Just when we start to think we’re invincible again, life reminds us that even the great ones fall. This year alone we lost the Oxi-Clean Guy, the King of Pop, and now…brace yourself…the Lion of the Senate. I guess it’s time to take down my prized childhood poster of Billy, Michael, and Teddy all [...] Continue Reading…

Forrest Gump famously said once that life is like a box of chocolates, because you never know what you’re gonna get. When you really break down that statement, it’s not exactly earth shattering, but I guess when a guy who was borderline retarded says something at least somewhat coherent everybody gets pretty riled up [...] Continue Reading…

For those of you who missed it, Vice President Joe Biden was in Richmond, VA yesterday (which is where I live) talking about the economy.

Cue simplistic, yet catchy, guitar riff. Say what? “Well I guess this is growing up.” That line, or perhaps more so the melody accompanying it, propelled Blink 182 to stardom over a decade ago.

If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that all things are cyclical…ok, not all things, but most things…some things? All right, so I haven’t learned anything. Where was I? Oh yeah, some things are cyclical…well, I do know of one thing for sure that is: the popularity of the NBA. It’s as predictable as the [...] Continue Reading…

All right, so who here has seen Dora the Explorer on television? Ok, good…that’s a fairly high percentage of you guys. You can put your hands down now. What’s that? Yes, I can see you. Just kidding, but I do see dead people, and I too have seen Dora. I’ve seen it more than [...] Continue Reading…
