Day 17 is here and so is some nasty weather. A few inches of snow couple with a sleet/ice = craptastic! In addition to this cold hot mess, our little guy has a double ear infection. No fun.

Hardships aside, here’s your daily dose of awesome.

This is art related but if you haven’t watched Exit Through The Gift Shop, I highly recommend it. Inspiring, hilarious, intriguing.

Day 16, eh? I’m going with a few comfortable picks today: amazing type work and good old fashion Canadian rock ‘n roll.

Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre’s Johnny!

Go To Hell by Kieth Murgatroyd

Special shoutout to my wonderful/amazing/brilliant/hilarious/gorgeous wife who turned 31 today. I love you to the moon and back. Happy birthday!

Hello friends and readers! I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Good news and bad news.

Ok, the bad news is that tomorrow is Monday and not Saturday.

The good news is that you’re about to discover some wonderful things. Away we go…

All hail the mighty Mike Doughty!

For all you sports fans (present co. included), please enjoy this AMAZING post-game interview by Jets linebacker, Bart Scott.

Apologies for missing yesterday’s post. Between being tuckered out from a biz trip and dealing with a very grumpy, teething 1 year old,  I hope you’ll understand.

The plus side? Today’s post as twice the awesomeness. Let’s roll.

Recommendation #1: If you’ve got a hankering for good Italian food and you happen to be in Albany, NY, I highly suggest Bongiorno’s. Amazing food, decent prices and a very cozy and authentic vibe.

Recommendation #2: Dudes, if you’re looking for a cool, unique gift for that special lady in your life, check out The Vintage Pearl. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE, DUDES.

Day 12. What can I say? I’m jonesing for some new 30 Rock episodes, I snacked too much before bed and I’m still the luckiest guy on the planet.

Who’s ready for art, music and pretty much whatever else I write about here?

This is REAL hip hop and it is GOOD.

Random Panamania factoid: Panama’s per capita GDP is $11,900.

Today’s AMP 365 is going to be the best one yet! And for the record, I hope that every post is better than the one before.

If you’re not striving to improve, you’re probably sitting on your couch watching reruns of Perfect Strangers.

I digress. Thankfully the nor’easter that dropped more than a foot of snow here in beautiful Upstate NY, didn’t knock out the power. And so, here’s today’s AMP 365 post. Enjoy.

Cheeseburger on a Trampoline by Brock Davis (aka Laser Bread)

Great tune for a snowy day.

Here’s a fresh haiku to satisfy your poetic craving:

slip light down the cold
spoon into the sweetness
that knows no regret

Still no snow to report but it’s creeping on the area like a psychopath in a goal mask carrying a machete.

Today’s AMP 365 is all about the ladies. Where would we all be without the ladies of lives, right? Hey laaaaaaaadieeeesssss!!!

Props to the ladies of Luscious Jackson! Great music, great vibe. Late 90′s awesomeness sez what what!?!

I have a lot of special ladies in my life – my wife, my mom, my sister and my mother-in-law just to name a few. But I want to take this opportunity to give a special shoutout to our pug, Olive. She’s a very special girl and is pure pug, through and through. Big personality, loves to snuggle, tolerates the antics of our 13 month old without the slightest grumble. She’s a great pup and we’re lucky to have here. Cheers to you, Olive!

Day 9 is so fine. Just a heads up that the next few days of AMP 365 posts may feature some snowy pics as we’re expecting another nor’easter to rip through the cap cities. Get your shovels ready!

Waterfall by Joe Van Wetering

Does it get any better than Otis Redding live? I think not.

If you ever happen to be in Syracuse, Rochester, Troy or Harlem, NY, you’d be an old fool not to grab some grub at Dinosaur BBQ. I’ve been to the Rochester and Troy locations and both were top notch. Tell ‘em lunchboxbrain sent ya.

What’s this? A combo AMP 365 post? Forgive me the missed deadline. We had friends over last night and we went buck wild trying to unlock Plinko from the Price Is Right for the Wii. Sadly, we didn’t reach our goal but I did get to play Plinko during the course of a regular game.

It was glorious and I hope to relive that dream again some day. Since this is a combo post, I’ll be serving up to two of everything. Who’s hungry for a plate of awesome?

Biggie Smalls for Mayor by Chris Piascik

Promise #1: I will never feature music from Shania Twain on this blog as long as I live, so help me Jesus.

Promise #2: For every year that they don’t win the Super Bowl, I will remind every Eagles fan I know that their trophy case remain empty.
