After the weekend, I now understand how the Real World comes up with enough drama to make a television show.
On Friday I headed up to Vermont with 20 other strangers from Manhattan...

My Job
"I have a really weird job." I told this to my roommate yesterday after she observed some of the unusual, yet not so atypical activity surrounding my job.
Shannen nodded in agreement and then replied, "People's lives are your job."

Brenn
"Are you here for the 90s party?" 90s party? Ah, that would explain the background music - Criss Cross will make you - Jump Jump.
"No, we're actually here to see Brenn."
The hostess at Fontanas pointed us in the direction of a door located just beyond the pool table, explaining that we would find Brenn downstairs. So my roommie Shannen and I made our way to the door, and down the stairs to the basement. And as promised, we found Brenn.
I met Brenn two summers ago when I was in Nashville, co-emceeing a wedding with Lauren Greene whom I learned much later on is the Chief religious correspondent for FOX news.
The morning wedding, followed by the reception, was held in downtown Nashville at the Hermitage Hotel. And later that evening, I met up with a friend of mine from Spring Hill Camp(Jesse Worstell) at
That's also where I met my now friend Patrick.
But tonight...

The Script Continues
Sunday afternoon an acquaintance friend of mine invited me to watch The Bears game on a pub called Gael's, located on the upper east side.

The Lower East Side
Doc Holliday's on a Saturday night...
Some nights I stay out later than others... last night would have been one of those nights.

Choose Your Own Adventure
When I was in elementary school there was this book series I loved to read called Choose Your Own Adventure.
Wikipedia explains, (since I'm too lazy to), "Each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist and making choices that determine the main character's actions in response to the plot and its outcome."
The book covers exclaim, "You're the Star of The Story!" and that you get to choose from 30 (sometimes more) possible endings.
Several years ago I heard Erwin McManus give the same talk twice - and both times he handed out chess pieces to remind everyone
Every day we are given the opportunity to choose our own adventure. And most days, there is little adventure at all, and for some, months, or even years pass by without some sort of sense of anything... except perhaps boredom, or routine, or
This evening I chatted (on facebook) with an aquaintance who I met on a ski lift last winter while snowboarding in Southern Calfornia. He currently lives in Louisiana and creates special effects for a living. (In a couple of weeks if you watch the movie The Mechanic, you can even see his name appear on the screen when the credits role.)
Today just so happens to be his birthday and he informed me, "I celebrated by jumping in a 40 degree lake with 40 degree air outside right at the minute I was born. It was . . . brisk."
I'm not recommending that you choose to catch pneumonia or hypothermia in your attempts to live an adventuresome life, but I am saying that maybe we need to consider switching things up from time to time - doing something out of our comfort zone, or...
