Inherently Different

art school confidential

You know what crushes my nuts in the vice of life? Elitists. Doesn’t matter what kind or what discipline… anyone who knocks anything (and here I am knocking something so the irony is not lost on me) that they feel is beneath them down is an elitist. I began my unrequited hate of elitists around the time I entered college… in case you didn’t know, I attended an art college.

oops she did it again

Say what you will about Britney Spears music, but her taste in men has always been suspect. Justin Timberlake is a momma’s boy, but at least it appears as though he bathes regularly, unlike her current, but soon-to-be ex, Kevin Federline who often looks like he takes showers in Vincent Gallo‘s sweat. The fact that … Read more

boulevard of broken dreams

There is a great article in the April 7 issue of Rolling Stone, The End of Oil, which I strongly suggest should be read by anyone who owns/drives a car. I get into a number of discussions with treehuggers every now and again about the fact that there is no such thing as a free … Read more

one tin soldier

I’m usually not a link whore and I rate the French just below fungal communities when it comes to recognizing talent (see Jerry Lewis), but this is vindication of a sort for my love of all things Bruce Willis.

mothers of the disappeared

Jen Cookie asked me what I thought of Brittany Murphy who is currently in Sin City. Rather than leave my response in the comments, I thought I’d share it with the masses (all five of my regular readers). Let me preface the following comments by saying that I like Brittany Murphy on the whole, but … Read more

ripe with decay

I often wonder why people succumb so easily to the drive to preserve life. Even in cases when the life isn’t their own to save. By now just about everyone not in a coma has read or heard about the fight being waged by Terri Schiavo’s parents to keep what is left of their daughter … Read more

The One About Rap Music & Violence

I don’t usually comment on blogs I find on blogexplosion, but I couldn’t help myself. I posted this on a blog I found. I’m not a fan of rap music… I think most of it is crap from a musical perspective. As social commentary, it doesn’t do much either… but then again, neither does country. … Read more

The One About Dumb Questions

Someone once said, “there no dumb questions!” That is about as inaccurate a statement as can be made. Of course there are dumb questions and even dumber times to ask those dumb questions. For instance, as much as this is a tragedy, it was also avoidable. There isn’t anything a human being can possess that … Read more

The One About What I Was Thinking

Lest you get the impression that I’ve gotten all soft on you, the last post was just something I started writing and, after a few minutes wondering if I should or shouldn’t, posted. I struggle often with what should and shouldn’t see the light of day lest I get more hate mail than I usually … Read more

The One About Barry “Balco” Bonds

Maybe I’m still in the minority; I know I was while I lived in San Francisco. The fact that Bonds finally admitted that he uses performance enhancing steroids is not surprising. If you look at Bonds physique in his first three years in major league baseball and look at his last three, he has bulked … Read more
