I was all set to do a blog on Rush Limbaugh, and how he was denied a chance to own an NFL team. But another story involving something filled with hot air came up. It involved a boy who supposedly …

I never cared much for Carly Simon. By that I mean, I never cared much for her songs. As a kid, I remember her hit “Anticipation” was a ketchup commercial. The song “You’re so Vain,” bugged me because it’s written …

Yesterday was a day filled with overrated stuff. The afternoon started with a debate I had with a few friends that loved Zombieland. This movie is getting great ratings from the critics everywhere. The film did absolutely nothing for me. …

I’ve listened by to my stepdad, a hardcore union man, complain for years about people not buying American cars. He claims that Japanese cars aren’t any better, and when magazines like Car & Driver dispute that, he would just say …

I had a classmate in junior high named Jeremy. He had a bit of a stutter. I hadn’t thought about him in over 20 years, but I had a few friends that recently went to the Pearl Jam concert. And …

I didn’t think there was much of a story with the black Barbie doll that came out. I was going thru the channels, and heard the women of The View talking about it. Whoopi turned it around, joking that it …

It’s funny how some people decide to use technology. I mean, even going back to the answering machine. When I was a kid and answering machines started to become popular, it was the idea of not missing a call when …

I ran into an old friend from high school and he said something I thought was a bit hurtful. He said, “I’ve seen your stories in the Reader. The parties are fun to read about. But your blog…you kinda come …

I hate when I come up with an idea for a blog, and then I get completely thrown for a loop by something else. I saw a few animal stories in the paper that were just perfect to combine into …

Cops get called out to such bizarre fights. The one in Huntington Beach the other morning at 5:20 a.m. has to take the cake. People were outside an apartment complex arguing over who sold more albums. It was the Beatles …

I had a birthday party at Fillippi's. I invited about 25 of my friends. I thought it would be odd to invite everyone I knew, as some people I've had relationships with that were stronger years ago, and I only …

I went to traffic court Friday. It's funny, because a guy named Ken (who's written a few stories for the Reader) sent me a certificate that gets me into one of those comedy driving schools. It was such a sweet …

I actually didn't plan on blogging about Letterman. I'm a big fan of his, and the story fascinates me. But I'm going to admit something. I was at an interesting party tonight, and drank way too much. I got home …

When I write about the idiots I see on the news or in the newspaper, sometimes I have to think twice about it. For example, I heard about a guy lifting weights that dropped the thing on his neck as …

Remember when emailing first started becoming the way to communicate? We found out which of our friends were spell check nazis. Which of our friends had more fun typing smiley faces then actual content? Which of our friends freaked out …

I got one of these chain letter emails. But this one I found rather interesting. I did a bit of research, something I hate I do. I had to, though. I wanted to make sure the story was legit. And …

I remember hearing an old person years ago asking why it was called a Blue Tooth, when it goes in your ear. I wonder what he’d think of the eyetooth story I heard about a few weeks ago. A 60-year-old …

I was all set to write about the two idiot celebrities in the news, and then former El Cajon resident Tawny Kitaen throws me off by getting popped for a DUI. I have to mention her, because she was recently …

I’ve been on the crusade to have people over the age of 70 having their drivers licenses taken away from them. Even more so after yesterday. I was at a party, and this adorable woman that was probably in her …

Stalkers are really hard to figure out. I remember a few girlfriends in high school that cheated on me. I ended the relationship and moved on. Some of them wanted me back and I told them to get lost. I …
