e! Flipping through the channels just now, I stumbled on the final poker hand scene from Rounders. I never miss an opportunity to watch that scene when it happens to be on TV. Could be because I like the movie, but it is probably due instead to the fact that I used to have a gambling … Read more
I hate that I can no longer download music free when I am unsure whether or not the band or album is worth the price. I used Limewire a lot back in the day before they went belly up. I would find a song or band and if I liked what I downloaded, I’d head … Read more

Protest? Sure… within reason and within a reasonable time frame.. but any protest longer than … Read more
I’m pretty confused… when the whole same sex marriage stuff was happening across the nation… so many devout (fanatical) christian talking heads were up in arms about preserving the sanctity of marriage… yet, Kim Kardashian, a buffalo-assed media whore, is married for 72 days, making the institution of marriage a punchline, and NOT ONE of … Read more
