Today is Memorial Day here in the states.  It is a day where the men and women who have served are remembered for their actions.  I think it is important that no matter what your opinion on the current administration or the current war in the middle east is, you should ember that there is [...]

May 26th, 2006 · No Comments

CNN reports that gunfire has just erupted in a building attached to the capital in Washington DC.

Everclear: The Return

May 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment

My favorite band has been Everclear. A year or few ago Everclear split up which was a dissapointment to say the least. I had practically given up a new Everclear CD, resolving to listen to my favorites such as Heartspark $, White Men in Black Suits and Santa Monica. Two days [...]

May 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment

I found this article on Deadspin.com, WCKY out of Cleveland Ohio did an investigative report on pornography at the local library. The results are frightening in a sense if you are a parent but otherwise hilarious. What boggles my mind is that Mike who was caught pleasuring himself in the public library had [...]

Rockstar Table Tennis: First Impressions

May 23rd, 2006 · 2 Comments

Do not Litter!

May 21st, 2006 · No Comments

This weekend while filling up a Penske rental truck I noticed the trash can at the gas station had a notice on it not to litter. Of all the places to tell me not to litter the top of a trash can is the worst.  Thanks for listening more tommorow!

Next Gen College Recruiting

May 17th, 2006 · No Comments

With the announcement of Microsoft’s acquisition of Massive last week I started to wonder when colleges will jump into a market that features a large percentage of their target market. It is getting harder and harder to reach young consumers and this would be a unique way to get their attention. The time to start [...]
