I recently started running and I can honestly say that I've never felt better.  It took me a while to get into, I'm glad I stuck it out and can actually start to feel the benefits of regular excercise on my body.  It's been a while since I've excercise on a consistent basis, but lately I've definitely been feeling more energized throught out the day.  I... [Read more...]

Is anyone planning on going to see Dinner for Schmucks this weekend?  I have a feeling it's going to be hilarious.  Just learned that the guy with the beard from The Hangover (found out his name is Zach Galifianakis) is in it.  Need I say more.  Here is a semi-interesting fact I found out about the movies star, Steve Carell...when he was younger, he... [Read more...]

I love a good coffee.  And I love the eclectic atmosphere of a cool coffee shop.  Which brings me to my new poll for you all here at Steeplechase (or anyone else who stops by our blog).  Which coffee shop in the metro Knoxville area to enjoy going to the most?  If it's "other" leave me a comment and tell me where.

Get ready for some German-engineered good fun this weekend, folks!  The Knoxville Volkswagen Motor Club will be hosting Summer Jam on Saturday, July 24 and Sunday, July 25.  Don't worry, you don't have to own a Volkswagaon to join the fun, you just have to be prepared to listen to some great music and check out some cool cars.  Is that too much to ask? Summer... [Read more...]

When it comes to eating a meal, the "brunch" can't be beat.  "Why," you ask.  The answer is simple.  At no other meal would it be perfectly acceptable and normal to group pancakes, bacon, curry chicken salad and frozen yogurt (all personal faves of mine) on your plate at the same time - and then wash it down with a cocktail.  You just can't beat brunch! So... [Read more...]

Because Steeplechase is a pet friendly apartment community, we feel that it's important to be friendly to your pets.  And that means making sure that they have the best foods and treats.  Here is a video that shows how to make a healthy, inexpensive snack biscuits for your dog with organic ingredients.  It's pretty easy to make. And when he's done... [Read more...]

I'm a hip-hop junkie.  My fave groups are Wu-Tang Clan and The Roots.  But I'm trying to get more into the whole indie rock scene.  A friend of mine told me to check out a group called The Whigs.  Have you heard of them?  From what I'm told,  they're from Athens, GA and they have a pretty good national following. They've done several late night... [Read more...]

If you've read a few of my blogs here on the Steeplechase community blog, you can probably figure out that I'm full of random, useless information.  For example, in the movie Despicable Me, the main character Gru is planning a heist to steal the moon. Well, did you know that every year, the moon uses the Earth's rotational energy to propel itself further into... [Read more...]

The Fourth Kind Set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where--mysteriously since the 1960s--a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients... [Read more...]

What is July 4 without fireworks in Knoxville?  I'll tell you...it's just plain un-American.  That's like sweet tea with no sugar and Gladys Knight without the Pips.  It just doesn't work.  I'm here to make sure that you know where to go this weekend to celebrate the 234th birthday of our great country! Your going to want to make sure that you make it... [Read more...]
