I woke up with a wicked headache (which I still have) and excessive nausea (which is present but still lingering). So, unfortunately, I had to call in to work. It also meant I didn’t have time to get up early this morning and write the blog post I had scheduled for today.
So, of course, […]
Guilty pleasure: “The Jersey Shore.”
I know, it’s an awful show, but I just couldn’t look away. If anything, I think that the folks on this were more than a little misguided, but ultimately harmless. Hell, honestly? I even grew to like some of them.
One of the cast members, DJ Pauly D (who billed […]
I’ve been noticing something that I not only find disheartening, but reminds me just how far I have to go to become a better person.
Many of my friends, perhaps to vent frustration at circumstances beyond their control, have taken to Twitter to express their frustrations.
Griping on the internet. Shocking, I know.
In these […]
Ladies, I need your help again.
This time I’m confused about your nails.
I don’t mean I’m confused about what nails are. Wikipedia tells us that they’re toughened keratin at the end of an animal digit (that’s what she said). I’m confused, rather, as to why so many women continue to spend time, money, and […]
Rather than go through the work of writing another blog post, here’s links to things that are ACTUALLY INTERESTING. Go figure!
A Golden Arm, a Head of Steel and Feet of Clay – Chuck Miller’s fantastic essay on Ben […]
The prevalence of Facebook and social media in the day to day lives of individuals has blurred the line between the public and the private. While it has bucked the tradition of anonymity provided by the internet, it hasn’t come with the increase in discretion that one would associate with having your name and public […]
I came home last night to the news – or rather confirmation – of Peter Steele’s death.
Peter Steele was the lead singer of Type O Negative, an outfit whose heavy distorted bass and organ-driven dark metal struck a chord with a surprising number of people given its tone. For much of the day rumors […]
Today is Jackie Robinson day.
On this date sixty-four years ago, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball by taking the field with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a risky move for all involved, but one that was deemed necessary from both a competitive and moral standpoint.
It was a move two years in […]
Reading some of the reactions to the story about would-be Gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino has me appalled and disgusted.
A series of e-mails forwarded by Paladino to various politicos have been released; charming […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a very politically-minded person, nor am I what most people would consider patriotic. Although I don’t harbor any resentment towards this country and I appreciate being born here, I don’t make it a point to hang a flag on my porch or sing “Proud to Be […]
