"Dude, you are so hardcore about Philly."

Hello soon-to-be-faithful readers!

The interwebs certainly do not need another blog, but I thought this would be a good way for friends, family and co-workers to follow my life and read my deepest thoughts.

First, some things need to be defined. "Philly Hardcore" is a nickname given to me by friends because I get militant if people trash The City of Philadelphia. Some people love animals and others collect stamps, but I have an affinity for this place. I don't claim to know the most about it nor do I think that its perfect — I just know that I love living here. The nickname was solidified when my fiance actually found a hoodie with the phrase emblazoned across it at The Bourse (of course) giftshop. Philly Hardcore was also the name of the quizzo team (third bullet point) I played on for almost a year at O'Neals and Black Sheep… and never won.

What you won't find here…

Sorry horndogs, if you got here using The Google to find naughty pictures, this blog has nothing to do with hardcore pornography. Also, it is not about local hardcore bands — however I do enjoy some of that music and may blog about it occasionally.

Well, that's really about it for now, look for my first real post relatively soon.
