Ever wake up and feel old?

So the fall-under-the-car episode hasn’t treated my body so hot. Strained a couple muscles in my back. I got out of bed and could barely straighten my back out. Trying to put my shoes on? Hah! Joke. Where’s my Icey-Hot? Last night was dive bar night. Love when you can find local hang-outs less than 10 people, cheap beers, and the bartender (Thanks, “Eh”) is more than willing to do a...

About last night

(Message: I’ve been on tour — In my opinion, I think it was jail — for the last 8 months, and decided to call to see how you’ve...

In the meantime, Clevelanders, pick up an issue at your local bookstore, and read all about...

Pursuit of your beer money

Tony M from The Blast Furnace made an interesting discovery of my site while entering in his Google seach term of choice: *”Life Liberty Pursuit of” Beer Money Cleveland* Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Your Boyfriend – Blog from a recently (and apparently somewhat reluctantly) displaced Clevelander. Extensive archive, lots of eye candy. Proof that not all Cleveland women have mustaches and...

2-double-O-5

In anxiously awaiting new opportunities of the new year, I have felt the need for constant reflection on all that I’ve accomplished in 2004. Everyone in Web-land seems to have a “Top 5″ of 2004, here’s a few moments that are not equal to five: - Courtesy of “Life, Liberty, and Pursuit” I’m recognized at venues across the Cleveland area from strange men… and...
