The Alien Overlords And Me : Ten Years With Complex Distractions(Formerly jhubner73.com)

Ten years ago today I dropped my first blog post. It was a review for St. Vincent’s Strange Mercy. It wasn’t that good, but that was okay. It was okay because I had released something into the void for lost souls(and even not-so lost souls) to read. Read, judge, agree with, disagree with, stare at […]

Thankful

If ever there was a year that gave so many so little to be thankful for, it’s 2020. Illness, deaths, job losses, isolated from family and friends, and the entire election cycle of poisoned rhetoric and flat-out lies has made this a year I think we’d all like to just flush like the giant turd […]

Different Name, Same Schmuck

If you happen by here often(or semi-often), then you’ll notice something is different about the place. Sure, the WordPress theme looks different(that may change again), but where is the affable Jhubner73.com, you’re probably wondering?(if you’re not, then you should pay closer attention.) Well, I have indeed re-christened the Good Ship Blog Spot. Jhubner73.com has been […]

A House Of Fun…A Gift In The Mail

So I’m sitting there on the couch minding my own business after a long day of driving(picked up my daughter from school for Christmas break Thursday) when my wife says “You got something in the mail.” Me? I got something in the mail? What could this be? So she hands me a small manila envelope. […]

Oxygene

The nice thing about having this little spot on the great information super highway is that fellow travelers stop by. We have conversations, share a cup of coffee or a pint of stout, and generally get to know each other, whereas in the real world we couldn’t do that. Having many miles, oceans, and continents […]

Three Years Here

So it was three years ago, on December 8th, 2011, that I put my toes in the waters of this blogging ocean. Before that point I’d often thought about starting a blog. The idea of having my own space out in this digital wilderness to spout off about, well, whatever, seemed like a great idea. […]

New Year’s Eve At The Village Vanguard

Well we’ve made it. 2013 is nearly over and we’re staring 2014 right in the eyes and saying “Bring it on.” I’m looking back on 2013 not with any regrets or how I would’ve done things differently. I’m looking back and wondering where in the hell did it go? It’s as if someone cranked the […]

Christmas. It’s finally here(did it ever leave?)

It seems like it was only yesterday we were frantically trying to finish those last minute touch-ups in the kids rooms before Christmas. Wait, that was yesterday. That was the big gift, you know. That the kids all have their own rooms. That doesn’t seem like much of a gift, but when you have a […]

Hitting The Big Time(in the littlest way possible)

A couple weeks ago I received an email from a woman who works for Naxos USA(not familiar with Naxos? Neither was I..click on the link before reading on). She asked me if I would be interested in reviewing some of their music titles and posting said reviews on Amazon and iTunes, as well as my […]

Family Affair

So I’ve been blogging now since December of 2011. It’s been one of the most productive and fulfilling things I ever could’ve done for myself. I’ve always loved writing. It’s something I think I do rather well. But up until the beginning of JHubner73.com, my writing was limited to songs in my basement and the […]
