Apparently, some guy from England has joined Major League Soccer. Buckhand or Brickman or something like that. Beckham, you say? David Beckham? Hadn’t heard much about him. All kidding aside, “Becks” could see his first Major League Soccer action tonight in Washington, D.C., against my D.C. United. I’ll be taking this one in from my […]
So Elton John has decried the Internet as destroying society, suggesting that the Web should be shut down for five years (as if there’s a headquarters that can simply pull the plug) because “(t)he Internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff.” First off, the Internet has created so […]
For the most part, I avoid reality TV. I watched a few shows back in the day, but have never watched any of “American Idol” and only an hour of the original season of “Survivor.” I usually tend to go more for the “gotcha” kind of shows. I liked “Joe Millionaire,” really liked “Joe Schmo” […]
I went to the store earlier in the week to buy some supplies. Maria and Bridget left me to my own devices for a few days. That means one thing – grilling. Well, it also means video games, staying up too late, not making the bed, drinking beer, playing music louder than usual and yelling […]

I had everything planned out for a fun Wednesday night. My friend James would meet me at work, and we would go down to Washington to see a D.C. United soccer game. We planned to leave at 6 p.m., which allowed me to get some extra work done without feeling like I was abandoning my […]
I went out to pick up lunch for myself and some co-workers yesterday. There is this awesome small supermarket with a great sandwich section near our office thatI went to. I get to the back and get in line to order our food. They had two registers working. I grabbed a menu and decided what […]
My latest column is up at Hobo Trashcan – I write there every other Thursday. This week’s tackles the serious subject of bathroom etiquette.
CBS announced yesterday that loveable schlub Drew Carey would replace Bob Barker on “The Price is Right.” I thought Carey would be a great selection as soon as I heard his name bandied about.
