Let’s Start This Off With a Video…

…then I’ll tell you a story about my week.

It was the best of weeks, and it was the worst of weeks.
Sunday: My week started with the end of the football season, as noted here. That was a great game and a great night.  I met a friend during the game that [...]

A Couple New Vids for Shits and Giggles and Deep Morning Thoughts

And of course….

I like the soundtrack on the second one much better.

The Best (and Worst) Superbowl Ever

So I went to my favorite pub/sports pub to do some liveblogging for the Superbowl.
As football is about as close as I come to organized religion, the Superbowl is a big day for me.  A Super Party, if you well.   I had picked my location in the bar early and spent most of the day [...]

Music and the Economic Collapse of the U.S.

This is a pretty good example of what my book is like…my intellectual ramblings divided by popular culture references. The book is also my philosophy “dissertation”. However, unlike most phi-disses, this one was created to be understood by another with the capacity to appreciate simple culture, and not necessarily someone who [...]

I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book

I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.”
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work.
Joel, you first. 

The 1st Book Is Going to Be 50,000 Words Long

I like the number 50.
A comment on Facebook is 1000 characters long, so I’ve been training my ability to be efficient.
So, 50 comments is about a book, right? [UPDATE:  C'mon, I need somebody to check my math.  My book isn't going to be 50,000 characters long (it went past that in the first week) [...]

Dumbest Challenge Ever? (Cowboys / Niners)

 Watching the Cowboys game this afternoon and wondering how much longer Wade Phillips is going to have a job.  Not that he’s done anything too stupid, oh wait, he just made the dumbest challenge to an on-field call that I think I’ve ever seen.
[snip]
Luckily, Romo to T.O. still works great.  Man, I love watching that [...]

Duh-du-duuuuu-duh. Hey, You Suck (Cowboys v. Redskins II)

Staying at home tonight and watching the Cowboys game.  I did a bit about the previous meeting between the two rivals before, you can catch up on that here.
So I’m watching the game and listening to Madden and Michaels do their thing like they do (and have been doing forever), and I heard the crowd [...]

Fire Brad Johnson

I’m watching football (it’s Sunday, it’s Fall…this is natural) and I’m watching my Cowboys, and I’m watching Roy Williams (whom I like as much as the other Roy Williams for much the same reasons…their first names their bad-assedness) make a one-handed catch for 30 yards down the field to ignite offense.
Then I watch Brad Johnson [...]

Coulda Had A Whole Poetry Thing Going For You (Ravens/Pittsburgh…and football update)

Watching MNF again….trying to…Tony Kornheiser keeps talking…and it hurts.
That title is a quote of his, BTW. [previous observations concerning the football commentating skils of one Anthony Irwin "Tony" Kornheiser]
Let’s see what other brain-piercing pieces of wisdom he has for us….(yes…this is blogging as therapy).
While we’re at it, and for the therapy part, I just want [...]

How Do I Turn Off Tony Kornheiser?

Tony Kornheiser was a passable general sportcaster and I guess a decent columnist at some point in his career.
I never read his crap so I can’t say for sure.  After having to listen to him on Monday Night Football for a couple years, now I just want to punch him in the balls.  Repeatedly.  Until [...]
