Blogging for Meatballs

Blogging for Meatballs is broken down into three sections – Sports, Politics, and Life. However, if things continue as so I may have to add a “Barack Obama” section too. In all seriousness, though, I did want to get out a few more thoughts on the man. I have posted several blogs about him…none [...] Continue Reading…

(The following interview is completely made up)

Me: Ladies and gentlemen, we are here with Democratic Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. Barack, welcome to the show.

BO: Thank you, Aaron, good to be here, and I just want to say that if you’re struggling to make ends meet on a modest, middle class salary like Michelle and [...] Continue Reading…

I’ve never been a big boxing fan. The last fight I watched was Holyfield – Lewis like 6 years ago, and I admit, at the time I was more excited about the freeness of the whole night than anything. Granted, the food, drink, and pay-per-view wasn’t free for the host; it just was for [...] Continue Reading…

On October 2, 2007, I wrote about my 10 worst losses (as a fan) of all time. You can see it here. It was requested by several people at the time that I do a follow up blog chronicling my top 10 victories. I didn’t take them up on it right away, though, because [...] Continue Reading…

When I was in college, I read the book “Stranger at the Gate: To Be Gay and Christian in America.” I read it because it intrigued me. As I was picking it up for the first time I was thinking, “ok, how is the author (Mel White) going to explain this one?” It was [...] Continue Reading…

It’s been said that a recession is when your neighbor gets laid off, but a depression is when you do. True, huh. It’s no secret that the majority of Americans have a sour, pessimistic view of where our current economy as a whole is headed. Did you know, though, that the same people, if [...] Continue Reading…

Prepare for disappointment? Sheesh…that’s kind of a downer topic, right? Yeah it is, but unfortunately it’s reality. Now the reality I’m referring to is not life in general, though, so relax.
