I just made some bruschetta on the fly! I was literally just looking around my kitchen for a bite to eat, and this jumped out at me. Here’s how I made it: Rummage through the fridge, looking for Italian bread and tomatoes. Find loaf of Italian bread, chunked or diced tomatoes, chopped basil, oregano, salt [...]
Here’s what I did at the call center: I answered calls. Sounds like something fairly simple, right? Does it sound like I have a lot of power? Apparently, to a lot of people, I do. I have the power to bless people with miracles. I can magically lower the temperature outside to remedy your broken air conditioner. [...]
There’s something comforting when you leave something to move on, albeit a bit scary. There’s nothing more fragile than your mind when you’re leaving things that you know to take on new challenges, new experiences. Although, it seems like whenever I post on MBnet, I’m leaving somewhere. I hope you don’t think I’m flaky; that’s [...]
This pretty much sums up my week. Conan O’Brien in Kansas City, MO. My mom got front row tickets. We waited outside the stage entrance for him to come out, along with a group of people. When he got close enough, I yelled, “Conan! My mom and I drove 9 hours to see you tonight! [...]

I was already prepared to find a motel, and came across a string of budget motels as soon as I crossed Albuquerque city limits. Unfortunately, the first Motel 6 — my budget [...]

Here I go again! I’m leaving Los Angeles for greener pastures. If by “greener pastures,” you mean “Memphis.” It doesn’t seem like so long ago that I was fresh-faced in the Californian dream, but that glow left a while ago. I’m not giving up, or abandoning my dream, or tired of struggling, or losing my [...]
My number-one goal out here in Los Angeles was to stay away from the film industry. “Don’t get sidetracked,” I said to myself. “Stick to journalism and you’ll do fine.” My roommate, Flitz, was against it. There was so much out here, he said, and it’s not a bad thing to deviate. I didn’t really [...]

This is it. When August comes around, I will be making the 27-hour drive to Los Angeles, California, to make my mark in the industry and finally embrace for what I’ve been working so hard. (Is it a coincidence that Electronic Gaming Monthly is coming back in the second half of 2009? Is it a [...]
