But really Hersheypark was something I couldn’t miss. Like the annual beach trip, the annual Hersheypark [...]

Piece Of Shit Car

Posted by Patrick at 12:55 am Published in Blog

It has not been a great month for the Toyota Carolla. 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 signs [...]

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Posted by Patrick at 8:30 am Published in Blog

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 [...]

Law And Order

Posted by Patrick at 10:48 pm Published in Film & Video

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 are so [...]

FSC Felon

Posted by Patrick at 12:25 am Published in Blog

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.”
