  • My life is nothing like video games

    In the wake of Hillary Clinton calling for a $90-million study on the effects of video games on children, I thought I would take a good hard look at my life: I have never rounded a corner and found a rocket launcher. A zombie has never eaten my girlfriend. If I told someone I smashed […]

  • Forgive me father…

    …for I have pirated. I have a confession. I have never used a legitimate copy of Photoshop. I have justified this many ways: I am not a designer, I use it just for fun, It is too expensive, I’ll buy it someday. Well, I finally bought it. I noticed that you could purchase CS2 for […]

  • Puerto Vallarta Vacation

    No excuse, I know, for not posting in so long, but I went on vacation for a week, then got sick, and had work coming out of my ears. Puerto Vallarta was great, stayed at a bitchen Villa up on a hill, and had a nice day golfing and losing 38 balls at the Jack […]

  • Chicago Pics

    Some food… Some shopping… Some art… Some architecture.

  • Loss of a Friend

    A really close friend and Chiropracter of my wife‘s family passed away today. He had been battling cancer about 6 months ago, and we were told it was in remission. But how he died, and the suddenness of it all isn’t the subject of this post. I didn’t know him that well, and only heard […]

  • Disneyland

    I went to Disneyland on Sunday for a friends birthday. I hadn’t been there for many years and was excited. My parents used to take my sister and I every couple of years. Sometimes they would tell us the night before where we were going, which would prevent me from sleeping with the anxiety of […]

  • Chicago Thoughts

    Chicago was AWESOME! All four of us were blown away by how great it was there. I definately will be going back. My quicky thoughts: Chicago Dogs rule. I had one every day I was there. It was tough finding it in the airport, but after 30 minutes of walking they were mine. Next time, […]

  • Off to Chicago

    Going to Chicago tomorrow for Memorial Day with my wife, her sister and my bro-in-law. Staying at Le Meridien, so it should be pretty nifty. I think the plan so far has to do with shopping, museums, walking around, nightclubs and food. The specifics elude me. The women know all the specifics, which I am […]

  • System of a Down

    I have mentioned System's newest album Mezmerize before, but I was listening to it in the car and had some revelations. If you haven't heard System before, the best way I can describe them is “frantic bitch slaps”. I say this seriously, because their music will go from a more soothing, normal melody to a […]

  • Yahoo Music Engine

    I have been really enjoying the Yahoo Music Engine, along with the Y! Unlimited access. With it, you can download an unlimited number of tracks and abuse them until you stop paying the monthly fee. It is exactly what Napster offers, but at 1/3 the price. You can pay $4.99 per month if you sign […]
