Shopping the day after Thanksgiving, and thieves that strike.

So, there was a letter in the newspaper this morning, from a woman complaing about the lack of security on a Friday morning at 4 a.m. She was one of the idiots that decided, the day after Thanksgiving, to camp …

Women and breast implants; and road trips that require bathroom visits.

I thought about titling this "Mind Your Pees and Q's", but I thought more guys would check in if it was titled the way it is. I want to know why women have bought into this theory that us guys …

The latest beauty pagaent tragedy. Or was it?

Okay, so the title is a dumb pun. But I saw an episode of Salt n Pepas reality show the other night, and they were on my mind. I was a senior in high school when Push It hit. And, …

My Sunday spent in bed being sick...enjoying football and missing Van Halen.

I'm trying to watch football on Sunday, and can't enjoy the Chargers finally beating a team the way they're capable of doing - because I'm in bed sick. I call and cancel my Sunday night racquetball game because I still …

The movie No Country For Old Men is discussed, with no spoiler alert needed.

I just saw No Country For Old Men. It's the movie all the critics are raving about. The movie that will get Oscar nominations for Josh Brolin (who was great), Tommy Lee Jones (who has played this character before). The …

Things that annoy me watching TV.

When I started noticing that the TV credits of a movie would go by faster than normal, or they'd start to show them and split the screen to show you the upcoming shows the network was running; I figured I …

Idiots that don't believe we landed on the moon, or that think the Bush Administration was involved in plotting 9/11.

I was having Thanksgiving dinner with some friends. And, one of the guys I didn't know real well started complaining about the war. When he said something about Bush and Cheney knowing about 9/11 I had to stop him in …

The death of two guys heavily involved in TV commercials.

I don't know when I started reading obituaries. Sometime in my 30s, knowing that I could be one of the dudes listed there. Or, maybe it was the time I was glancing over them, and saw a friend I went …

Radiohead releasing a CD online, and nobody paying for it.

I'm kind of old school when it comes to music. I don't download songs. I just go out and buy the CDs. If I'm at a show and I like the bands new stuff, I buy it at the merch …

The girl that killed herself from a phony friend on Myspace.

So, the other story that really got me bothered was this girl in Missouri that hung herself. She was 13. I had a classmate named Michael, that hung himself when he was a year younger. What makes this story so …

Two burglars shot dead by a neighbor.

Two news stories that better result in some jail time. If not, I say we get a posse and go over there and do some Charles Bronson type of vigilante justice. Anyone in? First, there's this idiot that called 911, …

Kids being suspended, and the parents that support them.

Sometime around Halloween, a school in the Poway district had a story come out about a student that wore a ghost costume to school that his aunt made decades earlier and had been in the family for years. When a …

The Suzanne Vega concert. And the idiots in the crowd.

Blood Makes Noise. And so do concert goers. I left an amazing party in the SDSU area, to go see Suzanne Vega at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. I met a few friends there, and near the merchandise …

How many T-shirts do you need in your closet?

My friends say I'm like a chick. No, I don't have man boobs. It's just...I can't do things like program a VCR (TiVo now). I can't work on my car. And, I've always loved shopping for clothes (save the posts, …

Boy George and other 80s stars that make the police blotter.

So, Boy George was arrested the other day for chaining a guy up in his house. I laughed so hard when I saw them hauling him off. I couldn't decide which movie it reminded me more of...the scene in Pulp …

Being offended by Christmas related things.

My friend just sent me a story about a Santa Clause in Sydney, Australia that was told not to say "Ho Ho Ho" because it might be offensive, since a "Ho" is sometimes what people call prostitutes. If this isn't …

Unnecessary deaths, from airports to Yosemite.

In the newspaper today, there were three deaths all on the same page, all of which were dumb. One of them was the lady in the Phoenix airport. The woman "accidentally strangled herself" after the police arrested the intoxicated woman …

A local running club, and one of their other chapters that got into trouble.

I've gone to two parties that the local chapter of the Hash House Harriers have put on. Some crazy folks there. They call themselves a "drinking club with a running problem," and do runs all over town. The most popular …

Divorces in songs, and with celebrities.

There are a lot of great breakup songs, but The Divorce Song by Liz Phair is the best. Go find it. Download it, or buy the CD (Exile in Guyville). I also like Carole King's It's Too Late; but I …

My thoughts on ketchup, the best of all condiments.

I was at a sports bar with friends today, watching the Chargers try to give the game away. And I realized, ketchup bottles are always empty, or on the verge of running out. What's up with this? And, why do …

Reality shows have now taken over MTV and VH1.

Remember the song Video Killed the Radio Star being the first thing shown on MTV back in the early 80s? Well, now it's reality shows, that are killing MTV and VH1. And, I'm sure the folks writing sitcoms are worried. …

Try being quiet in the movie theatre, or I'm going to get all up in your face. And you're not going to like it.

You're all idiots. It's really the only conclusion I can come to. The ones that are loud in the movie theatres. And, the ones nearby that do nothing about it. Which is everyone. I went to see American Gangster the …

I thought about actress Pam Grier while watching American Gangster last night.

When my friends go ga-ga over someone like Angelina Jolie, I can never figure it out. I’m more into someone I see in a movie that is hot, but mysterious. Someone I know nothing about. I remember watching Cocoon, and …

From The Police, the group...to the real police, to Ozzy and OJ, everyone's got a "sting".

I remember as a kid seeing The Sting on HBO. I hated that Chopin piano playing every 10 minutes. As a teenager I watched the movie again, and loved it. I liked the twists. I liked the old time feel …

The writers strike in Hollywood.

I can't believe I woke up at 6 a.m. Well, I went to bed at a reasonable time last night, because I didn't watch the Daily Show, or Letterman and Conan. I'm addicted to those guys. Oh, and Kimmel. He's …

My take on hunting.

Okay, that title is misleading. It's from an old blues song that Paul Rodgers covered about 20 years ago, and Led Zeppelin stole part of in How Many More Times? (side note: what song didn't they steal something from?) I …

The guys suing the airlines for speaking Arabic while boarding an airplane.

Well, last blog the topic of speaking different languages in this country came up. And, I have a friend from Iran, and her and I got into a little debate. It's in regards to those guys that did some work …

Our country catering to people that don't speak English.

I’m a Democrat. But I side with Republicans on a number of issues. So, I don’t want this little rant to make me sound like one of those radio talk show hosts I hate. When I was in the DMV …

The DMV finally open after a week of being closed because of the fires. They should fire the employee I had to deal with.

I had the weirdest experience at the DMV today. I've needed to go there for a few weeks, but the fires closed all the San Diego offices. So, I roll into the Poway DMV. The usual 40 minute wait. They …

Old people complaining about giving out candy; and a married couple celebrates...in a weird way.

A few things about Halloween candy. I heard a couple older ladies complaining about kids trick or treating that are too old. Suggestion: if you get that worked up over who you are giving candy to, just turn your lights …
