No, no, I’m not a big deal, but the agency that’s letting me call myself a “strucker” is. Yes, I started today and what an incredible birthday it is… That’s right, today’s my birthday too… In fact, next to the dual squirt-gun equipped big wheel mom & dad gave me for my 4th birthday, it’s [...]

Hold up, before I go making resolutions for 2009, let me do a “post mortem” on this past year. With successes and failures, In 2008 I resolved to:
No longer use disposable coffee cups at my favorite brew stations; instead, I’ll carry a travel mug. Each time I break this resolution I will pick-up and recycle [...]

For a moment, I didn’t think I’d ever get to my planned holiday destination, Naples, FL, as a hell-storm of winter weather dominated the Pacific Northwest. If you’re not from the PNW you likely saw it on the news – a full week of sub freezing temperatures coupled with a plethora of snow. As if [...]

As gnarly weather continues to wreak havoc on the Pacific Northwest and I struggle to survive without water do to frozen pipes in my house, I can only dream ahead to where I’ll be next week. Come Sunday I will be soaking up sun, surf, and family in Naples, FL. Mom, dad, two brother and [...]

I bet you’re wondering where I’ve been the past few weeks… Or you’re not and I’m actually typing to myself. However, Google Analytics has me believing otherwise. In fact, I have handfuls of visitors… Presumably from organic SEO, aside from mother of course.
Nonetheless, I have been busy selling Christmas Trees online in my free time. [...]

It’s so good that I don’t want to spend too much time blogging about it. So: saw some great art & music, reunited with old friends, went for a run on the lake-front, and met some cool agency folks.
Soon I’ll be en route to Cleveland for the 5th annual Marzullo Family Fall Fiesta… [...]

If you appreciate good, trendy Rock & Roll inspired by southern roots you’ll love Kings of Leon. The trio of brothers (plus a cousin) totally rocked a sold out Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall last night in Portland. The energy was exhilarating and the venue’s sound quality was impeccable.
Five sound hours of sleep later and I’m [...]

Another exciting weekend of live music and attempted athleticism. The Chaos began with Saturday’s Ghostland Observatory fiasco, then continued bright and early with the “Run Like Hell” half marathon and 10K… The race’s name was true to itself as I was truly in hell for the duration.

Oregon’s most spectacular mountain absolutely owned me this morning… That’s the short story. Here’s the extended version: It was 2:30AM on Sunday when my alarm clock began to chirp. The “stoke” was high, so there was no need to hit snooze. Instead, I threw on my already laid-out clothes, devoured some already made oats, [...]

It has been an exciting weekend, and to think, it’s not even noon on a Saturday. The fun began last night with a party at D Echo’s photography studio, Straub Collaborative, where The Helio Sequence rocked the faces off of a 200+ audience of Portland creative folk… It was ridiculous, Seriously! Between the music, kobe [...]

The bad thing about fall in Portland is the rain. The good thing about this particular fall is that I have no reason to ride a bicycle since I’ve given up Cyclocross. It’s my longest bicycle vacation since I’ve been competitive, it’s refreshing to say the least. Hopefully it’ll make training for a stellar road [...]

I’ve been in need of a spectacular experience for sometime now and am happy to say last night was just that, spectacular! It started off pretty typical – got home from work, went for a run, made some chow… Nothing too crazy. That is until I meandered down the hill and into the Arlene Schnitzer [...]
