It isn’t THAT bad.

    by Jon Hassinger

I know everyone hates Valentine's Day. However I maintain, that this holiday, at the very least can offer a spark to relationships that have past the "honeymoon stage".

The trick is, to do/buy things, that you BOTH enjoy. Flowers are generic, boring and they eventually die. Stuffed animals are a waste of closet, attic and basement space. And chocolate is all around us, so there is nothing special about it anymore.

The night before(Feb. 13th) Renee asked me if she could give me my "gift", now. I had no expectations...maybe a Phillies' shirt or something. "Sure", I said.

Then she handed me what looked like a wrapped DVD. Confused, I unwrapped....THIS!:

You all know I am NOT gamer, unlike my two fellow colleagues, Agnew and Dziewit. But every once in a while...I'd say every 5-10 years a video game will come along, that consumes me.

Renee and I were up till 2 in the morning, drinking beer and wine, playing this game. We quit after failing to complete World 2, over a 4 hour period. World 1 was obviously easier. But i was so satisfied to have a new video game, that was fun, had a little bit of nostalgia, since this game is all previous Super Mario Bros. from old-school Nintendo, combined, and a challenge! Because when I opened it, after my initial excitement, I worried, "Is this game only going to take one night to beat?".

I was happy to find out, I was dead wrong.

On the actual Valentine's Day, we both woke up early, and went right back to it.....obviously trading back and forth after one of us died. And after an entire pot of coffee, and some delicious, made-from-scratch Bacon/Egg quiches....

We defeated World 2!

That evening, we splurged, and for the first time, went to The Capitol Grille. And as you can see, we hated our meals:

After that, and a nice bottle of red, we stumbled home, attempted without success, to defeat World 3, then passed out watching the Olympics.

Valentine For My Mom

    by Mike Agnew Jr.

A few years back I made a video for my Mom on Valentine's Day.  This year I decided to do it again.  This took me 10 hours from concept to DVD.  I tried to make it as 80's as possible.

“Agnew’s Cabin” Premiere Tonight

    by Amanda

Welcome to a new show.  Tonight we are going to try and bring the fun and humor of Agnew's Mind to a live broadcast.  Each week we plan on covering different topics and opening them up for discussion.

WHEN?

Tonight's premiere will be at 7PM until 8PM EST.  It will be online both before and after the show so everyone can be connected.

In the following weeks the show will be on Thursdays at 7:30PM EST.

HOW?

You will first need a computer and an internet connection to watch the show.  You will need to create two accounts to participate with the show.

1.  Ustream - Go to Ustream.tv.  Register an account.  It's Free.  If you search Agnew's Cabin you should be able to find it.  Otherwise you can just click this link.

2. Skype - Go to Skype.com and download the software.  Create an account.  Again it is free.  You can then add AgnewsCabin to your contact list.  Slype is used to call into the show.

Please Check back for updates as I will be trying to work out a few more bugs throughout the day.  I will mark updates below.

*UPDATE* 2PM - Got Skype working.  So now you will be able to call AgnewsCabin on Skype to participate in the show.

It was SUPER.

This was Thursday night, when all of the crazies from Indy and N.O. invaded South Florida. It was really awesome, to stand up close to this sign..which was on the beach.

Little windy, though.

26.2

    by Jon Hassinger

So for some reason, about 5 months ago, I decided to train for and actually run, a Marathon. At many points throughout the training, I wanted to stop, and just get back to a normal work-out routine. But since I paid $90 to do it, and ultimately it was for a good cause, I went through with it.

So to give a glimpse of what YOU can expect, if you decide to take the "trip", I offer you this:

I saw Renee for the first time, during this picture...

Which caused me to finish strong..

Extending your legs, at this point in the race is a frightening thing to even think about, let alone do. Luckily I had the Rocky soundtrack on my iPod, hitting "Gonna fly now!!" at that moment.

And just like that (understatement of my life), I am a Marathon runner.

The medal, the sweat, the tears, and the leg pain don't mean anything.

THIS makes it official:

I'm going to lose that nail.
