Should I be friends with this guy? (alternative title: My gayest post ever)

The title is misleading but not really (this will be my gayest post to date). Alright so theres this guy I see everyday as I go to work. We cross paths (he's going the opposite direction I am) every morning at around 8:55 or so. Over the course of the two plus months I've been [...]

My almost “Missed Connection”

A "friend" of mine enjoys searching through the "Missed Connections" section of Craigslist while at work (there's great stuff there). Its one of the many amusing, carefree ways for me him to pass away the time pretending to work. Lo and behold this missed connection came up that might be for me. The time and [...]

Old woman and overweight beagle fight crime

My mom lives in one of the safest/richest suburbs in the country. Crime is really low, as in almost nonexistent, maybe an egging every once and a while.

That’s embarrassing

I like reading books. During my carefree days of unemployment I was reading, on average, four a week, generally non-fiction but every once and a while I'd spice things up with a novel.

South African parliment ok's gay marriage. As John says: "So we're now behind South Africa in terms of civil and human rights. Nice."

And so ‘08 begins: Feingold out, Rudy in

Now that the midterms are over everyone's turning their attention to the '08 Presidential campaign. The things two years away but people are already starting to jockey for position, if they haven't already been since 04 ended. Already we've had three major players make announcements. Senator Feingold is out, Senator McCain is thinking about it [...]

Britney Spears is cold as ice

Damn girl. Everyone knows by now that Britney has, finally, decided to give K-fed the boot but to tell him she was divorcing him by text message on the Blackberry? That's cold-blooded. And not only that but he got the text while taping an interview, and they've got the video of his reading the text. [...]

Prediction time

Word is tomorrow's kind of a big day. As such, I'll step up to the plate and make some predictions, though I should point out that my track record is quite poor. People who remember my first website attempt (RIP The Observer) will recall that on the eve of November 2nd, 2004, I was quite [...]
