Welcome to Gaslamp’s Finest Media
I am (sort of) writing again.
My hiatus is over.
I am scribbling a bunch of words, thoughts, and sentences together for the public again. Sort of like the tweaker who shouts inarticulate phrases outside of 7-Eleven when you’re filling up your gas tank.
Thankfully, all of my teeth are still intact.
For years, I have constantly complained about my on-and-off relationship with blogging.
It resembles Khloe and Tristan’s relationship just minus the steroids and serial cheating.
Having said that, I am pleased to be one of the founding members of Gaslamp’s Finest Media group. This idea was spawned like any other group of people who get together and enjoy the camaraderie of shootin’ the shit about sports, pop culture, and life.
Upon restless deliberations, we finally “agreed” on the name - Gaslamp’s Finest Media.
The painstaking headache of trying to think of a title for a fun project like this is a Son.. Of… A…. BITCH!!! It’s like asking your indecisive significant other what they want to order from DoorDash for dinner.
“IT’S NOT THAT SIMPLE!”
Gaslamp’s Finest Media is a tribute to the downtown area of our beloved San Diego Padres and pays homage to our beautiful hometown city of San Diego, California.
That description felt like the dialogue of an influencer making a “Day in the Life” TikTok video.
Among the future bitching and moaning about how much the Padres will piss us off this season on a night-to-night basis, and that will happen at an extraordinary rate like it has every year since 1969, we will equally praise the Friar's success as well.
But the beauty of G.F.M is the versatility and range of content my co-hosts and I will create on this platform.
Professional and collegiate sports will be in the mix. A cocktail of pop culture, film/television, and embarrassing Hinge stories will be served as well. You’ll be able to consume our Rankings and Draft orders of miscellaneous topics that will surely cause debate in group chats.
I have always been a “Football Guy” deep down, as the internet loves to label the NFL fan community. Dean Spanos is the Antichrist. I enjoy making fun of NBA player antics through an excruciatingly, long season. March Madness is better than Christmas. I might (or might not) have an unhealthy obsession with sports wagering.
But at the heart of this media venture and podcast, there will be plenty of discussion about local topics like the Padres surpassing their season win total (o/u) of 81.5 games. Talking plenty of SDSU Aztec hoops (I’ve never reached a euphoric state of mind like I did when Lamont Butler hit the game-winning shot to advance SDSU to the National Championship game) and football (Sean Lewis, for Christ’s sake, please save our football program) too. Or when Xander Schauffele inevitably wins his first Green Jacket at The Masters.
I could ramble all day. Blogging is supposed to be fun. This will be fun.
I am going to write about whatever the fuck I want.
