Comments On The Iraqi Conflict And Other Ramblings In A Time Of Sobriety
Firstly, I should like to thank all coalition forces that have gone off to ‘see the elephant’ as it were, for putting themselves in the line of fire, so that I could enjoy civilian life. Truly, dying thousands of miles away in a foreign land for countrymen who may not even appreciate it is to…
Read MoreDesert Storm II, Electric Boogaloo
When war in the Middle East breaks out, you know it’s time to look at your trading card collection. Really, is there a better way to comment on the latest current events than using Topps © 1991 Desert Storm trading Cards? I think not! He was so young way back when. Colin Powell – 4…
Read MoreMy Anti-Drug is Mass Transit.
I had said before that taking public transit is a good way to have a revelation. Well, I didn’t realize how true this was… The other day, on but one round trip, one could have made a solid case against the legalization of drugs… The morning began like any other- me getting up, getting dressed,…

As you may or may not know, I have returned to the realm of college life; partially by choice and partially not. My highly skilled hide…

My birthday holds little significance to most human beings other than myself, namely because it is my birthday.

Last Wednesday the face of television was changed forever. Well, mine was anyway, as I had put my shoe through it. Yep, you guessed it; Fox had another brilliant idea in the form of Man vs. Beast, a show that pitted animals against vegetables on a network made by people with calcium deposits in the…
Read MoreNew Year? Is That Anything Like “New Coke?”
Well, everybody should be over their New Years hangovers, and resolutions should have been shredded faster than… never mind, Enron jokes were so last year. So lets get down to brass tacks (what does that mean anyways?): Predictions for the new year! I say it’s gonna stink and no good is going to come from…
