So, i started writing a fiction novel. It's always been a dream of mine and I finally came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to write itself.*  One day a few weeks back I opened up Microsoft Word and started a new document.  That document sat there for a couple weeks, totally blank but it was a notice to myself to start typing.  Any time I logged off of my computer or restarted it, the

 I recently jacked up the music on my iPhone.  Long story short, I jailbroke my iPhone so I could just drag and drop music to it from various computers without using iTunes, which I despise.  All was going good until I accidentally sync'd it with iTunes and it blew out all of my illegally obtained music. I've been trying to repopulate my iPhone with a usable music cache but I have just become

Long story short, I find my self looking at the book "What Women Want Men to Know" by Barbara De Angelis on Amazon.  (I think this is the book that was made into that Mel Gibson/Helen Hunt movie...) Anyway, I think to myself, I wonder what the reviews are like for this book, more specifically I wonder "Who didn't like this book and why?".  I don't mean to stereotype here but I would gander the

I see some weird shtuff walking around town, this morning while walking to work I saw a big pile of salad on the sidewalk.  There were a couple bags laying around it and in the middle of the bags was this mound of salad, lettuce with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, onions and crutons.  Besides that there were 3 or 4 forks stuck in it... was some group of people dinning on this salad on the sidewalk

Remember the show St. Elsewhere?  It was a tv show about a hospital in Boston that ran from October 1982 to May 1988.  The show was chock full of 80's tv stars... I believe I see Flounder, Deal or No Deal Howie, Mr. Shoop, Denzel Washington, Ed Bagley Jr., Dick Cheney and the lead singer from El DeBarge... so like I said chock full of 80s TV star power.   Speaking of El DeBarge...  Who's Johnny?

Ever heard of the "BLOOP"? The Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) several times during the summer of 1997. The source of the sound remains unknown. According to the NOAA description, it "rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient

I read the eBook "Eat, Stop, Eat" this weekend by Brad Pilon (http://bradpilon.com/).  It deals with the topic of Intermittent Fasting (IF) which is defined as "a pattern of eating in which one alternates between periods of fasting (typically consuming only water) and non-fasting."  There appears to be evidence for many benefits to including some fasting in your weekly routine, such as: -

Envy, in my opinion is about as bad as it gets, it's lazy and ugly.  I am not perfect nor am I immune to it.  When I think about it (I can't even muster the strength to call "it" envy out of disgust), the only name that comes to mind is Julian Schnabel.  I do not like him. I do not like him because of what he does, what he has and the d-bagery style with which he does it and has it.

As a young'in we'd go to Disney World every summer, as you already know from my blog about South of the Border... Seven days prior to our departure, I would begin watching the TV edited version* of National Lampoon's Vacation I'd recorded, everyday until we left.  It really got me pumped for the 2 day car ride.  In all, I've probably watched that movie five thousand times.

Did you know that prior to the arrival of European explorers to the Pacific coast of North America, 28 foot Manatees (also called Stellar Sea Cows), swam abundantly?  They were then hunted to extinction in less than 50 years. 18th Century European diving equipment was ahead of it's time. An early explorer noted in his travel log that the beasts "tasted delicious". ---------------------

Getting older is a funny thing.   It blows in some aspects but it's possible to find the humor in that as well.   I view myself as being externally eternally 22 years old, I don't think that's a huge problem either.  Sure, I may have recently given up the fantasy that I could be a walk-on NHL player for the Philadelphia Flyers.  I mean I wasn't thinking top line 50 goal scorer, maybe a 3rd line

"You don't pay a prostitute for sex, you pay them to leave." - Charlie Sheen I'd like to start by saying I never understood why prostitution is illegal.  A woman owns her body, she should be able to do with it what she wants.  Pro-choice proponents use this concept to argue for baby murder, what can't it work in favor of a little in-out, in-out for cash?  Isn't it as simple as a service

I used to smoke and drink on a very frequent basis.  I won't lie, there were definitely times it was a blast but also times that it sucked and were painful.  Eventually I wised up and stopped both and have since reaped the innumerable benefits. I don't even consider the thought of a cigarette anymore, or I should say I don't even imagine myself in some optimum cigarette smoking situation.  I
