Stupid Cops and the Stupid People That Hate Cops
I got a ticket the other day, therefore, titling a blog "stupid cops" just seemed so cathartic. I was leaving the LA Fitness in Sorrento Valley, and Officer Munoz pulled me over for not making a "complete stop". Now, most …
Pornography at the Work Place
My stepbrother, who's a teacher, has argued with me in the past about things that are appropriate for teachers. I think it was when we came out of a strip club for a friends bachelor party. I asked what would …
Cruisin' Grand
I met a guy at a party, who had a rather big house. He was talking a lot about classic cars, and I brought up my favorite car -- the Jaguar XKE. He looked at me with a weird smile …
Airplane Junk
My girlfriend doesn't like to fly. But she seems to be getting on a plane a few times each year to go back east. I think having a fear of flying isn't so crazy. I read once that it's the …
Cutting in Line
91X sometimes has these concerts where tickets are only 91 cents. And it usually consists of some pretty good bands. I went to one years ago, but can't remember the band. The other night, it was Ida Maria at the …
Leaf Blower (ain't no snow in San Diego)
The title of this sounds like it could be some Indian name. Or the nickname of a Charger quarterback. But it has to do with that annoying piece of machinery that we all hate. The first time I remember seeing …
No Bull -- Another Child Dies Because of Bad Parenting
At a Boulder County Fair, a 12-year-old was thrown and trampled by a bull. It was during a competition called "Little Britches Rodeo." Emergency personnel were on the scene, but after the bull stomped on the childs chest, there wasn't …
Standing up to a Bully
When there's a story in the news about a high school kid killing themself, you often hear they were tormented by bullies. And all the school authorities and parents, talk about the various ways to curb bullying. But I realized …
Keep the Tip!
Remember that punchline? C'mon, it's from that list of leper jokes that went around when we were kids. I've talked about tipping in blogs before, but it's always a subject worth revisiting. The Reader either had a screening, or is …
Oscar Nominations
The Oscars did something that many movie lovers are happy about. I’m not. They are increasing the number of movies nominated from five to 10. Some academy members say this has to do with all the bad press they got …
BREAKING NEWS BLOG -- Michael Jackson and Farrah Die
So, Ed McMahon died. And his death gets pushed to the side by Farrah Fawcett dying this morning. Fawcett gets overshadowed by the king of pop, Michael Jackson, dying this afternoon. I think it would take Madonna or Obama dying …
I'm So Glaad
I never thought I would blog about Perez Hilton, as I've always thought the guy was an idiot and not worth the time. I never thought he'd top the idiotic behavior he displayed in the Miss USA pagaent. Now, I …
Oceanside Cop Back to Work
My stepbrother and I usually agree on things. But we argued for hours about the cop in Oceanside. I was bothered that a jury found him not guilty, after he unloaded his .38 into a womans car, hitting her young …
Weddings
I was at the dog park today, and overheard two women talking about an upcoming wedding. I didn't hear all the details, but one was upset that she wasn't invited to a wedding that some of her co-workers were. And …
Shark Sandwiches and Drug Busts
There was a story the other day about a woman trying to cross the border. She looked nervous as she walked by with her stroller. It probably had something to do with the 10 pounds of pot she was using …
An $80,000 Song. And a Dead Pilot.
I met my liberal lawyer friend for coffee the other day. And it was nice to have discussions that didn't involve us arguing over politics, the ACLU, or anything like that. Instead, the few news stories we talked about were …
The Dog Blog -- A Walk in the Park
So, it's been almost six months that I've owned this little mutt. And it's a lot of work, but a lot of fun. I made the mistake of taking him to this park near my house. A lot of other …
Top 10 -- Famous Dead People You'd Like to Meet
I always think lists are fun to debate and play with. Although, when I did the list of best drum songs, that fell flat. I think only a few people responded. When I turned on my computer this morning, one …
Breaking the Law, Breaking the Law (when it's students)
I thought for a brief moment about blogging on another NFL player that's gotten into trouble. Donte Stallworth, who had actually gotten himself into trouble with my girlfriend. No...not an illegitimate kid or anything like that. She's just made the …
Yes Blogs
Yes has had many different members over the years, but bassist Chris Squire has been with them from the beginning. He’s the only guy to appear on every Yes album released. The most recently added members include Oliver Wakeman (Rick’s …
