Wonderful, wonderful Puerto Vallarta.  If I could dub this post, I would.  As your eyes moved along these words, I’d play this calming tune in the background.  And as I guided your imagination along the warm, sandy beaches, passed the playful ocean waves and toward the refreshing infinity pool, I’d place an ice cold bloody [...]

I affectionately call it “The Delta Mix.”  Mr. and Mrs. T’s, two Skyy vodka minis and a lime wedge, if you’re lucky.  And on this day, I was lucky.  On an 8:00 am flight bound for Portland, Oregon, I found myself not only upgraded to business class but, more importantly, with a lime in my [...]

I like hockey games.  I like the fights, the fans, the overpriced beers and the loud sounds of sticks, pucks and body slams.  I like soft baked pretzels with nacho cheese, and I especially like the long time tradition of pre-game drinks.  So before a recent Anaheim Ducks game, I made my way to a [...]

This past weekend, while much of the country was enveloped by cold, rain or snow, I had the pleasure of experiencing California’s beautiful, sunny coastline.  A night of camping near San Clemente included a three mile round trip hike to Trestles Beach followed by copious amounts of beer, s’mores and hot buttered rums.  But after [...]

The Buzzed Assassin is back again.  Now, where did the Assassin get to this time?  Well, friends, the truth of the matter is that I cannot tell you the whole truth.  But I will say this: from time to time, even the best of us must take a moment to return to basics, to refocus [...]

I love Las Vegas.  I love the bright lights, the big shows, the hope and despair, the people watching and the stench of stale cigarettes and cheap sex.  I love the black truffle everything, the sprawling buffets, the $17 martinis, the comped well drinks, and most of all, I love the orgy like sense of [...]

Everyone needs “that bar.”  The bar that you don’t have to think about, the bar with that special bartender, the bar you start your night at before going to all the other bars—the default bar, your bar, that bar.  Whether it was the now defunct River City Saloon in Portland, High Dive in Brooklyn or [...]

Before I consumed copious amounts of nacho cheese, beer and various carb filled foods, I set aside a very important part of my Superbowl Sunday morning to enjoy a nice, homemade bloody mary.  Now, I have heard that this is somewhat of a tradition for some.  I personally try to partake in my own bloody [...]

So I was on my way to a Halo 4 marathon.  Specifically, I was on my way to a non-stop, Let’s Play style video and audio group recording of Missions 5 through 8 of Halo 4.  I was getting short on my time in Portland and needed to squeeze in a few more bloodys before [...]
