Good luck with all that

As a former wrestler, and an all-conference one at that (gots to throw that part in of course), I approach this story with a high level of carefulness. As is being widely reported (more then likely do to the distasteful nature of the story) high school wrestling in Minnesota has been shut down until February [...]

Slow Office day

Nothing really new to report/write/comment/show so why not resort to that old standby: posting a clip from the Office. This is one of my favorites. Ah diversity.

Why searching for a job blows

Before landing my current job (or, more accurately my current two jobs) I was like hundreds of other suckers trying to get a job in D.C. I'd find postings on various websites (everyone knows the ones) and send out my resume/cover letter in a hopeless attempt to get hired. This process worked in getting me [...]

Hot dogs in Adams Morgan = 10 extra pounds

I've long been an aficionado of Jumbo Slice in Adams Morgan. Why, just this past weekend I enjoyed a delicious slice as I stumbled my way home Friday night at 3 in the morning. There's other late night food alternatives in AM but Jumbo Slice has always been near and dear to my heart (mostly [...]

After borrowing her idea I would be remiss if I didn't then, in turn, link to Jill at Feminste's Friday Random Ten.

You can bet on anything

Did you know you can bet on how long Billy Joel will take to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl? I'm not sure exactly why I didn't know that but I didn't. Apparently Bodog.com has the over/under at 1 minute 44 seconds, which is fairly long. Deadspin spins (ha) this as a Billy [...]

In the ring

At some point I'm planning on going into depth about my ongoing boxing experience but as I feel under the weather today I'll post this video which does a pretty good job summarizing what boxing has been like for me.

Only Gilbert Arenas is cool enough to pull off a non-weird mugshot (from last summer's arrest in Miami). I'd give anything to get my high school mugshot.

The takeover continues

I would be remiss if I didn't note the fact that my boy Gilbert was made an All-Star starter by the fans. He's more then deserving (especially considering he was competing against that tool Vince Carter) and I can only imagine what kind of show he'll put on in Vegas. From Ivan Carter's write-up of [...]

Tell me how you really feel

I don't have the stomach to even attempt to talk about Dinesh D’Souza's latest book (just thinking about it makes me gag) but needless to say (then why am I saying it?) its trash on a level with Ann Coulter and the rest of that ilk. Just because I don't want to review it doesn't [...]
