Hollywood Spin Doctor.
From Marc Andreessen’s Blog: The big macro story is that once upon a time, most Americans routinely went to the movies. Today, only a minority do. Hollywood can, and will continue to raise ticket prices to offset shrinking audiences. But that will presumably just cause the audiences to shrink faster. - Blog.pmarca.com The “magic” of going to the movies is lost on me. All the...

Men vs. Women
Difference between men and women 1. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. 2.

No Charlie, its not AOL
My uncle charlie is convinced that being on AOL for too long causes our entire internet connection to crash. Specifically, he thinks its the live stock tracking application. Incredibly, he refuses to believe that it can be anything else. Every few days our internet connection dies and he has to reboot the whole system. While the router is rebooting he starts to curse at the company. AOL has...

Did someone shit their pants?
I hate when I get in an elevator and I am smacked in the face with a stench that was left by the person previously riding the vertical boxcar. The smells can be anything from terrible body odor to someone wearing way too much cologne/perfume. I mean, how hard is it to find a happy medium? Then, for the entire elevator ride I am worried that the lift is going to stop and someone will get in and...
Sports guy for knicks gm
Sadly, the knicks are the most embarrassing franchise in all of sports. I put this squarely on the shoulders of our Coach and our “franchise” player. Isiah Thomas has proven yet again that he was put on this earth to do one thing and one thing only - PLAY basketball. He has not business being a GM or a Coach. Stephon Marbury has proven yet again that he is a loser. The...

I feel like the “Bush Administration” has inadvertently/indirectly/in a roundabout way (you’re choice) caused a Tumblr explosion. It’s become the new way to hang out with a bunch of people, without actually hanging out with a bunch of people.
The Spanish language, and how to get rid of it.
I’m tired of spanish. And I have come up with a two part system to get rid of the problem: 1. Speak slower 2. Speak English.
