The One About Characters
Another day, another list… While watching To Kill A Mockingbird with the Red Queen tonight, I began thinking about the character names I believe are the BEST in all of literature. Here they are: 5. Boo Radley & Atticus Finch: To Kill A Mockingbird is a great book, a fine film and possesses many great […]
The One About Being Mean
I am not a mean person. I know this and have known this for as long as I can remember. I am aware that many people, my friends for instance, have heard the tales, whispered in hushed tones, about the things I’ve done and said to people and they tell me that I am mean. […]
The One About Thanks Without Giving
The bird is almost done, the sides are ready and waiting, and the phonecalls back home are done. Now all that is left is to list the things I’m thankful for: The Red Queen for letting me be me and not trying to turn me into something I don’t want to be. My friends here […]
The One About Crap
An alternative title might be: The One In Which I Call 3 Million Bloggers Crap. Sometime on July 6, 2004, Technorati tracked its 3 millionth weblog. According to other sources*, there are about 8,000-17,000 new weblogs created daily (avg: 15,000) which means that 1 blog is created every 5.8 seconds. These blogs unleash somewhere in […]
The One About Turkey Day
I’m not really a big fan of the whole holiday season thing. I don’t think I’ve ever really enjoyed Christmas or New Years… ever. Not even as a little kid. My favorite holidays are without question the Fourth of July and Halloween. Thanksgiving runs a close third, but the days after this holiday really chap […]
The One About Condoleeza Rice
This just in… According to sources at CNN, Secretary of State nominee Condoleeza Rice is being admitted into a hospital for a minor surgical procedure today… my sources reveal she is finally getting a heart.
The One About The Election
Okay, the dust has settled and now I can write a little bit about what I think of the election. Let me just say that ultimately, another four years of Bush couldn’t be any worse or better than four years of Kerry. I’m guessing that over the course of the next four years, many of […]
The One Where I Stopped Posting
This past weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers ended the New England Patriots consecutive win streak. The cliche that claims that all good things must end is obviously true… especially if you noticed that my consecutive post streak (two weeks and counting) came to an end this past weekend. To my faithful readers, I can only claim […]
The One About Crime & Punishment
I think that the US justice system is pretty flawed. In fact, it really shouldn’t be called the justice department at all, because let’s face facts… few people really get what they deserve. One of the things that bothers me most is the sheer cost of incarceration. If we take into account the total population […]
The One About Those Damn Yankees
I’m a sports fanatic. In fact, I’ve attended a few World Series games, two Superbowls, a Sugar Bowl, a fiesta bowl, a Stanley Cup Final, an Indoor Soccer Championship, an IHL championship, a AVP Tour Championship, and a Championship Boxing match. To counterbalance the collection of athletes and teams I root for, I have an […]
