About Me:
Last updated: November 2008

I am Pocklock. This site was created from my tired brain after long, headache inducing hours of forced creativity.

I am a 29 30 year old, married homeowner that likes commas, Jolly Ranchers, country music, cows, popcorn, guacamole, and Diet Coke. My daughter Lyla was born in August 2008 and is my true pride and joy.

I spend my days working as an internet marketer in the hospitality industry. I spend my nights at home with my Extremely Hot Husband sharing in depth conversations about the shows we’re watching on TV or how many instant messages I’m able to keep open at the same time. We also talk about politics, world issues, entertainment news, and other people. The latter at great length.

In December of 2007 we found out we were pregnant with our first child. After our 8 week ultrasound where we saw the fast flashing of the heartbeat and the little arm buds resembling fins, we’ve named this baby Blinkie Flipper K. She was born August 25, 2008. Her name is Lyla, but we have various nicknames for her including Peanut, Bean, and Sweet-Pea. We have a thing for vegetables.

My Extremely Hot Husband (a.k.a EHH), in addition to maintaining his extreme hotness, has two, full-time jobs; one pays our mortgage. The other is Putting Up With Me. The second is a volunteer position. However, it does have a full benefit program. With bonus. He likes cnn.com, the New England Patriots, Star Wars, graphic novels, cheeseburgers, and tacos. He also likes country music. (See? Bonus!)

EHH is also a phenomenal photographer. He takes the photos I’ve used in my blog headers over the last year. You can see his work on Flickr here.

We live in suburban Connecticut with our two very fat and very spoiled felines. We are those people that treat our animals as children. So far they’ve been pretty indifferent about Lyla joining our family. However, I do believe that one day, there will be wrath. Probably in the form of urine. And probably as a result of a tail-pulling.

I started a blog in March of 2005 during a short stint of unemployment and a long argument with reality. Since then I’ve had 3 different URL’s and 2 hosts. I hope to end that trend now with a site that is totally mine with little restriction and full customization ability. However, I’m totally retarded when it comes to that customization. I need all the help and advice I can get so if you feel like helping me with redesigns or answering my dumb tech questions, please let me know!

I write about the random craziness that is my life. I am a sitcom. You can’t write fiction this good and I can’t make this stuff up. I write about anything from current events to jeans. I will never write anything in detail about my job. I know better.

About this Site:
Pocklock.com is my avenue of creativity. I’ve always wanted to be a writer and even started out as a journalism major in college until a certain professor gave a “pep-talk” to our 101 class that included the statement, “None of you will EVER be writers!”. I changed my major to PR.

I completed my Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing which included a thesis on Interpersonal Communication. I’m still considering sending a copy to that journalism teacher. He needs a lesson on the use of “I” language.

I used to have a Daily Whatev page on this site that was updated daily. I recently changed that link to “In Short” I created this page because I want to be able to share small things instead of feeling the pressure to give you a longer narrative on my ever-so-exciting life. Since the birth of my daughter I’ve been unable to keep up with any daily commitments including one I made to myself that involved showering so I had to change it so there was less pressure. The narratives will be saved for the main page and the “In Short” is where I will share something small in few words such as; a photo, a link, an illustrated conversation, a Top 10, etc.
