The Super Bowl is the most watched event in the United States. Of the top 20 most watched television events of all time in the US, the Super Bowl holds 19 of the top 20 slots (with only the final episode of MASH breaking its monopoly) In the United States there are not many […]
I am against most manufactured holidays. By manufactured I am talking about ones that were created for the sole intent to promote the sales of cards, candy and generally just bolstering retail conditions. Now before you call me Unsentimental, uncaring, un-romantic and generally un-American, I accept that the easily influenced generally deserve what they get. […]
The world is full of some really bitter people. Twitter is not the world but it gives a representative sampling of just how unhappy so many people really are. By my conservative alternative facts, 90% percent of the people on Twitter fall into the mad/sad/bitter category. 1% of Twitter is news. 5% of the […]

Technically the only two championships occurred in my lifetime, but I was too young and not sure if I had even knew […]
I just spoke to someone who is really going through it right now… and for a moment the man who is fairly good at stringing words together was speechless. I write from the top of the dome. Sometimes scathing socio-political commentary at the hypocrisy and injustices that permeate our society. Sometime I attempt humor, because […]
I’m officially done with so called hookups from family, friends and acquaintances aka the “homeboy hookups”. All of these so called hookups always end up costing me more in the end, both financially and with time and favors owed, and I rarely get the quality of the product or services that I need whenever I […]
