Personal Clarification on Student Loan Debt

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

As I travel around the internet and read some of the many horror stories that are emerging about young people who take on too much student loan debt, I can’t help but make a few comments about my own situation. First of all, if you don’t know my student loan situation, it made front […]

New/Old Gym & Swimming Again

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

For those of you who have been reading this blog for the last few years, I feel sorry for you. Ha ha! You may remember that I used to attend a gym in Ocean Township (I hate Ocean Township) where I was completely creeped out by some of the gym-goers and their gross […]

A Sorry Milestone: SPAM50000

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

This morning when I woke up and went through my usual round of checking certain websites for certain things, I noticed that Askimet (the program that catches spam posts on this blog before they are posted) had a new number of “caught spam messages.”
This number is over 50,000. How sad and sorry is that? […]

Rosie O’Donnell: The Definition of “Coward”

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Not only was Rosie O’Donnell completely destroyed on The View last week by Elisabeth Hasselback, but she dared to call Elisabeth a coward…when just a few short days after their argument, it appears that Rosie is the one defining this term.
For those of you that don’t know, Rosie and Elisabeth got into a war of […]

A Roxbury Student Excels

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

As a proud graduate of Roxbury High School in Succasunna, New Jersey, I wanted to give a quick “congratulations” shot out to Jared Percevault of Roxbury’s Eisenhower Middle School.
Mr. Percevault was one of only three students in the entire nation that scored perfectly on the National Social Studies League test administered by Continental Mathematics League, […]

Enough is Enough! Someone Get Mad About This!

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Folks, we’re being fleeced and it’s happening right underneath our own noses! A report released by USA Today shows that taxpayers are in the hole for about $59 trillion. That’s more than $516 thousand per household! Damn it! The government spent way more than it earned last year and now we […]

Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End was phenomenal! I highly recommend going out and seeing this movie if you get a chance. Whereas Shrek the Third was way too short for my liking, Pirates of the Caribbean was much longer and filled out (and completed) many of the storylines that we’ve been […]

Arrogant Abuse of the Summer #1 & #2

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

You know when summer hits Deal, New Jersey when the New Yorkers are keeping you up at all hours of the night. Tonight, we had the first gathering of 10 - 15 year olds outside of our window. The cops were called and the kids dispersed a little after midnight. Completely ridiculous […]

Rosie Quits the Fight After Getting a Beating

Friday, May 25th, 2007

If you’ve watched any of the major cable news channels for the last few days, you’ve seen the Elisabeth Hasselback vs. Rosie O’Donnell war on ABC’s The View. In this heated exchange of words, Hasselback broke out of her shell and started verbally abusing Rosie to the point where Rosie literally had no answers […]

A Jam-Packed Week of “Opposites TV”

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

What a week of television we have had, huh? So far I’d call this “Opposites TV” for a variety of reasons - all of which I hope you’ll understand after reading some ranting below.
It started with the Sopranos building up to their big send off and a good old-fashioned curb kick from Tony Soprano […]

Movie Review: Shrek the Third

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Last night I decided to go to the movies to see Shrek the Third - the latest in the Shrek saga (by the way, Shrek 4 is already in pre-production according to IMDB). I was pleased with this movie and there were parts where I literally laughed out loud, but at the end of […]

True Public Policy Takes Over Iraq Debate

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Finally, the Democrats have given up on including a timeline in their Iraq War funding bill. They made their case - clearly - against staying in Iraq and the bulk of their corpus was elected specifically because of Americans’ discontent with the way the war was going. However, funding the troops is the […]
