View ArticleIt's "die" with a "t" on the end
Diet is a frequent topic of conversation around my friends because, well, I bring it up a lot. Anytime we eat out I do all kinds of culinary acrobatics killing an otherwise good day of eating. It's a...
View ArticleSo are you guys even trying? pt. 1 (Wolverine review)
*SLIGHT SPOILERS*I didn't have high expectations for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. For one thing, as much as I love the character, he isn't terribly deep. Even with all the pages of backstory he's still...

I watched the Desperate Housewives season finale. I watched the creepy-ass Dave as he was thwarted by his own insanity. Watched Katherine stand at the airport like the lonely girl at the school ball....

On Healthcare:I'm far from a healthcare expert, but everyone agrees the system is broken, which makes the lack of motion on the issue that much more frustrating. Too many Blue Dog Democrats are too...
View Article30 minus 1
Today is my 29th birthday. The old axiom says "Age is just a number", but it seems too soon to be this close to 30. Maybe the problem is me. I already think as though I'm already 30 and I think of 30...

This is the web page to make payments for services in my city. Even though I've lived in my home for two months, I just received my first water bill and it only covered the last 15 days. I hate writing...

I think we've all been here before: you meet someone fun and exciting, they seem just as into you as you are into them, and all the pieces seem to fit. And you've liked people before, but this one...

The end of the oughts (or the naughts or whatever the hell you want to call them) inclines me toward making some sort of authoritative declaration of the best video games of the decade. However, I...
View ArticleLegion - Terrible movie
Occasionally I see a movie so bad it becomes the new benchmark by which I measure shitty movies. Ultraviolet's ugly special effects, bad dialogue, and impossible-to-follow action elevated it to the top...
View ArticleTiger Woods cheated, can we get back to real news now?
Don't get me wrong, cheating on your spouse is inexcusable no matter who you are, which is why Tiger apologized to his wife and family, the ONLY people owed an apology. But I'm sick of the media and...
View ArticleOn Growing Old Alone
The so-called "black marriage crisis" is the story that won't die in the media. A high percentage of black men and women have never been married, up to twice the percentage of the number among whites....
View ArticleRambling Commentary on Final Fantasy XIII

View ArticleKeep 'em short and sweet
I finished God of War 3 awhile back. The game can be best summed up as “God of War 2 in HD”, which is fine with me. To my knowledge, God of War is the only series where you can kill a minotaur by...
