10 Things Jayson Werth’s beard is likely thinking

CitizenConnelly — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:52:54 +0000

Jayson Werth...caveman in disguise?

I wonder if Geico if will call me back about that casting opportunity
Hah, I’m more popular than Jayson Werth right now
Jimmy Rollins…stop trying to braid me
I guess I pretty much sum up what Jayson Werth’s offseason was like
I’m getting more questions than he is about his contract
Thank God they brought in Roy Halladay…I bet he’s got some great grooming tips
Maybe Charlie will stop calling me Geoff Jenkins now
I’m not going to lie…this is soo working for the ladies
Brad Lidge came to me for his salvation…and his confidence, and his slider, and his fastball, and his closer role again.
This is suffocating his soul patch right now…and I love it!

Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow!

CitizenConnelly — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:37:45 +0000

I don’t know what it is about this fluffy white stuff that gets me all excited. Maybe it’s the fact that I love snowball fights and building snowmen. Maybe I love the scenery it produces or maybe I just grew up in Delaware so this magical mix is still new to me.

Whatever the case, regardless of whether we get 12 or 30 inches let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Fun times at the Philly Wings game

CitizenConnelly — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:09:10 +0000

JC, Becky, Me and Johan at the Wings game. It was an awesome game despite the OT loss. Lots of gritty play, hard shots and body checks. (Not pictured the very pregnant Nicole and her husband Adam.)

Josh's first Philadelphia Wings game and it was a blast!

My next photo set…

CitizenConnelly — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:34:02 +0000

I think my next photo set will be of things shot in my place.

I have some cool things, a drum, some robots and other associated items for the curious. With my new camera I think I can challenge myself to make them pop.

We’ll see..either way, it looks like a good Saturday/Sunday project while I’m taking a quick break from freelance work.

I could be better…

Another blog post I found from years ago..previously written 1/25/07

Ok, so…i was reading a friend’s blog today…shes an incredible writer, (I’ve probably told her that once or twice) and its not so much what she writes, but the way and how she writes it. Its the rhythm, the structure and the melodic details falling where they may. Whatever it is, its not what is said, but the way its said.

Out of all the things I claim to be, a writer isn’t one of them. But when I find myself writing I want to do it well. Its this humanistic, selfish desire to be very good at something, even when if its not something you do often, much less spend very much time on. I wish I could write in such a way that it inspires people…and urges them to better themselves, perhaps even to greatness. Artistically, designing I live in those same goals…to inspire. When I do write, though sparingly…I want it to mean something…something beyond the reckless bablings of a 21-year old college senior. I’m far more than that; I want my writing to reflect as much.

Writings, words, and the way they are all said have always meant something to me. If I can write produce a writing to go along with a piece of art I’ve done, my satisfaction is two-fold. The piece means significantly more because I can express verbally in the same way I have visually.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…I truly admire writers because if their ability to paint pictures, create visualizations and craft dreams.

So again, here’s to the people that inspire me to be more, even if its in the lesser concentrations of my life….
