I think everyone who went to college had a rich buddy who never listened to anyone. He had enough money to make his mistakes negligible. Wreck a car? Dad will get him a new one. Trash his apartment during a party? Ask Mom for money for something else and use it to re-furnish. No decision […]
I took my daughter to see “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakuel” last week. I took one for the team, you might say. Surprisingly, the movie was not the most disturbing thing I saw that day. As we waited for David Cross to complete the final task in the transaction he made with Lucifer […]
The discussion of the changes at Facebook have pretty much run their course, in my opinion. Yeah, the new look has problems. Yeah, they should just leave a good thing alone. All that rings true, but those things aren’t the real problem with Facebook. The New York Times did a nice story on the site […]
My daughter told me something last night that i simply could not believe. Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday. Yep. The new law from last year or whenever pushed the date to the second Sunday in march. I hadn’t realized that was the date and totally didn’t notice that the second Sunday was so early. […]
Today ranks as one of the most important days of the year for me. Actually, this is one of the most important days in a four-year period. The U.S. men’s national soccer team takes on Mexico in a World Cup qualifer tonight at 7. Watch it on ESPN2. I think of myself as a pretty […]
So apparently, Rush Limbaugh has opened his big mouth again and said he wants President Obama to fail. I don’t get into politics here too often because I think most people have their minds made up, and the level of political discourse in this country often resembles your average argument over a toy by a […]
This issue pretty much goes back to the Super Bowl in 1991 when Whitney Houston’s version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” blew everyone away. Patriotism was at a high because of the Gulf War and so many people fell in love with her “live” version of the anthem. But was it live? Or was it a […]
I will write a review of High School Musical 3 another day. After watching the movie today, I couldn’t help but think about math equations. I particularly wanted to teach the one below to the family sitting behind us. Two parents + one 9-year-old + one 3-year-old + long movie = annoying the people around […]
I love football. I also love cable television. Therefore, to see as much football as I want, I make sure I get a high-level cable TV package. That’s how it works, people. Sometimes you have to pay for what you want. I don’t know why Arlen Specter and a bunch of other bored senators don’t […]
Like most people, I have to pay pretty close attention to gas prices these days. Things are a little out of hand, but I still have to drive to work and take care of other things. I have just accepted that the oil companies will gouge us. That’s just life. But I can’t stand how […]
