Just a quick look at some of the headlines lately and I see things about how oil could reach $300 a barrel, the two largest lenders are in deep trouble, 150 banks nationwide could fail next year, Israel may strike Iran soon, the stock market is falling and Guy Ritchie is a homophobe. Yet, everyone [...]
Okay, so I’ve seen the pain olympics, 2 girls 1 cup, meat spin, and recently kids in a sand box. I can’t help but wonder if the guys who first started the internet in hopes of sharing a knowledge base cry every time someone sends them a link to one of these. It really is [...]
One of the cool things about owning a Nintendo Wii is that you can download games from old consoles and relive your childhood. Currently, I’m playing the first of the Ninja Gaiden series that came out for the original NES. It’s one of those games that I really loved, but never got over the fact [...]
Yahoo has a story about what are the most popular baby names and how they’ve changed. Why this is a news story, I don’t know, but here’s the list: 1. Jacob / Emily 2. Michael / Isabella 3. Ethan / Emma 4. Joshua / Ava 5. Daniel / Madison 6. Christopher / Sophia 7. [...]
I’m tired of death statistics. People who want money for research will tout statistics about how cardiovascular diseases kill 870,000 a year. Cancer kills around 557,000 deaths. Interesting.

Okay, for those of you who don’t know, I used to do something called “The MySpace Whore and Shirtless Douche of the Week”. Every week I would find a MySpace profile for some chick who’s self worth centered around how big of a whore she could be and one for some guy who insisted in [...]
I found the following posters at a site call MenCanStopRape.com: While I can appreciate the message, I can’t help but feel a little put off by them. I think it has something to do with the one sidedness of the campaign. There is another side and it would look something like this: Don’t get me wrong, [...]
I’ve been thinking about something to write for several hours now. I’ve got nothing, but I made a commitment to write something every weekday. I’ve heard that even if you have nothing to write about, you at least have nothing to write about to write about. That sounds like a bunch of crap to me. [...]
I needed to get gas tonight so I pull into the gas station. I get out, open the little door and unscrew the gas cap. I insert my credit card into the slot, remove the pump, select what grade I want, insert the nozzle and just as I’m about to fill up my tank, I [...]
