This is one of the reasons that I hate politics. Let me say from the outset that I am strictly an Independent, and haven’t made up my mind about whom to vote for in the upcoming presidential election. Frankly, I don’t think either McCain or Obama can do much to turn the country around, [...]
Last year, I bought a personalized book for my son’s fifth birthday. He absolutely loved seeing his name in print and imagining himself right there in the thick of Batman’s adventures. Because of the positive response, I’ve decided to buy him similar items for Christmas and his birthday this year too.
I want to get [...]
I try to hide this as best I can, so I think only my closest friends and family members know this about me. I suffer from mild germaphobia, and wash my hands upwards of 10 times per day. I’m writing about it here because I have a feeling that my disorder might be worsening over [...]
Ok, if someone told me that a 500-mile wide raging hurricane was bearing down on my hometown and that I faced “certain death” if I remained, then you know what? I would get the hell out of there — pronto!
That’s why it simply blows my mind that some people in the Houston-Galveston area are [...]
Oh, man, I’m in serious pain right now! I broke my right pinkie finger yesterday in a stupid fall at home, and it hurts like hell! The nail is completely purple, the whole thing is swollen to a ghastly size, and I can barely move it at all.

Here are the questions:

I just got done watching the new Windows Vista commercial featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld, and my only reaction is, “WTF was that???”. It had to be one of the strangest, most nonsensical commercials I’ve ever seen. It was rambling and disjointed, with (mostly) dumb jokes sprinkled throughout. Plus, the entire ad was too [...]
I don’t care all that much about politics, so I haven’t been watching the RNC, just getting highlights from the news and the Internet. Everyone’s buzzing today about Sarah Palin’s speech at the RNC, with most analysts and experts saying she acquitted herself rather well and did what she had to do in terms of [...]
What is it about NFL players that seems to attract nothing but trouble? At about 2:45 local time this morning, offensive tackle Richard Collier of the Jacksonville Jaguars was “critically wounded” after being shot while waiting for two women outside an apartment.
Details of the shooting are still sketchy, but apparently Collier and a former Jaguars [...]
