddlers and Tiaras," the notoriously controversial "Sister Wives," and the laughable yet lovable "Cake Boss" tonight my wife and I watched a new show that is pretty interesting. The show called "All-American Muslim" follows the lives of several families in Dearborn, Michigan …

death sucks
Today when I woke up I had hoped the news from last night would have changed. However, this morning only confirmed the truth I knew the night before, Ozzie Guillen is no longer the skipper for, in my opinion, the greatest baseball team ever to take the field, The Chicago White Sox. A lot of …
you are…
Although it is by no means early in the night I should be going to bed. I have to leave the house in less than 8 hours so that I can get my wife to work and then get back for class, all the while fighting the wonderful traffic of the city I love. Its …
never forget
I'm sure it was difficult for any of us to ignore or be ignorant of the significance of today. Turn on the TV, check the paper, watch the opening of the football season, go to church, and a whole host of other activities served to remind me of the date. 9/11. To be sure this …

This weekend, among other things, I will turn the ripe old age of 26. More and more it seems that I have become extremely reflective on my life. I look back at where I came from and my childhood and high school years seem like a distant memory. So much has happened, so many things …

thank you Sarah…
Tuesday of this week began like any other. I woke up early, as my wife and I have lost the ability to sleep in. I stepped out of the room for just a minute to find one thing or another and upon my return noticed a missed call and a text. Most days I tend …
it is what it is
It has been well over two weeks since I last stared at the blank box on the screen hoping to be imbued with some sort of coherent thought which may or may be of value to someone other than myself. While Id like to think I was too busy to take the time the truth …
the reality is…
I should probably be in bed right now seeing as I have to wake up in a little less than 6 hours to make the 12 hour drive back to Chicago from the "Commonwealth of Virginia." But instead of falling asleep my mind is running a muck and so here I sit before my computer …
let the adventures begin
Last night, as I attempted to finish the book I was reading, I found my eyes wandering from the sentence I was finishing to the toddler on the TV screen. One of my wife's guilty pleasures, and mine too, is watching trashy TV. In this case "trashy TV" manifested itself in the form of Toddlers …
