The Keystone State

by Patrick on June 30, 2008

I love to drive. It’s the only explanation of why after driving hundreds of miles (at the cost of my car) I decide to go on another road trip (to Hershey, PA) only a week after getting back from the beach. But really Hersheypark was something I couldn’t miss. Like the annual beach trip, the [...]

Piece Of Shit Car

by Patrick on June 30, 2008

It has not been a great month for the Toyota Corolla. It’s nothing at all exciting as I have written before but it does a great job in transporting me from point A to point B. However the ride from my beach trip led to multiple incidents that would make anyone think, “why me?” First [...]

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

by Patrick on June 29, 2008

You would think that I would need a vacation after my beach vacation but that wasn’t happening at all. I welcomed myself back to DC with a string of baseball games. Monday after my trip I drove up to Baltimore with Cynthia to see the Red Sox/Orioles game. The game was going well for the [...]

OBX 2008

by Patrick on June 28, 2008

I don’t take a lot of long vacations. Call it workaholicism, call it laziness to leave home, I just don’t take entire weeks off. However there is one trip I will take every year, and that is my annual trip to the Outer Banks. Every year a whole group of friends and I rent a [...]

Earlier last year I wrote about how I watched the Red Sox win the World Series at a local Red Sox hangout spot in Georgetown. Well there was a photographer there that took photos of LJ and I to use for a story- however he decided not to use our photo but he did decide [...]

Law And Order

by Patrick on June 15, 2008

I love TV intro, and one of the most recognizable is the intro to the Law and Order series. All the different franchises of the series use similar styles and music in their intros: Law and Order but I recently found the titles that the show uses in oversees syndication in England and the titles [...]

I’m A PR Geek

by Patrick on June 12, 2008

Yesterday I was working in Washington DC at a conference on Plug-In Electric Cars. Google.org, one of the sponsors of the conference happen to stop by the cars I was representing and posted a cool video on their blog:

FSC Felon

by Patrick on June 11, 2008

Years ago when I was on the Quad at FSC during an orientation, I was asked why I picked Fitchburg State. I joked and answered, “for the ghetto experience.” Looks like I wasn’t entirely wrong. Today my Mom called me to tell me how Fitchburg State was under lockdown after a student robbed a bank [...]

Well I think most of y’all have your Economic Stimulus Check- I got mine last month. It was a pretty prosperous month because I also received my tax refund around the same time as well as a nice bonus at work. With all this cash money in my pocket I was bound to spend it [...]
