I’ve been reading and thinking a lot lately about how much of a consumer I am. I guess this is what I get for dedicating this year to reading and learning about economics. Over the last few weeks I keep wondering why I don’t act more. I mean sure, I get motivated. I can theorize [...]

I just got finished watching another great documentary (review forthcoming), Who Killed The Electric Car?
I’ve just about decided I’m going to have to become an anarchist (sarcasm implied).
I’m so sick of finding out about how our government and big business do all of this shady stuff behind the scenes. It pisses me off that I’m [...]

Ben told Alpert to go to the temple.
What was Ben doing with the two girls in the [...]

It’s happening boys and girls. When I woke up this morning I swear I was as happy as I used to get as a kid when I knew that 8-bit Nintendo with Duck Hunt was waiting on me.
The Canadians, who get the episodes hours ahead of us, are already raving about it. This is the [...]

This is a little tribute I put together of one of the greatest dudes to ever pick up an electric axe. And he kicks Maroon 5’s sorry excuse for music all over the place.
It’s been a long time since I ranted and raved about people in Hollywood I don’t like. But today is that day. [...]
