There are oh so many reasons why I should being tearing my hair out as a Wizards fan, but I’m not. Why? Because I’ve never been so invested in this team as to have really been happy had they one an NBA title.
Gilbert Arenas and his recent brilliant stroke of lunacy has had me more [...]

Delusion is all part of being a fan
October 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Another Reason to Love New Orleans
August 29th, 2009 · No Comments
I was standing on the balcony of my new apartment and caught a glimpse of this in the empty lot across the street. Looks like Banksy to me but I think I’m the first post a picture online. It’s by this stencil artist named Priest, not to be confused with Banksy. Regardless, it’s awesome and [...]

Why I’ll never see Transformers 2
July 6th, 2009 · 2 Comments
As much as it hurts me to write, I know people, many of whom I call friends, that voluntarily paid money to see Transformers 2. I have not.

The internet can quickly kill what was probably just an OK joke.

Watching the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on Hulu, I saw an ad for Goodwill Industries of America. It showed a pink flamingo; pink, fuzzy dice; a pair of legs wearing pink heels and pink-and-black striped socks. The tag-line at the end prompts viewers to “Free your stuff” and donate. I couldn’t find a clip [...]
