3/4 - “Wouldn’t it be awesome if…”

Technology continues to advance at rapid rates, and it seems almost as if the majority of people I know have some sort of GPS setup in their cars.
I don’t know much about this stuff, but I do know that GPS tells you where to go, and some systems I believe even alert you of where [...]

2/8 - “Oooooh, you law breaker”

Pretty frequently I’ll notice people in the cars next to me talking on their cell phone —- but not with a hands-free headset!
Criminals.  In the state of California, this is illegal.   Often, I’ll smirk at these other drivers, gesturing with my thumb and pinky in a phone call-ish motion.
It’s a bit of a risky move [...]

2/1 - “You have to earn those upper-case letters”

It doesn’t even matter if it’s a girl, a new friend, or a potential business relationship, at first, EVERYONE gets entered into my phone in lower case letters.  I mean, I have this philosophy partially because of my mistrust of people, but also because it’s quicker/easier just to enter all lower case letters when [...]

1/24 - ” Missed call”

Sad to say that earlier today the Jets season came to an end vs. the Indianapolis Colts.  It was an unbelievable run though for the Jets, and I’m quite proud of my team.
Anyway, I watch the games at Q’s Billiards over in West L.A. —- which is my Jets bar.   For about 3 hours, I [...]

1/10 - “Text or call?”

It’s an internal debate we all have with ourselves on somewhat of a regular basis.
We ask ourselves, “Does what I want to communicate work better on the phone or via text?”
There’s only so much I can explain via text (frantic thumb-typing) without eventually thinking to myself, “What am I doing right now?  Wtf is wrong [...]

1/2 - “Phone number switcher backers”

You ever have a friend who gives you their cell phone number then changes their number down the line?  It happens.
A friend gives you his/her number, and you enter into your phone.   Then they change their number.   So you put the new number in your phone, then delete the old one (or sometimes leave it [...]

12/27 - “Remember Winamp?”

Those were the days.  And by days, I mean the time period at the beginning of this concluding decade.   Back in the day Winamp is what we used to play mp3’s on our computers.  Today, I assume most people use iTunes.
While it’s easy to poke fun at defunct software and technology, I do remember one [...]

12/6 - “That should be your status”

It’s a phrase I use while engaging in regular human conversations.   If a person I’m talking to says something that makes me laugh, often I’ll suggest that they make it their Facebook status.
…especially when what makes me laugh is something that they would not normally want to share with the world.

11/14 - “I hate the insert key”

You know the key I’m referring to on your keyboard.  On my keyboard the insert key is located above my delete key and to the right of the backspace key.
What is the point of the insert key?  I’ve never once found a use for it, and all it does is cause damage.
I’ll be typing along….I’m [...]

11/5 - “Shit, I’m turning into my dad”

Admittedly, I’m not very much into video games.  As I’ve talked about before, I really never got much further than regular 8-bit Nintendo and Sega Genesis.  Nowadays, I feel like all of these controllers have so many buttons, and the games have become way more complex.
In the past you could sit down and play [...]
