I’ve made no bones about basically despising psychics and horoscopes, but that doesn’t mean I too can’t appreciate a meaningless coincidence once in a while. I attended a BBQ this past July 4th, and here’s one of the host’s shopping receipts from earlier in the day….

Oooooooooh. Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Quick July 4th holiday edition! There are some things that translate well to television, and there are other things that just don’t. For example, I’d be willing to bet that the majority of people would say that watching football on television is more enjoyable than watching it live. — unless you have spectacular seats or [...]

After originally sending out an Evite for a BBQ that was supposed take place today, I cancelled that event after projecting it to likely rain, and definitely be cold. This Evitation was for a Sunday BBQ, but I also mentioned that there would be a get together at a local bar on that Friday 2 [...]

Big deal. You probably are only 5 days into your resolutions. Good luck keeping the weight off for the next 360 days. Me? Well I made all my resolutions on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. That’s right, I’m ahead of the game by about 3 months.
Just kidding, I never make any New Year’s [...]

Why does Santa Claus (besides at the Beverly Center) have to be fat? A skinny person can’t be jolly? Such stereotyping is despicable.
Even worse, nobody seems to be at all concerned about Santa’s health. I understand that he’s an older guy, and his metabolism probably isn’t what it used to be, but the man could [...]
Over at the Beverly Center (a mall on La Cienega in LA), there’s a Santa Claus and elves hanging out — supposedly bringing cheer to all during this holiday season. However, this might not be your typical mall setup.
I haven’t been over there yet, but according to my sister who was, there is a shirtless, young, [...]

Over the weekend I attended a Halloween party that consisted of a good amount of Mexican-Americans.
Wikipedia says - ” Cholo is used for a person of Mexican background who wishes to present a tough, sometimes even gangster-like image.” I could see how the word Cholo could possibly be similar to the word nigger. Not exactly, but [...]

During “Halloween season,” I’m always curious as I observe what are the popular costumes for that particular year. In past years, Borat was a big one, whereas this year, I think remember coming across several Sarah Palin look-a-likes.
However, I don’t recall seeing that many Barack Obama costumes, if any at all. One Obama simply had [...]

With Halloween not all that far away, I figured why not share some thoughts about candy. Anytime there is bag of mini-Hershey’s chocolates nearby, the same eating pattern always becomes evident.
A bag typically consists Hershey’s milk chocolate, dark chocolate, mr. Goodbar, and Krackel. 99% of the time, all the “Krackels” will be gone first, usually [...]

My friend has to come up with the title of a party for an upcoming evite, so this got me wondering. If there is some sort of party being planned that is going to be gay themed, and mostly everyone at the party will be gay, it could be, but likely won’t be called “Gay [...]
