All things considered, traffic court could've been worse. I woke up at 9:00 a.m. and took a quick shower. Since I was just going to court to plead "not guilty", I knew the judge was just going to issue a …

In a Dear Abby column from a few days ago, a woman talked about being concerned for her nephen and how he always hugged and kissed on his mother. He's a teenager now and it seems weird to her. People …

I was at the very first Street Scene. I loved the mix of bands that year, although, it did lean towards more of my classic rock taste. I saw Eric Burdon of the Animals (I'm looking forward to seeing him …

I like to mix it up with these blogs, although often times, it's me ranting about our legal system. With Dominick Dunne passing, I figured this rant would be dedicated to him. He's an author who went from writing novels …

In the LA Times on Saturday, there was a story about two buskers in England who were banned from performing for two years. The problem the Birmingham City Council had, was that the men angered residents with late-night and out-of-tune …

When that crazy, rich reality show guy killed the model...you immediately think of the Anna Nicole-Smith and Marilyn Monroes. People that died under weird circumstances at the hand of shady men involved in their lives. Well, the AP had a …

Someone left a message on my machine asking why I haven't done a blog about my dog in awhile. I thought about it, wondering if there was anything interesting that happened. My girlfriend had been taking care of a huge …

I met this cute woman from Haiti last night. We were having this great conversation, and something about an actor came up and she said "Whip out your iphone." My girlfriend had to explain to her how horrible I was …

I love that Lenny Kravitz song, and it seemed like an appropriate title for this blog. But before I get to the cabbies and athletes mixing it up, what's the deal with the Raiders? We've known for years that everyone …

I heard Miley Cyrus had another stalker. I think she's up to three at this point. And as scary as that is, I really don't care. Because her parents have done so much wrong with how they've guided her career. …

When I heard about a Brazilian TV show host that was being accused of running a death squad for ratings, I didn't give it much thought. I figured it was in another country, and I didn't really care. I did …

I think I just did a blog a week ago, about someone in a bank chasing a robber and promptly being fired. Well, it's happened again. This time it was a student, working at Best Buy in Colorado. He tackled …

I seem to rant about this in a blog at least once a week. But hey...it's a cathardic feeling to type about all these losers that get to benefit from our society. Of course, put them in other countries, and …

Jesse Jackson says something stupid about once a week. Well, I'm guessing he says something stupid daily. It's once a week that the rest of us get to hear what it is. College basketball coach Rick Pitino got into some …

I was thinking a lot about breast feeding today. It's not the usual thing guys think of when they see womens breasts. Even if you have a baby, I'm sure you don't look at your wife in a nice outfit …

I'm getting so annoyed with the San Diego Blood Bank. I've given over 15 gallons of blood to them over the years. That's a lot of needle pricks. Maybe the pain of needles is off-set by the love of free …

I was listening to a sportscaster yesterday make a "breaking announcement" about the Philadelphia Eagles signing Michael Vick. And a minute later, I got two phone calls from friends telling me the news. And two emails. It's a hot topic. …

Over in Minsk (which I hear is lovely this time of year), there was a plaster statue of Vladimir Lenin that was built in the late 1930s. Well, a drunk 21-year-old (drinking, in Russia?!) was hanging from the arm, and …

There were a few news stories floating around my head this week that I had thought about blogging. But each story had an interesting aspect about it, but not much that I could really delve into. And as the days …

On all the rock radio stations this past week, I kept hearing about Steven Tyler, the singer of Aerosmith. For those that aren't familiar with him...he actually has bigger lips (and is uglier) than Mick Jagger. He fell off a …

Entertainment Weekly is an interesting magazine. They have some writers that do great columns (Stephen King and Diablo Cody are two). They cover so much about movies, yet they always seem to give good reviews to everything. It's strange. A …

I've always enjoyed seeing tribute bands. Some of my musician friends make fun of them. They don't see the point of seeing a fake Rolling Stones band. Or a guy pretending to be David Bowie or Freddie Mercury. And I …

It's gotta be tough trying to find a hitman. You can't just find one on Craigs List. And, I can never figure out why people don't really think these things thru. If your spouse ends up dead, they're going to …

I always like when murder suspects kill themselves. I know the authorities probably hate it, because they feel they weren't able to get other info they may have needed. I just love knowing that we aren't wasting any more tax …

It's funny. When Eli Manning was coming out of college and the Chargers were talking about drafting him...he said that he wouldn't play for them. They had a reputation as low-balling players when it came to salaries. And, you can …

I did some concert pet peeves recently. I thought it was time to take it to the movies. But I've griped before about talking and cell phones in a theatre. Or children sitting behind me during a hard-core R rated …

Those Ohio police chiefs that were accused of breaking into the home of the surrogate mother of actor Sarrah Jessica Parker and Mathew Broderick, have been charged with several felonies. They allegedly were going to sell things to the paparazzi. …

The other day my girlfriend and I decided to go to Pat & Oscar's. Because hey...that's how we roll. We both hate the lobster bisque at Marine Room, but we love the bread sticks at Pat & Oscar's. What can …

I'm a sailor peg/And I lost my leg....Dropkick Murphy's. Boy, hearing that song blasting out of the speakers was one of the few good things about the movie The Departed. I thought about the lyrics to that Dropkick Murphy's song …

That attractive blonde sports reporter from ESPN named Erin Andrews...she first became a household name a week ago, when a video popped up on the internet showing her naked in a hotel room. Someone apparently filmed it from the outside, …
