Drug Busts at Schools
I remember when the story came out about 6 months ago. I forgot all the details, but it involved a principal at some school confiscating a kids beeper or cell phone. I guess it was a cell phone. Nobody really …
Coffee From Heaven
For the second week in a row, the Tyler Perry movie is number one at the box office. I can't believe that. Is our society so insane that they frequent such crappy entertainment? And, I heard someone on the radio …
Last Chance Homeless
Wow, what incredible weather we had yesterday. Okay...maybe the weather is incredible today, but I haven't been outside yet. My girlfriend and I went downtown. We called a friend to see if she wanted to meet us at a certain …
Racism in the News
Last week, maybe the week before, the New York Post had a cartoon that showed cops shooting a chimp. It was right after police had to kill the ape living with that woman in Jersey (thinking about it...if your an …
Sketch Artists, Homeless, and Jobless.
This morning I'm dropping my dog off at his day care, and a homeless guy attacked me. I was running across the street with my dog, because cars were waiting to turn. And I know when I'm in a car, …
Greatest Sports Movies Ever
The LA Times did a list of the best football movies right before the Super Bowl. And that, combined with the Oscars, got me thinking about my favorite sports films. So, I thought I'd write a blog listing my 20 …
The Dog Blog -- Furry Tales
My girlfriend and I went to see comedian Jim Breuer, the former Saturday Night Live and Half-Baked star. He was at the Improv in Irvine. His set wasn’t very good (one of the opening comedians was actually funnier). But he …
Oscar Re-Cap
I'm not going to talk about what people wear. I always thought that element was lame (but what the hell was with Goldie Hawns outfit?) When watching the show last night, I saw Valentino talking. I thought it would've been …
Bungling Bicycle Burglars
Burglary stories are always fun to blog about. Probably more fun to watch on those shows that catch the crooks on camera. In Bellevue last week, a man made sure a couple burglars in his house didn't get away. No...he …
McDonald's in the News...and Domestic Abuse
I woke up this morning at 10:30. I grabbed the paper from outside, and turn on the news. My girlfriend is out walking the dog. And a few stories catch my eye. The first says that singer Rhianna might be …
What do Michael Jackson, Obama, and Ghandi all have in common?
Since I collect music memorabilia, I can appreciate when I hear about things being auctioned off. George Michaels paid a million bucks for the white piano John Lennon owned (and wrote "Imagine" on). I would've paid that if I had …
Juries and Court Cases
I couldn't believe after two days of deliberation, the jury came back in this firefighters case, and did the right thing. They awarded those four firefighters that were forced to be in the gay pride parade, around $34,000 between them. …
Furious George -- Chimps Gone Wild!
You know how you laugh at something you shouldn't? A person might walk into a glass door they didn't notice was shut, and they're visibly hurt. But you laugh. I had one of those moments when I was heading home …
The Oscar Pool
A few of my friends think I have a gambling problem. I don't. I love betting on football. I used to love betting on boxing. But when I bet $100 on Evander Holyfield to lose a fight, and he clearly …
We'll Be in the Hudson -- Airplane Landing on Water
I have three friends named Joe. And Joe #1 (meaning, not that he's my favorite of the Joes, just the one I've known the longest)...he hates every movie he sees. At first I just thought he was really strict with …
Let's Get Physical -- with Newton-John!
It wasn't my recent blog that mentioned a few 70s songs that got me thinking of Olivia Newton-John. It was a few other things. On the news the other day, they said authorities think they located her ex-boyfriend. If you …
Fox on the Run
Ah, the memories I have about the word "fox" from being a kid in the 70s. There was the cheesy song by Sweet (or as one of my friends called them "The Sweet"). Sweet was one of those bands that …
Python Parents Arrested
I can't believe it. Finally, the authorities arrest a parent that deserves it. In Las Vegas a few days ago, I read this story. Now on the news, I hear the parents were arrested. Their 3-year-old boy was attacked by …
Late Night Laughs
I love watching Letterman and Conan, and going to Jimmy Kimmel during the commercials. Last night, Paula Abdul was a guest on Leno, whose show I never watch (unless there's a commercial on the other channels and I actually know …
Valentine's Day Coming Up (the perfect VD story)
I met someone at a coffee shop for lunch, and grabbed an Espresso. Not the drink, but the large paper you see at local coffee shops. They have some of those interesting stories I enjoy reading. One about a death …
