This blog is a continuation of a series I started earlier this week. Somebody had the idea to post a list was to consist of your favorite films from each year of your life. So, you start with your birth year and move ahead year by year and list all the films from each year. … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 80’s
Author: nostalgicitalian
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

Favorite Film – The 70’s
I guess I saw this on Facebook some time ago. Somebody had the idea to post a list of your favorite films. The list was to consist of your favorites from each year of your life. So, you start with your birth year and move ahead year by year and list all the films from … Continue reading Favorite Film – The 70’s
Midweek Music – Norah Jones
I missed Tune Tuesday for a couple weeks, so here is a musical blog. In 2003, I was surfing from radio station to radio station and came across a song that "stood out" to me. The singer had this sultry, smokey voice that peaked my curiosity. I had no idea who she was and had … Continue reading Midweek Music – Norah Jones
“My heart’s all a flutter…”
About 5 or 6 years ago, I started feeling these little "flutters" in my heart. I went in to the doctor, they made me wear a holter monitor. It showed some PVC's and such. That led to an echocardiogram. I was then told I needed a sleep study to find out if I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea … Continue reading “My heart’s all a flutter…”
“Let It Go!”
With the upcoming birth of our daughter, my wife will often quiz me on Disney Princesses. This will be my first daughter and princesses are kind of a big deal! When Sam is getting ready for work she will often listen to her Disney Pandora channel. When a song comes on, she will ask, "What's … Continue reading “Let It Go!”

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself in my blogs. If I do, I apologize. In all honesty, sometimes I forget if I have mentioned something in a previous blog. I have been meaning to hook up with my friend and fellow blogger, Max, to learn how to index the content that I have already … Continue reading 100
Par For The Course …
Do you have something that you love to do, even though you're not really that good at it? I have quite a few things that would fall into this category. The things that pop immediately into my mind for me are singing, bowling, writing, and golf (to name a few). I have been golfing since … Continue reading Par For The Course …
Quotes I Needed To Hear Today
It's not worth my time (or yours) to rehash why I am writing this blog. It will be a short one. After an incident today, Sam (as she always does), saw a great quote that really helped me today: "Learn to be ok with people not knowing your side of the story. You don't have … Continue reading Quotes I Needed To Hear Today
Holy Batman Day!
After a few serious blogs, I decided I needed to write about something a little bit less ... deep. This is about a silly and campy a topic as I can come up with. Depending on the source, either September 15 or September 21 was National Batman Day. Either way, I missed it. It was … Continue reading Holy Batman Day!
Voices of the Past
This weekend, I DJ'd homecoming dance. For high schools, all my new music is on a hard drive and I play it from the computer. When I do weddings or parties, I still bring some CDs. Recently, I have been going through boxes of CDs in hopes of putting what I don't have on my … Continue reading Voices of the Past
