How much does music play into our lives? Isn't there certain songs that bring back memories? While channel surfing on the radio, on the way home from running errands, I hear the Chris Isaak song "Wicked Games". I have always referred to it as the "I Don't Want To Fall in Love" song. And you know how songs can bring back memories. It brought back this memory. It was late July of 2004. It was a typical Midwestern summer day, which meant it was 90 degrees and humid as hell, which meant I was ...
I bet it happens quite often. Much more than we realize. Here's my latest 'misheard' story. The other day my brother and my mother were discussing movies. My mother had just bought the movie "Crash", and was asking my brother if he seen it. She said she liked it, which if you knew my mother, would be somewhat of a shock. My mother's movie taste is more like a guy's. She loves action on top of action. Her philosophy is: Less talk more action. If somebody hasn't fought, been shot at, been ch...

This article is inspired by my 2 youngest brothers. Anyone who has siblings, especially younger siblings, has been asked to mediate a disagreement or resolve a dispute between them. Normally, when my brothers in question are going at it, their verbal battles are over important matters. For example, their last fight before this one, was over what movie character would you rather be - a Terminator or a vampire - more specifically, T-1000 from "Terminator 2" or Lestat from "Interview From Th...
Recently, when I first moved here, I got my phone service through my cable company. It was digital and cheap. Well, cheaper than I used to pay. But to tell you the truth, I didn't care what phone I got, I just wanted what I grown to love -my sweet sweet cable. It turns out I should've paid attention to the phone service. I was supposed to have unlimited local and long distance, but sadly that varies day to day. I could call Mexico all I wanted but couldn't call Ohio. Plus if I tried gettin...

Are there any better western movies than the ones made in the 60s? Talking about westerns on another article got me wondering about the greatest westerns ever. Well, there are too many to list. Way too many. So I decided to list which decade had the greatest ones. To me, the sixties did. Here is my list. It was too hard to put them in order by which one I like the best, so I listed them by year. If there's any other westerns I forgot from the 60s, that belong in my top ten, then feel...

The other day one of my younger brothers told me he bought a new DVD, the movie "The Goonies" for his 2 daughters. I, of course, laughed telling him he bought the movie more for himself than for my nieces. See, years ago, when my brother first saw "The Goonies" it was a big deal for him. I remember him coming home from the ciniplex with my parents all excited, telling anyone who listened how good it was. I still can see him doing the truffle shuffle. It got me thinking about the first m...
Being a huge sports fan I listen to sports talk radio, watch sports discussion shows and I'm an avid reader of my local newspaper's sport section and the USA Today's. I used to enjoy doing all three but lately I been finding it real boring. The reason is the subject matter. I'll give you a few examples. On a HBO interview, Randy Moss, the most talented wide receiver in the NFL, said he occasionally smoked marijuana and if any kid was watching not to think it was okay just cause he did it. ...
Okay this is officially my first blog. I don't really know if it belongs in the 'humor' section but at least I thought it was funny. If it should be in another section, sorry about that. Yesterday I went and got my haircut. I needed a haircut desperately too, considering I looked like a combination of Cousin Itt and Don King. I went to the place where I got my haircut last. Not because I recently moved here so I don't know of any other place. But because after my last haircut the woman wh...

I decided to finally write my first blog. I have been hesitant to write one because I wanted my first one to be of some significance. But if you really think about it just making it through a day here is significant. I recently moved, and not a crosstown move but a cross country move. I have traveled a lot and one thing I always noticed was that no matter what ethnicity or religion or financial class people are - most people are the same. It's not like I'm a bigot or anything. But just l...
