February 13, 2013 By Finn 2 Comments

To give an update on the Blue Cheese Cheeseburger endeavor: I’m heading back to Southwest Florida for about a month or so. It looks like I’m leaving the 26th of February.

[Open ‘Thank You’ Letter to] Ellie Goulding. Aragon Ballroom. Chicago, IL. January 29, 2013.

January 16, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

As I was finding my seat on the plane, my consultant was quickly rising to your defense before I shut the phone off. She told me how, “Your Song,” was the theme song to Prince William & Kate Middleton’s wedding and that Elton John gave the version his blessing. I told her that argument softened […]

best blue cheese cheeseburger in northwest indiana

So my banker, Kevin Gould, & I have been looking for a new adventure to start off 2013 – a cleanse the palate, clean the slate, turn the page, start the year off right sort-of-thing. We’ve also been looking for something that’d we’d both love to write about for almost a year. Then it happened […]

Things I learned atop a mountain in Alamogordo, NM (AKA “Happy Thanksgiving” – 2012).

November 21, 2012 By Finn Leave a Comment

As I’ve probably stated on this blog before, my Senior year at Denom U was when I finally had my first emotional break down. I lost the girl of my dreams. I knew I couldn’t go to seminary. I went from direction, motivation, and purpose to debt, days that would never end, a room without […]

Review: Big Daddy’s Barbecue in Valparaiso, IN – The Best Rib Joint Y’all Ain’t Going to…Yet.

February 13, 2012 By Finn 6 Comments

There are a few places in Valparaiso I like to hit with frequency. There aren’t many places in this town that I won’t like. And there are a few places that y’all need to check out. Like Big Daddy’s Barbeque in Valparaiso, IN. Located in the little strip mall on the east side of Calumet […]

Why your lawyer should have a cabin in the woods

October 3, 2010 By Finn 6 Comments

cabin in beverly shores, in

I woke up in a cabin on a futon next to a stone fireplace, surrounded by many windows. The sun was fighting through the dense foilage to shed more light on my situation. And if I turn off this iPod and listen closely, I could hear Lake Michigan coming to rest along the nearby shore. […]

Vengeance and Gonzoing. A Letter to the May 12.

May 10, 2010 By Finn 5 Comments

I can be vengeful. That doesn’t seem to dissipate with age. I wonder if it’s because I am writing the Book of Blues prequel and I share this trait with the main character. Without doubt I question whether my personal growth is frozen in this moment until the moment is written. Either way, the only […]

Lead To a Quiet Alley Cafe This Evening

May 3, 2010 By Finn 2 Comments

There wasn’t a part of my morning that wasn’t bombarded by a part of my professional life. The bombs came through email, out from twitter, along from Facebook, and standing along my my desk – all in multiple forms. The phone even rang. That’s never good. I had to cajole, negotiate, insist, persist, pistol whip, […]

“He looked to me to be the eyes of age”

April 23, 2010 By Finn Leave a Comment

A quiet, unassuming spring night in April. The NFL draft is consuming traditional media like it’s the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, and around here, people are preparing for the now-Famous Dark Lord Day at Three Floyds Brewery. Life is placid for a few days. It only means one thing: time to escape to Big Country’s […]

Today Is the Day I Retire My Picasso Old Guitarist Gravatar. With Sadness

April 18, 2010 By Finn 1 Comment

Today was a bittersweet day for me. When I started playing around with Social Media tools, I used Picasso’s Old Guitarist as my gravatar – a filler till I decided whether or not I liked these tools. But as with many things in my life, I got attached to the picture. Then again, I’ve almost […]
