Going into my 10th month of unemployment, I’ve been reduced to looking myself in the mirror and saying…”Holiday seasonal work, can you please arrive sooner?” Yes, the thought of explaining how a Blu-Ray disc works to your Grandparents at Best Buy seems like a Godsend at this point. I’ll admit, when I was first laid … Continue reading
Well, I finally caught ‘Paranormal Activity’ this weekend. I actually tried to catch the movie a few weeks ago during its original small midnight release run in Santa Cruz, but it was sold out by the time we got to the theater. The reason we arrived at the theater late is a fascinating story … Continue reading
It’s funny when you think about the way love is portrayed in film. You rarely ever see an honest display of how love can unfold. Sure, we’ve all had butterflies in our stomach, went through puppy love, and generally just made a jackass of ourselves in the name of “love”, but what about when the … Continue reading
What is it about mediocre food that is so comforting after a late night of drinking, debauchery, and “I swear I’m cool, I’ve been drinking water for 20 minutes” driving? Maybe it’s just that our standards are lowered at this stage, and similar to ‘beer goggles’ (or as I like to call it “non-selective vision … Continue reading
Their is nothing more delightful than coming to work on a Wednesday or Friday with a slight hangover. Drinking during the week was previously shunned as ‘drunk’ or ‘lush’ behavior, but since we have regressed to a hedonistic society over the past decade or so…keep the 2 for 1 specials flowing! A hangover at work allows the … Continue reading
Netflix. Blockbuster online. Mail order brides. All offer products on demand, in-home convenience, and recurring monthly charges. What’s not to like? It’s great to browse titles online and have them show up in the mailbox a day later, but are we forgetting the joys of the video store? I’m not talking about the generic and … Continue reading
I clearly remember feeling like I was on the cutting edge of technology with a pager in high school. This of course was after convincing my parents I wasn’t a drug dealer. I was simply an innocent kid who wanted to keep in touch with friends, and only page local drug dealers. That’s neither here … Continue reading
I would like to take a moment to talk about a serious issue that is very near and dear to my heart. It’s a topic that has been debated by the masses for years. Scholars have discussed both sides of the issue in more detail than I could ever fathom, yet their still is no … Continue reading
In my younger days (3 months ago), I used to enjoy the company of friends, alcohol, and a matinee ticket. We branded this type of outing, ‘E&J & the Movies’. Clearly, we were working with limited funds. E&J is one of those alcohols you discover in high school. It has a relatively low cost, but high potential … Continue reading
For my first post, I wanted to keep it nice and simple. Kind of like a McDonald’s meal. Quick, cheap, and somewhat edible…exiting is a different story. Here’s my super-sized (I mean ‘GO LARGE’) version of a post. Babies. Small. Mushy. Smelly. Occasionally cute. We have many places to enjoy babies. Your own house if … Continue reading
