Charges add up in a hotel room.

I get into my room at the Westin. Big room, huge bathroom. I loved it. I don't stay at hotels all that much. But, enough to know that when there's a fridge stocked with booze, pulling bottles out will cause …

Finally, an actual "crasher" in the "daily crasher".

When I went to the party at the W downtown, I hadn't planned on writing about it. But so many people asked me if I would. And, I'm sitting in a hotel room in New York, so I figured I …

Sydney Pollack directs that great movie in the sky.

I remember when Billy Wilder died, talking a lot about his movies with my friends. He had done some of my all-time favorites (Some Like It Hot, etc). But he was in his 90s. Sure, when Sydney Pollack died last …

Children being loud in Tio Leo's, and falling off a 100 foot cliff.

I was at Tio Leo's the other day and this little rug rat wouldn't shut up. He was with his dad. Some goofy looking blonde guy who would occasionally say "Shhhh!" His kid jumped around in the booth. Yelled and …

Children being surprised by their father at school, when they were in Iraq.

This is going to sound like something stupid to complain about, but what the hell. I was going thru the channels today and one of those shows like Inside Edition, was showing military fathers that were surprising their kids. They'd …

A weekend of sports activities.

A lot of fun sporting events over the weekend. I never watch any kind of auto racing. But, I happened to be home in the middle of that Indy 500. And, I was rooting against Danica Patrick. When she first …

My mom leaves stuff on her sidewalk for people to take.

I saw something on Headline News about people having garage sales. One guy was talking about how much it gets him talking with the neighbors. I just thought...how weird it must be for the neighbors to see all your crap. …

Dealing with people that don't have a clue.

The amount of people you see in one day that have no clue, is astounding. It started at LA Fitness. Unless I'm there at 5 to 6 p.m., I can't find any racquetball games. It was early in the day, …

Their explanation on why I won't be getting my $600.

The IRS. What a bunch of idiots. I get a letter from them saying that I owe another $983 in taxes. With a few bucks interest. Okay, scratch that. My tax lady, she's an idiot. I sent them the check …

When a bear attacks, do you yell and try to look aggressive to scare it off? Or do you play dead? The jury is still out.

I heard a reporter on CNN say that you should take kids away from the screen. That immediately got me looking. A man had survived an attack by a grizzly bear by playing dead. The problem was, it didn't stop …

Charles Barkley's gambling.

I was going to blog about a basketball injury today. I've currently been playing with a bunch of guys that don't know what they're doing. This little Jewish kid, that looks like that bartender from Sex and the City but …

Should sports change their rules for athletes with a disability?

I heard a story on Headline News today about an autistic boy that isn't allowed with his mom in church anymore. I then turn the TV on in my office and see on the scroll down below, that it says …

A few more celebrities announce reality shows.

I heard Lindsay Lohan's mom is going to get a reality show soon. What I can't figure out is...she's the mother of someone famous. Does anyone really care? Probably. Those reality shows are all popular. And I have to admit, …

California overturns the law banning same sex marriage.

I have an older friend. She's in her 60s. And she's surprisingly hip. One example is the other day when I walked in and there were a handful of people. She said to me, "Hey Josh, you can get married …

Famous people appearing in Playboy, and the Miley Cyrus controversy.

For some reason, Playboy magazine has come up with me and my friends a lot lately. It hasn't come up this much with me since the time I was 13, and my friend Patrick and I plotted in great detail …

A few airline stories.

I heard the story about Jetblue making someone stay in the bathroom during a flight. The guy is suing. I'm not sure I buy the entire story. Apparently, this guy got a free flight from a friend or family member …

A few prom stories in the news.

Every year there are a few prom stories that pop-up. It's usually a couple of guys that want to go the prom together. The school wigs out. The ACLU gets involved, saying gay couples should be allowed the same rights. …

Dinner and a show at a jazz club in Los Angeles.

I never complain about gas prices. I remember hearing Adam Carolla once say something like "I hope gas goes up to $20 a gallon. I'll still be able to afford it. And, all those idiots on the road that don't …

KUSI's Rod Luck arrested in San Francisco.

It's time for KUSI to get rid of Rod Luck. Seriously. If they keep him, that would be an insane PR move. First, let's look at a little history here, since I've lived in San Diego the entire 38 years …

More police beatings in the news, and a dentist in Carlsbad that profits from having a loud, disruptive party.

In a week, two different videos popped up showing cops beating the tar out of people. I contacted the police awhile back. I told them they really need to send undercover or Internal Affairs people out and see how cops …

The best comedy troupe ever.

You can argue which comedy troupe you think is the best. Monty Python, to me, were always overrated. And, that British humour is so hit-and-miss. The original Saturday Night Live cast was amazing. It's hard to top John Belushi, Gilda …

The San Diego resident who has to go back to prison.

I hear people debate this at the water cooler daily. Not the water cooler at the Reader. I don't hang out there. But, various water coolers. Oh yeah, I go into offices around the city, and listen to what all …

My complaint on the rating system, and movie commercials.

I've complained so much about people talking in movie theatres, the price of a 32 oz. Coke, and countless other things. But, I wanted to go a different direction this time. I saw the movie The Visitor the other night. …

Hillary Clinton using sports analogies.

I remember years and years ago, when Hillary was campaigning in New York. She put on a Yankees cap, and I believe she said the Yankees were her favorite team. Someone pointed out her mentioning the Cubs being her favorite …

Recent stories involving idiotic 911 operators.

It seems that every few years, you'd hear some crazy 911 call on the news. It would usually involve a person that called and wanted directions somewhere, with an angry operator telling them 911 is only for emergencies. Sometimes, you'd …

Seeing the movie Iron Man, and commenting on it.

If I was Iron Man, or any super hero like that, I would use my powers for good. Sure. But, I'd also use them for evil. I'm not talking about the way Jim Carrey made the womans dress fly up …

Golfer John Daly and a hockey player, running around without all their clothes on.

I remember being amazed when I did a story on a nudist colony nearby. They do so many events naked. I saw the sign-up sheet for volleyball, and couldn't help think how injured someone might get when the ball was …
