Memorial Day

With summer officialy starting this weekend, let’s make sure we all take a minute on Memorial Day to honor the men and women of our Armed Services. This is still a great country with freedoms that are the envy of most of the world, despite what you might read in the paper. And the reason we have this unbelievable freedom is due to the sacrifice [...]

Trucks off wheels

I saw one of the most interesting things I’ve seen in a long time. I was taking my niece to the babysitter when I noticed a semi truck getting off the interstate near. This by itself is not very interesting, but what caught my eye was that the back of the trailer was leaning slightly [...]

Jesse James tries for Humanitarian Award?

Well, I’ve officially heard it all (not really, I’m sure there’s someone still out there waiting to say the next monumentally stupid thing). Jesse James, that moral pillar of the community, stated in his first TV interview since his second life was revealed, that he still loves Sandra and the kids. He talks about how he [...]

TV finales

I think you’ll have to count me in the minority when it comes to the television show Lost. I didn’t have access to TV when it debuted, I was a struggling fresh out of college student trying to survive on only the things I needed. And since I didn’t start, I decided not to finish. [...]

Macgruber – SNL style action

I’m not a fan of the current Saturday Night Live, and I haven’t been a fan for a while. The last time I watched an original airing of SNL was when Dana Carvey and Mike Myers were still doing the Wayne’s World sketch. Since then, I have had to wait for something that would require [...]

The hottest doctor on Grey’s Anatomy

Well, this season of Grey’s Anatomy may be over, but let’s take a second to ponder a slightly philosophical question. Which female doctor is the hottest? My vote goes to Ellen Pompeo. With those soft, green eyes and flowing hair, I look at her wearing one of those lab coats and wonder if there are real [...]

Give in to the Defense, Luke

Someone decided to have a Darth Vader helmet decorating expo, asking for people to redesign the iconic helmet. There was one who made the look even more menacing with a “Pinhead” inspired design. But, since I come from Illinois and consider Chicago to be my playground, I have to nominate this one as my favorite. [...]

A new hobby?

No, I’m not planning on going into any Star Wars related post, but I am starting to find myself more and more intrigued by airplanes. My dad was an air traffic controller during the 80s and 90s. He didn’t fly the planes, he directed them like a traffic cop, telling planes which direction to take, [...]

YouTube is 5 years old!

Next to Facebook, YouTube is one of those daily desitnations for me and friends. Everyone knows about YouTube, but what makes it really something is that YouTube is officially 5 years old today. Thinking about that make me step back a little. Before 2005, if you wanted to watch a video online, you more than [...]

If you sell it, it might disappear

The iconic baseball field that was the setting for the film Field of Dreams is for sale. The owners have preserved the field outside of Dyersville Iowa, since the movie finished production in the early 90s. Close to retirement, the couple are looking to sell the land for just over $5 million. The price includes [...]
