Crack is Whack
Another child actor arrested.
Younger people won't remember who Tatum O'Neal is. I barely remember her being the youngest female to win an Oscar (for Paper Moon). I think she was also the female in Bad News Bears (the Walter Matheau version, not Billy …
Black Belt on Broadway
A Bruce Lee musical in the works.
I love New York. The shows, the deli's....and stop telling me about D.Z. Akin's. It's so overrated. Yeah, sure, it might be the best in the San Diego area. But so what. Stew, not the crazed baby from Family Guy, …
A Short One (While He's Away)
Hotel room noise.
Sorry. This isn't about The Who (that is a great tune, isn't it?) But, since I'm on vacation, I didn't want to spend it sitting in front of a computer doing blogs. It's almost 4 a.m. and the people in …
Buy Me Some Peanuts & Cracker Jack
Charges add up in a hotel room.
I get into my room at the Westin. Big room, huge bathroom. I loved it. I don't stay at hotels all that much. But, enough to know that when there's a fridge stocked with booze, pulling bottles out will cause …
Reader Party at the W
Finally, an actual "crasher" in the "daily crasher".
When I went to the party at the W downtown, I hadn't planned on writing about it. But so many people asked me if I would. And, I'm sitting in a hotel room in New York, so I figured I …
Favorite Director Dies
Sydney Pollack directs that great movie in the sky.
I remember when Billy Wilder died, talking a lot about his movies with my friends. He had done some of my all-time favorites (Some Like It Hot, etc). But he was in his 90s. Sure, when Sydney Pollack died last …
Out of Control Kids
Children being loud in Tio Leo's, and falling off a 100 foot cliff.
I was at Tio Leo's the other day and this little rug rat wouldn't shut up. He was with his dad. Some goofy looking blonde guy who would occasionally say "Shhhh!" His kid jumped around in the booth. Yelled and …
Soldiers at School
Children being surprised by their father at school, when they were in Iraq.
This is going to sound like something stupid to complain about, but what the hell. I was going thru the channels today and one of those shows like Inside Edition, was showing military fathers that were surprising their kids. They'd …
Stairway Railing to Heaven
A weekend of sports activities.
A lot of fun sporting events over the weekend. I never watch any kind of auto racing. But, I happened to be home in the middle of that Indy 500. And, I was rooting against Danica Patrick. When she first …
Garage Sales (or Sidewalk Sales)
My mom leaves stuff on her sidewalk for people to take.
I saw something on Headline News about people having garage sales. One guy was talking about how much it gets him talking with the neighbors. I just thought...how weird it must be for the neighbors to see all your crap. …
Idiots from I-15 to 7-11
Dealing with people that don't have a clue.
The amount of people you see in one day that have no clue, is astounding. It started at LA Fitness. Unless I'm there at 5 to 6 p.m., I can't find any racquetball games. It was early in the day, …
The Taxman Strikes
Their explanation on why I won't be getting my $600.
The IRS. What a bunch of idiots. I get a letter from them saying that I owe another $983 in taxes. With a few bucks interest. Okay, scratch that. My tax lady, she's an idiot. I sent them the check …
Grizzly Bear Attacks and Adventures
When a bear attacks, do you yell and try to look aggressive to scare it off? Or do you play dead? The jury is still out.
I heard a reporter on CNN say that you should take kids away from the screen. That immediately got me looking. A man had survived an attack by a grizzly bear by playing dead. The problem was, it didn't stop …
Basketball Bone Breaking and Betting
Charles Barkley's gambling.
I was going to blog about a basketball injury today. I've currently been playing with a bunch of guys that don't know what they're doing. This little Jewish kid, that looks like that bartender from Sex and the City but …
The Olympic Dream Team -- Lawyers
Should sports change their rules for athletes with a disability?
I heard a story on Headline News today about an autistic boy that isn't allowed with his mom in church anymore. I then turn the TV on in my office and see on the scroll down below, that it says …
Reality Bites
A few more celebrities announce reality shows.
I heard Lindsay Lohan's mom is going to get a reality show soon. What I can't figure out is...she's the mother of someone famous. Does anyone really care? Probably. Those reality shows are all popular. And I have to admit, …
Gay Marriage
California overturns the law banning same sex marriage.
I have an older friend. She's in her 60s. And she's surprisingly hip. One example is the other day when I walked in and there were a handful of people. She said to me, "Hey Josh, you can get married …
Playboy Magazine
Famous people appearing in Playboy, and the Miley Cyrus controversy.
For some reason, Playboy magazine has come up with me and my friends a lot lately. It hasn't come up this much with me since the time I was 13, and my friend Patrick and I plotted in great detail …
Mile High Frustrations
A few airline stories.
I heard the story about Jetblue making someone stay in the bathroom during a flight. The guy is suing. I'm not sure I buy the entire story. Apparently, this guy got a free flight from a friend or family member …
The Prom Police
A few prom stories in the news.
Every year there are a few prom stories that pop-up. It's usually a couple of guys that want to go the prom together. The school wigs out. The ACLU gets involved, saying gay couples should be allowed the same rights. …
