Psychics (and the idiots that use them)
I had the Dr. Laura show on for only about three minutes today in my car. I swear. She is so annoying doing that show, but there's a morbid curiosity about hearing the ding bats that call in for advice. …
Detour for Desserts (I hate cupcakes)
I guess I should clarify the title. I actually love cupcakes. What's not to love? What I hate are these places that sell fancy cupcakes. It all started six months ago. My mom made cupcakes with coconut on the top. …
Yet Another Dog Blog
My stepbrother had a German Shephard. And he hates small dogs. He's been giving me endless amounts of crap for getting a small pooch. But damn, those small dogs are so cute. Who hasn't walked into a pet store and …
Baseball Managers & Drunk Chargers
I'm not much of a baseball fan, so when a lot of the sports stations were talking about former Yankee manager Joe Torre and his book, I didn't really care. I would see him on a few of the talk …
Crazy Celebs -- The Christian Bale/Etta James edition
I was listening to Etta James rant on a few of the entertainment shows. Boy did she sound wacky. Or, whack, as the kids would say. Why does she care so much that Beyonce sang her wonderful song "At Last" …
What's Your Sign?
I remember in 5th grade, my friends and I talking about what you'd say to get a girl to go out with you. I know, it sounds silly. The girls were playing jump rope and four square, but we were …
Michael Phelps Revisited -- And a Poker Game Bust
Wow...I'm eating some breakfast and I have The View on. Those ladies are really hard to take. I think they might have a combined IQ of 85. Well, wait...I can't really say that. I know for a fact that Whoopi …
Michael Phelps -- 8 Gold Medals, 2 Drug Busts
Michael Phelps was all over the news. There were photos with his face buried in a bong. It was a good look for him. He's kinda goofy looking in other pictures I've seen. It's really strange that these celebrities don't …
There Was a Young Lady That Lived in a Shoe...
By now everyone has heard the story. I hadn't even planned on blogging on it, because I don't even know where to start. The woman that gave birth to octuplets. Apparently, all 14 of her children were conceived via vitro …
The Dog Blog -- Acquiring a Mutt
So the last time I wrote about the dog, we were second on the list to get this little white puffy bundle of fur. It was a matlepoo, and we were second on the list. I had planned to show …
Super Bowl 43 vs President 43
Is there any doubt that Super Bowl 43 is going to be a lot better than President 43? Some years the Super Bowls don't get anyone excited. The last few years we've been lucky. And it's great to hear all …
Honking at the Homeless
Yesterday morning I was running late, and of course Murphy's Law...I drove up to an accident. It probably happened an hour earlier. But the idiots in front of me all had to slow down at look at the mangled vehicle …
Talking with Peter Max
Artist Peter Max is arguably the most famous living artist. I talked to him recently, and the conversation seemed to keep going back to music. He talked about his studio in New York, that’s 30,000 square feet. He told me …
Monster Truck Shows -- death of a 6 and 93-year-old
My girlfriend and I walked in the other day and turned the TV on. There was a story about a 93-year-old man that froze to death. Now, sometimes the stories about a person freezing to death make sense. It could …
100 Point Basketball Game
As a kid, I'd read anything I could about the old-time basketball players. Their stories always fascinated me. There was the New York Knicks teams in the early 70s, with an injured Willis Reed coming out and helping them win …
Miley Cyrus Dating Habits -- And Celebrity Parents
A few celebrity stories caught my eye over the weekend. One was John Travolta being involved in an extortion plot. Someone said they took photos of his dying son in the ambulance and that they'd sell them to the tabloids …
The Dog Blog II -- The Maltese Falcon
So my girlfriend and I had gone to all the shelters. We spent lots of time on this thing. We'd drive down to Chula Vista to see one dog, and we wouldn't care for it, or other people already had …
Sports Shorts -- LT and high school violations
A few of the local sports stations (the ones that haven't fired their hosts, anyway), are talking about how the Chargers are handling the LaDanian Tomlinson situation. It's a good topic, but really, if you're a Chargers fan, you're kind …
And the Oscar Goes To....
I saw the list of Oscar nominations. A lot of what everyone would expect...Slumdog Millionaire and Benjamin Buttons getting loads of award nominations. Same with Doubt, Milk, and all the usual suspects. I saw that there was no Clint Eastwood, …
Blood and Chlorine
The other day I was at LA Fitness, having just finished a few games of basketball. I don't usually get there at noon, and when I walked in there were so many people I decided instead of waiting 20 minutes …
