The other night I had dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger, a restaurant that let’s you create your own cheeseburgers and shakes. Apparently, they’ve been around for 23 years, however only 2 of those in the New York area. I ordered a cheddar cheeseburger with lettuce, onion, chopped garlic, artichoke hearts, and BBQ sauce. Delicious!

Today is Election Day — a day when Americans exert their founding-fathers-given (or suffrage-given, depending on one’s gender) right to vote. Sure its a midterm election, but its important nonetheless. I voted this morning before work with my sister and my dad.

November is National Blog Posting Month, or as people in the know call it, NaBloPoMo. Blogging once a day, every day for a month is something I’ve done here at CityCynic.com before, sometimes not even during November. But November is the tradition.

CBS’ new sitcom $#*! My Dad Says starring William Shatner is based on the Twitter account of Justin Halpern, who lives with his 89-year-old father. The show’s premiere brought in 12.5 million viewers last week. Maybe that’s why CBS is planning another TV show based on a Twitter account, @shhdontellsteve. That one is about a [...]

Going to Medieval Times in New Jersey is a family tradition for my Dad’s birthday every June. This year was no different and we found ourselves in Northern Jersey cheering on the Red & Yellow Knight, while we consumed a meal fit for a nobleman of a half chicken, a rib, potato, tomato bisque, garlic [...]

Today marks my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, Melissa. This past year has been both amazing and exhilarating. We’ve traveled and we’ve spent time together at home. We’ve both seen new places and met new people that have made our lives better. We’ve learned just how great helping each other feels. We’ve enjoyed being [...]

The universe will always find a way

“If two points are destined to touch, the universe will always find a way to make the connection. Even when all hope seems lost, certain ties cannot be broken. They define who we are — and who we can become. Across space, across time, even across paths we cannot predict.” Great quote from Touch.

Celebrity Apprentice Season 5 premieres February 19

Celebrity Apprentice returns with eighteen celebrities for Season 5 on NBC February 19. I’ve watched all of the previous seasons of the show, which have been full of crazy challenges and great conflicts between celebrities (ie- Gary Busey vs. Meatloaf) playing the game for charity. Plus there’s Donald Trump, who — no matter what you [...]

Mets legendary catcher Gary Carter dies

Former Mets catcher and Hall-of-Famer Gary “The Kid” Carter died today from brain cancer at the age of 57. As a lifelong Mets fan, Gary Carter was a legend. If he wasn’t the Mets catcher in 1986, it’s likely the Mets wouldn’t have won the World Series. Even in the years before and after the ’86 [...]
