World Class Fitness In 100 Words
This past Friday one of my college soccer buddies, who now has a wife and kid of his own, surprised me with a last minute text that he’d got a “hall pass” would would be “attending a Premier event” that evening. I was super excited because I know how rare it is that my married [...]
Two Incredible Albums I’m Loving Lately
These two albums have been playing on a regular basis the past month on our bus and I am hooked on both of them. The first is by a guy most people haven’t heard of. Frank Ocean. If you don’t know who he is now I promise you you will very very soon. He is [...]
Great Lil Wayne Interview!!!
This might be one of the best interviews I have seen in a long time. Weezy is actually somewhat coherent during the entire thing… Try not to laugh at the ridiculousness… Oh yeah, I’ve actually had Rap Snacks before!!!
Redbull Thr3estyle Chicago
One of the few regrets I have had about being on tour this whole month is that I can’t participate in something I have been looking forward to since last year. Redbull started doing a DJ competition nationwide and even spanning Canada that incorporates some of the regions best turntablists. Last year’s was off the [...]
SICK COVER: Skrillex ‘Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites’ Piano Cover
Here’s a sick new cover of the dubstep artist Skrillex’s track ‘Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites’. Actually sound pretty awesome and would probably do as well in a classical genre as it does in the world of whomp whomp dubstepin’.
Do The Evolution – If You’re Not Growing, You’re Dying
I just finished watching a replay of the recent UFC 124 event on SPIKE where one of my favorite fighters George St. Pierre demolished trash-talking welterweight contender Josh Koscheck. As part of his preparation for the fight, GSP trained with boxing legend Freddy Roach… it showed. Over the next five rounds, he proceeded to utilize [...]
Review of District Bar Chicago
District Bar’s goal is “to provide outstanding service along with exceptional food quality, taste, drinks, specialty cocktails and presentation while creating a truly exciting experience for our customers.” I must admit that I was skeptical when I first read District’s philosophy on food, drink, and service on their website. I imagined every sports bar I [...]

It’s Not How Hard You Can Hit, It’s How Hard You Can GET HIT And Keep Coming Forward
If you haven’t guessed by now, I’m a big fan of motivational quotes. The reason most of my weekly pieces have a “motivational” component to them is because it’s something I’m passionate about myself and I find writing kinda boring unless it’s a topic that interests me and one I’ve preferably chosen myself. That’s right. [...]
Cuvée: A Refreshingly New Take on Ladies’ Night
Alright Ladies, let’s talk dress-up, shall we? We’ve all had that bad day, right? The nasty breakup, awful fight with Mom, or even just felt gross about having to do what a friend of mine calls The Clean Pants Dance after a new wash, yes? Any one of these events calls for a much-deserved [...]

What Makes A Great Leader And Why *I* Think Our Events Are Some Of The Best In The Country
I have to ask your forgiveness in advance. I slammed a SleepyHead (see http://www.drinksleepyhead.com/ for more info) about 25 minutes ago and I can feel this bad boy kickin’ in a lot sooner than I’d anticipated. So if I end up sounding like Ozzy Ozzbourne before the end of this blog post you’ll know why. [...]
Most Valuable Player
Derrick Rose is without question this year’s most valuable player. If you want to argue otherwise you’re either 1- a hater, 2- ignorant to what basketball is all about, or 3- both of the above. If you take the kid off this Bulls team what are they? Maybe at best a .500 team right? They [...]
The World Works on Short Term Memory!!
It has been a minute since I have been able to come on and share my random thoughts on things I see and experience in this world. I have had an insanely busy past couple of weeks as I make my turn to experience another Chicago summer with the fam (The single best summer city [...]
