Taking a Stand by Refusing to Stand

·

With this being the last day of school for the kiddies this week, I thought a few stories about kids would be interesting. Especially since Headline News just ran one. In New York, a 13-year-old boy with Aspergers was in …

The Blood Blog -- The Chargers Blood Drive

·

I told myself I’d never go to the Chargers Blood Drive again. The few times I had done it previously, the crowd was too much to deal with. But I had a few friends going, so I thought I’d give …

Mothers

·

Pink Floyd and John Lennon have great songs about mothers. Albert Brooks has a great movie about a mother. And "mother" really spruces up a certain curse word nicely. Maybe a blog about moms would be more appropriate on Mother's …

Observations From the Drive-In

·

The Reader ran an interesting story about drive-ins. I believe Jay Sanford wrote the piece. I remember as a 3-year-old, my dad carrying me in after I had fallen asleep during the drive-in. My older brother and I would try …

Jewlery Heists and Transporting Valuables

·

I heard that someone was robbed of $40,000 of jewels the other day. It was on some AM news station. And I'm assuming it was a home invasion. Unless you're Liz Taylor (or a rapper), you aren't walking around with …

The Oprah Brouhaha

·

So, there's this Eggo waffle shortage. And it comes the same time Oprah Winfrey has decided to end her talk show. Coincidence?! Okay, that was a cheap joke. And not even a funny one. I wanted to start the blog …

The Biggest Loser. Is it Shawne Merriman, Levi, or Palin?

·

Celebrity news can sometimes be interesting. Sometimes it's boring. But there are a few things that involve people saying one thing about a person, that you can clearly call BS on without knowing all the details. It's funny, because I've …

300 Times

·

There were a few interesting stories I couldn’t decide between blogging on. There was that idiotic, 86-year-old owner of the Tennesse Titans. As his team beat the Bills, he decided to flip off the crowd. And it cost him $250,000. …

Football Stuff

·

It's always fun talking football with the sports fans on Monday and Tuesday. We talked about the idiot coach that went for it on 4th and 2, and basically cost his team the game against the undefeated Colts. There's the …

Hangin' on the Telephone

·

Okay, it’s time for some phone rules to be established, because nobody seems to know how to use them anymore. It’s really odd, if you think about it. With everyone having a cell phone, people should’ve gotten better at it. …

Pain in the Glass

·

I saw some great art over the weekend, which made me think of something I did last weekend at Balboa Park. In the Spanish Village they had a collection of glass artists. And the stuff is still on display and …

Athletes Gone Wild -- College Soccer, Football, and Tyson Edition

·

Mike Tyson was arrested for punching a paparazzi. Apparently the guy followed him into a bathroom. Not a smart move, following a guy into a bathroom that did jail time for rape. And would routinely knock out huge men within …

Facebook and Food Fights in School

·

I remember being in 8th grade, and sneaking into a movie theatre with my stepbrother to see Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And it's still one of the best teen movies ever made. After seeing that, everyone tried ordering pizza …

The Diaper Darling -- Astronauts Gone Wild

·

I initially thought I'd write a blog about the possible Aerosmith break-up. It just lends itself to so many possibilities. Would Aerosmith find a singer as ugly as Tyler? Would they go for someone as old? Or would they find …

Blinded by the White -- Sammy Sosa and Amy Winehouse Get Goofy

·

A few celebrities are in the news for changes to their personal appearance. Amy Winehouse finally made it out of rehab, and decided the next best move would be breast implants. I’m guessing she’ll probably get another few tattoos to …

Weird Police, Weird DUI

Anyone hear that 911 call last week? The one where an older woman was reporting a drunk driver and the 911 operator asks if she’s following them. She replies, “I am them.” The operator has the great response of “You …

Caging Elephants and Catching Trains

I was super swamped over the weekend. And this caused me to miss an opera some college kids were putting on at Point Loma Nazarene. I’m not much of an opera fan, but one of the kids wanted a write-up …

A Few Observations Over the Weekend

I was driving thru Mission Valley and noticed two Hooter's girls standing on the corner working. By working, I mean, for the restaurant. One had a hoola hoop, but on her arm. Another had a sign. I couldn't read what …

The People Celebrities Marry

I remember a time, well over 10 years ago, when I dated a woman who told me her last boyfriend was a guy that was currently playing power forward/center for the Phoenix Suns. It was a player I liked. The …

Marketing Geniuses

I had lunch at Chipolte, and saw a sign at the Baskin @ Robbins right next door. They had a new cone called a “double header”. I thought that was probably to ride the buzz of the World Series. The …
