Batman & Robin Stinks to the High Heavens

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

I’m flipping channels and come across Batman & Robin. Since I hadn’t seen it, I thought, “What the heck?” Now I wished I hadn’t. As good as Batman Begins was, Batman & Robin was that bad. Not just weak, but horribly wrong; it was laughable and frankly embarrassing.

Cyber Monday more myth than reality?
Whichever day is the busiest, overall gift buying online is up and that trend is likely to continue.

Thinking about buying a Blueray player? The PS3 is currently your cheapest option. Still, I’m not sold on the idea that people want their gaming console to act [...]

Survivor: Cook Islands – Week 10

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

Best episode ever! I am so impressed with Yul and his mad scientist strategy. When you think about it, he may be the greatest Survivor of all time. He’s got the strength for the challenges, he’s likeable and hardworking and he’s as smart as a tack. He’s the Dr. Will of Survivor!

Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
—America the Beautiful
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Ultrasound Technology Is Amazing

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

The clarity and sharpness of some of these images is incredible. It won’t be long before proud parents will be walking around, showing off pictures of their pre-born children on their iPods.

What’s In a Name?

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

The Net’s all abuzz over Michael Richards comedy club tirade then subsequent apology on Letterman. While it’s certainly true that this kind of behavior is “uncalled for”, angry and purposefully mean-spirited, I don’t believe it is the bane of our existence like so many make it out to be.

Some Ideas Are Just Too Good

From the latest Sports Guy mailbag. What a freaking awesome idea!
Q: My buddies and I were talking about appropriate punishments for dictators like Saddam Hussein, and we came up with an idea that works for everyone and could raise money for the International Criminal Court without using tax dollars. Why not charge admission for people [...]

‘Real’ Comedy

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Now that I’m fully immersed in the world of Real Estate, I’ve got friends sending me links/stories about the topic. Here’s a great story from my buddy Heath. It just goes to show that where there is bureaucracy, there is crap.
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client who lost his house [...]

Survivor: Cook Islands – Week 9

Friday, November 17th, 2006

Once again I’ve let my personal life get in the way of my blogging, and for that, I’m forever in your debt. I hope you won’t hold it against me. On the plus side, I did get my Real Estate license, so “Yay!” But what’s going on with Survivor?!? I miss one episode and [...]

Spammers Must Die

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Hi all, due to increased traffic, I’m receiving an abnormally large amount of spam. So, I’ve turn OFF comments until I can install some kind of spam prevention plug-in.
I appreciate each and every one of you for visiting this site! Well, except you bloody bots and spiders!
