The One About A Million Dollars
Let’s live for a moment in the world of fantasy and say I won a huge jackpot… $300 million or so. Know what I would do with the money left over after paying taxes, bills and whatnot? Glad you asked… here’s what I’d do. I’d go on a life mission to grant people’s wishes. I’m […]
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 Justice
Now that a jury of peers has found Scott Peterson guilty of murdering his wife and unborn child and agreed that the death penalty is warranted, the appeal process will prevent justice from being served for at least 10 years. If you ask me, being on death row for that long is more cruel and […]

The One About Awards
I write mainly for myself and while I enjoy the comments I receive and the links back to my site from other blogs, I don’t really mind if the world at large ever stumbles across my blog. Aside from having some relatively unpopular views on just about every topic imaginable, I’m also saddled with a […]
The One About Delusions of Grandeur
I just ended up on a blog written by a woman who considers herself a princess. I realized that I’ve landed on a number of blogs in the past year or so that claim to be written by self-entitled “princesses” (what’s the plural of a princess? princei?). I did a search… somewhere in the vicinity […]
The One About the 5 Worst Remakes of All-time
Another day, another list. Lazy? You’d be surprised how much work goes into one of these lists. Without further adieu: 5. Vanilla Sky Cameron Crowe’s nightmare comes true… he turns a good Spanish movie, Abre Los Ojos, into a mediocre American one. 4. Mighty Joe Young: Not even the beautiful and talented Charlize Theron can […]
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 Records
“I’ve never really bought into records,” Favre said last week. “Maybe when I was young, the opportunity to either break an idol’s records or a big-time player’s records had some meaning to it. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that the only reason they keep track of records is so someone else […]
