Yesterday was only the start! →
So yesterday I posted about a fantastic charity album called Do Fun Stuff. A lot of people reposted it and I am grateful that you guys are helping a friend of mine do something amazing.
And here is how amazing: http://pacingthepanicroom.blogspot.com/2010/08/look-at-what-we-went-did.html
Yep…#1 on the kids album for day 1. Which is pure awesome, but let me be realistic here for a second,...

Do Fun Stuff - The album for kids AND parents →
So a friend of mine and his wife have a son who was diagnosed with a rare disorder called Smith Magenis Syndrome. Instead of moping and blaming the world, he put together an amazing benefit album that is good for parents and kids.
My brother has a daughter (my niece, go figure) and I love her dearly. I got into his car once to go eat some food with him and I’m not sure what album came on,...

Another bourbon post
I’ve been messing with cocktails lately, mostly with bourbon since that is what I have most readily in my house. Currently, I have:

I have friends that inspire me
These are two of them:
Ryan Marshall, Pacing the Panic Room
Ryan used to be my boss. I used to play in a band and played his, at the time, tiny bar near UCF called Backbooth. Then when I heard they were moving locations I walked in and said I wanted a job. They all looked at me and allowed me to be a barback. It remains to this day the only job I have every been fired from. I like to hold that...

Convention Update
I love conventions, I really do. There’s just so much going on all over the place and this past weekend, I not only turned 30 (gracefully), but I had the pleasure of joining my best buddy Scott at the Star Wars Celebration. I took many cosplay pictures and got to sit in on one of my favorite shows panels, Robot Chicken. I will be finishing my long overdue comic-con blog, and possibly sharing...
