Goodbye Vox

2009-12-16T16:22:54Z

So, I'm leaving Vox. After almost three years here, I've begun to long for something new. I'll still post photos from traveling, write stories about music, life, relationships and everything under the sun. My new blog is sjo85.tumblr.com I'...

Say, That's a Sweet Tweet Cloud

2009-11-30T22:21:08Z

I read an article this morning that said "twitter" was the most used English word of 2009. In the past year, I'm proud to say I tweeted a lot more about listening than watching or sleeping.

QotD: New Moon Lights Up The Dark Knight

2009-11-24T21:35:20Z

New Moon broke The Dark Knight's single day box office record. Are you planning on seeing this teenage vampire love story? If so: Team Edward or Team Jacob? I'm not big on tough yet worthless decisions. Two guys, one girl...hmmm, I know what ca...

Sun In An Empty Room

2009-11-24T21:27:35Z

The Weakerthans' video for "Sun In An Empty Room" is one of my favorites in recent memory. It features the once-booming and affluent North End of Winnipeg, a city that reminds me so much of Asbury Park in how a traumatic handful of years can be de...

Let The Fist Pumping Commence

2009-11-24T21:26:06Z

There's been a lot of talk about MTV's new show Jersey Shore set to debut on December 3rd as being offensive to both Jersey-ites and Italian-Americans. As if we in the Garden State don't catch enough flak already, thank you MTV for another batch o...

Pianos & Jackhammers

2009-11-13T19:14:19Z

Everyone always tell you when you're young that time flies by. I'm glad to say I have some amazing, unforgettable experiences in my pockets. The bad times and hard lessons are the change that sinks to the bottom. They're there but they don't weigh...

Battle Studies

2009-11-11T01:05:15Z

John, I love your new record. Yourself, Steve and Pino have done another great job. Like Continuum, this heartbreak handbook couldn't come at a better time for me. I promise to live your advice of staying human, staying hurtable and staying open....

Thank You, Kris Roe

Uninspired and growing tired, why am I always so attracted to trauma? So here I am, grown up at 23, will someone tell me what it takes to be happy? I play in my band and write a lot of songs about relationships and how mine went wrong. Maybe I'll ...

Destined For Anything At All

2009-11-02T18:04:23Z

I can't believe it's been a year since I moved to Miami. Well, a year yesterday. It's not that it hasn't felt like a year, it's just been one crazy amount of emotion in 366 days. I'm endlessly happy to be back home in New Jersey after six months i...

Lately

2009-11-02T17:39:02Z

Couldn't get into Halloween. Couldn't fill a room at the Stone Pony. Couldn't miss the rain. I'm glad that weekend is over.
