I make very little secret that I despise Charlie Sheen and ‘Two and a Half Men’ with a passion greater than the Pope has for Christ. So I am torn, because I am not normally the type of person that tramples on man’s… well… not grave… ummmm… tramples on a man’s hallucinogenic flying galactic unicorn. Suffice it [...] So I am told that 27 years ago today I was born into this world. I say “I am told”, because who knows if I can trust my parents… They lied to me about Santa and the Easter bunny for years. This really isn’t a milsetone, but then again milestones are arbitrary anyway. If we [...] As recommended by a friend and source of always different and enjoyable reading/viewing material, I recently started watching “True Blood”. For those of you that haven’t seen it, I will try not to issue too many spoilers, at least none that a pre-pubescent goth freak couldn’t grasp about 12.5 minutes into the first episode. The [...] Sometimes advertisers don’t seem to understand how things will look or read after they spend their 9-5 day creating the ads.
JD and Their Ducks It’s very good that Jack Daniel’s would like to let us know about their expert quality controllers.

I therefore have decided to introduce a recurring feature to this site where I use the power of my Blackberry’s camera to bring you interesting things I encounter on my day-to-day adventures. Today’s edition is [...] Natural selection is an interesting subject. I was thinking, many animals have developed all sorts of mechanisms to protect themselves or to detect other predators: camouflage skin, heightened smell, night sight etc. But one thing I don’t understand is: Why the hell do they not change the way they taste? Think about it… if a [...] I don’t usually tote things on my blog. I am not much of a toter… can you verbize the word tote? Is verbize a word? Anyway, grammar lessons aside, I just watched the movie “Stranger than Fiction”. Apparently this came out last year and was recently released on DVD. I had never heard of it, [...] |
