The Untold Story of Easter

So, this is about a day late, but I didn’t come up with the idea until late last night and needed some time today to flesh it out. What follows is the “The Untold Story of Easter” as excerpted from the Gospel of the Voice (“Matthew 2:11,” if you will). I’m probably going to hell [...]

A Note From the Editor

So, it has become painfully obvious that I do not have the time to be a full-scale blogger. I’m simply not into writing shorter, everyday peices. Rather, I’m much more comfortable writing more expansive feature articles (i.e. the Northford retrospective from a month ago) on a less often basis. In addition, I’ve really struggled to [...]

Skiing Naked to Deliver the Mail

There comes a point in every person’s life when they realize that things can be far more interesting without clothes than they are with them. Whether it is streaking, fornicating, creeping out the neighbors, exercising, or just sitting around the house in their underwear (or less), a lack of proper clothing holds a strange position [...]

After Nine Years, the Final Curtain Falls on Northford

If you ever find yourself driving north on I-91 in southern Connecticut, be sure to make a stop off at exit 11 (exit 12 if you’re headed southbound). Follow Route 22 East for a few miles, cross over the railroad tracks, and soon you’ll find yourself in a place where blue and gold once reigned [...]

Get Your iPod from a Rotating Corkscrew

Ah, the vending machine.
The overlord of the break room. The glowing ruler of the school hallway. A place to exchange your lose pocket change for a foil bag or plastic bottle full of tasty goodness. That is, until now…
According to this article in Monday’s edition of The Hartford Courant, Macy’s department store in the Westfarms [...]

Why Ohio State Didn’t Win

Well, it sure didn’t take long.
Only one day after taking a serious whooping at the hands of the Gators (see last night’s post for full analysis), Ohio State has determined all the reasons they lost the Bowl Championship Series National Championship game. That is to say, the Buckeyes have become making excuses. Lucky for us, [...]

CHOMPED!

It was exactly what everyone expected.
It was a blowout.
The best team in the nation proved it with authority, and made people question if the other team should even be there.
But wait, it was also so very, very different than what everyone expected. The three things mentioned above happened, but it’s not the red and silver [...]

Monday Night Madness

Tomorrow night, the #2 University of Florida Gators take on the #1 Buckeyes of the Ohio State University in Glendale, Arizona in the Tostitos Bowl Championship Series National Championship game. It is certainly tough to imagine this game living up to the Fiesta Bowl from a week ago (if you haven’t heard about the Boise [...]

Breaking Up Your Own Wedding and Blowing the Big Game

… And, we’re back. Yes, I’m getting lazy. That’s what happens over winter break. Oh well. This is the weekly awards post (back after a one-week hiatus). Also in the works is another (more serious) BCS National Championship preview post coming later tonight or in the wee hours of Monday morning. But for now, on [...]

Resolving to Keep Things Interesting

A very Happy New Year to everyone!
Now, count me in among those who just don’t get the New Year’s celebration. It’s a whole bunch of hype and buildup for what? Midnight? Whoop-de-freakin’-doo! I see midnight every night. Heck, some nights I’m just finally getting around to eating dinner at like midnight. It happens. So I [...]
