April Fool’s Fight Night

I almost forgot to put these up. Almost. It seems like such a long time since the last UFC event. Here’s the standings between Steve Sabo and myself.
Steve: 33 - 15 (8 perfect picks)
Josh: 30 - 18 (9 perfect picks)
We’ve got another UFC Fight Night which means free on Spike. UFC uses these shows to [...]


Fat Head Movie

I just watched a great new movie about what can happen if you eat nothing but fast food for a month called Fat Head. Wait, didn’t someone do that years ago and call it something else? Yes, but this movie is a bit different. See, the premise is the same with a slight twist. What [...]


Diet Scamming

I just watched a video about an Acia Berry scam where these companies send you a free trial but wind up sending you bottle after bottle of this stuff and charge you hundreds of dollars and don’t give you a chance to cancel. Kind of like how Girls Gone Wild sends you video after video [...]


Yes, more laws!

So, there’s this family wants tougher laws against sexting.
 
This couple had a daughter who sent nude photos of herself to her boyfriend via cellphone. The boyfriend being the dude that he was, shared those pics with all of his friends who were also good bros and they forwarded those photos to their friends. Apparently hundreds of kids [...]


One Special President.

On a whim, I decided to check the results and scores in bowling for the 2008 Special Olympics, and wouldn’t you know it, all of the Google results so far have been about President Obama’s appearance on Leno last night. He made a joke about his bad bowling ability saying “It was like the Special [...]


Sorry, I can’t get mad.

I’m having a hard time getting angry about the things I’m apparently supposed to be angry about. Right now, the biggest outrage in the news seems to be AIG and bonus money.
 
AIG gets $170 billion in bailout money from the US Taxpayer. Now, everyone is up in arms about AIG executives receiving $165 million in [...]


This Internet Do-hicky

Maybe it’s my first real step into old man territory, but the internet is starting to scare me. I keep hearing about new things like Google’s Latitude which uses your friends cellphones to tell you where they are at that moment. It starts off with, sounding interesting, but quickly turns to, disturbing.
 
“Well, you have to [...]


I sound like an emo douche.

I’m starting to feel like I want to unplug.
 
Every day there’s a swirl of information, disinformation, news, gossip, opinions, ideas, plans, complaints, promises and more. At some point, everything begins to feel fake; as if every moment is designed for entertainment and doesn’t have a real purpose.
 
My problem is, I enjoy being hooked into this [...]


Being a fan sucks.

Two years ago, I decided that I was done with being a fan of comedians. I still enjoy comics like Louis CK or Joe Rogan and would even pay to see them. I will not be going out of my way to do so. If I have to cancel something else, I’m not doing it. [...]


UFC Weekend Recap

Holy crap, this last weekend was great. I’ll be posting about the downside tomorrow, but for now, I just want to be positive.
 
I went to a live event about a year and a half ago and left with a soured mood on going to a live UFC. This weekend changed my opinion of that. Not only were [...]
