You know, grief is a weird animal. Sometimes when you hear tragic news, you have trouble articulating exactly how you feel until you see someone close to you that is feeling the same way. And on that note, I think my pal Chad Clark pretty well sums up how I feel about Wednesday’s passing of [...]
They say you should never tweet while hungry and yesterday I found myself scanning my Twitter stream with a grumbling stomach. A rather innocuous tweet from Milagro Modern Mexican, a relatively new Mexican restaurant here in St. Louis, reminded me that I had yet to make my way over there for a meal. Within minutes, [...]
No two rest stops are the same. And for that matter, even some of the most consistent roadside stop-offs [ ahem Flying J ] are not as consistent as you’d hope for them to be. That is why I often find myself pulling off of America’s highways at the same exits time and time again. [...]
Seeing the trailer for the new movie The Dilemma has somewhat rekindled me of my long-time crush on the amazingly beautiful Jennifer Connelly. I have been quite smitten with her since some friends and I snuck in to see Inventing The Abbotts while in middle school. But, I think I grew the most fond of [...]
I finally got around to getting Robert (the cat) a name tag. He was so excited that he could hardly sit still posing for this picture. He then promptly took a nap.
The concept of things happening for a reason is something that I put a lot of faith into. And in looking back on 2010, I’ve realized that a number of my favorite and most needed moments of the year have revolved around somewhat chance happenings with the St. Louis band, The Blind Eyes. They have [...]
Last night, I was discussing with a good friend just how much we were looking forward to this year being over. Not that 2011 necessarily promises anything more than an opportunity for a chance at better times, but for various reasons we both at least found some solace in admitting to each other that this [...]
Saint Louis’ City Museum is one of those majestic wonders that you find yourself trying to describe to every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes to town, but always feel that you can never quite do it justice with words alone. That is exactly how I felt until, well, I took the picture above. The [...]
Going to movies alone has been one of my tactics for attaining normalcy since back when I was living in New Orleans and it seemed to be a very fitting thing to do on Christmas Eve since all of the bars in walking distance from my apartment were closed and my Netflix instant queue was [...]
I’m a 2nd game bowler. You might beat me in the 1st game, and again in the 3rd, but it is the 2nd game when I’m really on. I don’t know what it is exactly. For years I’ve been throwing the ball with the same left, right, left approach and I do my best to [...]
Hi. My name is Michael David Tomko and I am a DIY Marketer, Management Consultant, Audio Engineer and Concert Promoter living in St. Louis, MO. Being that I have a digital photoframe dedicated to my favorite meals, I thought it would be prudent to start a blog about everything I'm excited about. Most importantly: food, girls, music and my amazing cat, Robert Jamal Tomko (RJT). I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my crazy little life.
