I was talking to a friend over the weekend, who told me a story of one of his high school friends, and how that person was convicted of DUI/DWI.
This dude ended up in prison, and my buddy passed along some interesting anecdotes about life in prison.  Many of this is obvious, or common knowledge, but [...]

I’m sure you’ve seen this at sporting events.   The stadium cameras scan the crowd looking for romantic couples.  Once the camera zeros in on a couple, it is expected that they smooch for all of the crowd to see on the jumbotron.
Well, I think it’s about time that stadiums start showing homosexual and lesbian couples [...]

Yesterday at the Indians game, a fan actually entered the ballpark in Cleveland wearing a LeBron James Miami Heat jersey.  With Cavs fans and the city still reeling after LeBron’s heartbreaking and disappointing exit from town, perhaps this wasn’t the best decision to wear a Heat jersey at a Cleveland sports venue.  Indians fans chanted [...]

First off, while my buddy Bozzzy inspired the following thoughts, this isn’t a direct criticism aimed at him. (He’s a staunch atheist, but also has some superstitions when it comes to numbers)

I’m sure you’ve seen this shit around.   Guys wearing their baseball caps, that STILL have the tags and/or stickers on them.
What the hell is this all about?  I understand how guys wear their baseball caps can be quite trendy, and styles change.
There was a time when people would bend the brim of the cap more, [...]

“Music saved my life.”  I’m sure you’ve heard people use that phrase, or something like it from time to time.
If you were poor, grew up in poverty, and had to endure all sorts of hardship — if you were beaten, abused, and constantly living in fear for your life  —- THEN became a wildly successful [...]

Ralph’s Supermarket seems to get a lot of mention in my blog, and although I don’t hate the store, it’s not my favorite food store either.
(See posts about Fresh & Easy)
