And what of music?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

 Holy crap. I thought I lost this. This was one of my favorite blog posts, but my computer frazzed in the middle of me working on it. I didn't realize that it saved a draft. I just noticed when I got on the site to promote my friend Brad's Lollapalooza scoop (http://www.windycitizen.com/blogs/lollapalooza-blog/2008/08/02/lollapalooza-2008-slash-joins-perry-farrell-samantha-ronson-for-i).  Anyway, the ...

Been a while

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

And it's only going to be a quick one. So, I googled "depression." Make of that what you will. The number one response was Depression.com, "Facts about depression, including how to manage it and how to live with this medical condition." So I click. I'm too angry to stretch this out with some good ...

Confession time

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

First of all, I'm sorry my hiatus took so long. I think I'm mostly apologizing to myself. What started as an assignment has turned into something I really enjoy doing. It sucks that my other projects have taken away from the easiest one -- writing about things I believe in. I ...

Clips week is grinding to a merciful halt

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I should start with new posts either this week or next. Either way, here's one that originally ran Jan. 25, 2008 as "Robble Robble." I woke up yesterday craving cheeseburgers. But not big gourmet cheeseburgers or homemade, fresh-off-the-grill cheeseburgers. I’m talking greasy, lard-infused fast food cheeseburgers. Don’t worry. I’m going somewhere with this.  I went ...

Clips week continues

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Originally ran Feb. 12 as "What I'm Wearing" Why the hell were my American Eagle jeans made in Hong Kong? Probably the same reason my Hanes undershirt was made in the Dominican Republic and my Croft and Barrow boxers were made in Thailand. Hanes’ slogan, by the way is “An American Original.” American Eagle ...

My media empire

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

As to why my postings have become rarer than an apt idiom to describe something rare, here are the following projects that have been keeping me busy: 1. Basic classwork at grad school. This quarter is beating me down to the ground. By the way, if any of you readers happen ...

HA!

Hiatus

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

The Things You Carry (aka PaulDailing.com) will be going on a brief hiatus due to a family emergency. I will resume posting next week.

What’s that on the right?

Monday, March 17th, 2008

If you look in the upper right, you'll see a link to something called Blog 2.0. That's a project for my grad class in which I outline how this site could better serve you. Actually, though, I would prefer you click on School Work to get to the Blog 2.0. The ...

A quick one

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

A brief snippet from the European Youth for Action Web site. The bolding and italicizing is mine:  "In the West, the understanding of basic living standards is changeable, depending on lifestyle; a busy job, social life, travel etc. It is also a symptom of the boredom and laziness brought on by ...
