New TBL Design Coming

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I’ve been spending the last two weeks or so designing a new layout for TBL. First of all, I bought TBLWrestling.com to start forwarding to TheBalrogsLair.com. After all of these years, I finally agree that TheBalrogsLair.com is too hard of a name to remember. And since the site is mainly a wrestling […]

Good for Warren Buffett!

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

What I like best about Warren Buffett’s huge cash giveaway is that it is sets an example for the rest of America’s (and the world’s) fat cats. Granted, he is giving the bulk of his money away to the Gates Foundation - oddly enough the organization that, before this donation, had the largest amount […]

Movie Review: Click

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Adam Sandler’s got a new movie out called “Click.” A few of the guys and I went to go see it the other day and I thought it was a good movie - it took some weird twists and turns, but it was a good flick.
The best way to describe it is to think […]

Web Designing for UWS and More

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

I’ve been spending a lot of time designing websites for my small business, Usable Web Solutions. There’s nothing really new to report on any other front…still working part-time for the Trenton firm, still pushing for the full-time spot, etc.
I have a meeting on Wednesday with the group that is looking to hire me full-time […]

Stay Away from NJHESAA!

Monday, June 19th, 2006

For all of you high school seniors in New Jersey and current undergraduate students - this one is for you.
When looking to find a way to finance your education, stay AWAY from the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority! They are, by far, the most rotten folks that I’ve come across in my […]

Movie Review: Nacho Libre

Friday, June 16th, 2006

Nacho Libre absolutely sucked! That might have been the worst “movie” that I’ve ever seen. There was no story, there was no point to making the movie. And it was short. WAY too short to spend $9 on going to see.
Those assholes claim that the thing is an hour and forty […]

The Poster Child For Student Loan Debt

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

Well, since my big, national debut on Monday in USA Today, I’ve been called a bunch of things. The funniest (and probably truest) was when I was given the title, “The Poster Child for Student Loan Debt.”
Ha ha ha!!!
Oh man. Ain’t it the truth? A lot of people are just amazed that […]

As Seen in USA Today…

Monday, June 12th, 2006

I’m a national superstar now:
In Debt Before You Start
Go me.

Movie Review: Cars

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

I really enjoyed Disney/Pixar’s latest offering. Cars is, of course, marketed as a kid’s movie and when one of my roommates and I went to go see it, the place was overrun with rugrats. This was actually not that bad as he and I could have a full-blown conversation in the middle of […]

What’s the Big Fucking Secret?

Friday, June 9th, 2006

I dare any of you to go to http://www.usps.gov (the website of the United States Postal Service) and tell me how much it costs to send a bulk mailing at a nonprofit rate.
Go ahead…I’ll wait…

HA! Nothing! You can’t find a shitting thing on that website! What the fuck is the big secret […]

Alright, Enough with this BS Rape Claim

Friday, June 9th, 2006

In case you haven’t heard, the second dancer in the Duke lacrosse rape case has claimed that the first dancer (the one who said she was raped) is full of it.
The only DNA evidence found was from the stripper’s boyfriend.
The girl had no physical trauma.
The woman admitted to using a sex toy on herself before […]

Movie Review: Da Vinci Code

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Pretty much everyone in the world has read The Da Vinci Code. It’s a decent, B-rate thriller. The religious themes in the book are fun to speculate about - especially if you know a little bit about religious history and can see the holes all over the plot. Anyway, that’s a different […]
