Good morning Hokeyfolks! Can I call you that? So here’s a spot of evolution for our burgeoning bastion of blistering blogging boombasticism (Stan Lee is going to sue me for that); Hokeyblog was selected to join the Jeff Galloway Blogger Program! Rejoice! OK but seriously now, I have been a follower, fan, and adherent of…
In order to shake off the stench of commercial disappointment that accompanied their three previous albums (Unmasked, Music From “The Elder”, Creatures of the Night), Kiss was now at the biggest crossroads of their career. After being increasingly viewed as a dated relic of the 1970s, their album sales continued to suffer. One more flop…
Destroyer was Kiss’s larger-than-life effort to keep momentum rolling after the multi-platinum success of their landmark 1975 live album Alive!. After releasing three studio albums to middling results, the band bet the farm on an album that endeavored to replicate their “live concert” experience, and successfully at that, even if the amount of actual “live…
OK, so sometimes I shouldn’t be so quick to judgment. Or rather, dig deep enough and you’ll find gold in them there hills. Or maybe even, sometimes the stars align and something’s rising or something else is in retrograde and blablabla is in the seventh house and OK I’ll get to my point now: I…
So let’s just address this straight on, shall we? Remember last year when I swore I would never, ever, EVER run the Miami Marathon & Half Marathon again? I mean, like, never ever NEVER ever??

The 2015 Walt Disney World Marathon was Day 2 of the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge and Day 4 of the Dopey Challenge and Day 1 of the Holy Crap I’m Running A Freakin’ MARATHON Challenge for those who eschew the fancy crap and would prefer to just put their head down and run…
The 2015 Walt Disney World Half Marathon, which took place on Saturday, January 10, 2015, represented a lot of things to me: it was my 23rd half marathon, my third time running this particular race, and the first leg of the Goofy Challenge — a two day, 39.3 mile endurance thingamabob during which you run…
Well it’s not like you DIDN’T know this was coming, right? For those of you new to the entire Hokeyblog mishegas, here’s the abbreviated recap: most (but not every) time we here at Hokey Industries Ltd. decide to participate in a Run Disney event, we print up custom race shirts to celebrate the festive fun…
So imagine that, 2014 is winding down into its final week. We stand at the cusp of a new year and all I can think to myself is, “Wasn’t it Memorial Day, like, three seconds ago?? Memorial Day 2012, even???” Time is like this bottomless pit we just keep falling into, except someone’s having fun…
