Hot-lanta...here I come!

In keeping with the updateing trend that's happening on onemattDOTcom, let's catch you up on the last few weeks.

Things are going great at the new job.

Beachapalooza 2008 - There's always room for Jello!

One aspect of the upcoming beach trip that we are very much looking forward to are making and consuming jello shots.

Graham...you are *pause* a doofus.

One of the eternally upsetting things about reality TV in the 21st century is it's hold on us.  We have to watch, even though we know it might either be completed staged or at least somewhat scripted.  I mean, on Survivor, someone other than the contestants choose the …

Beach Baby - Home of Beachapalooza '08!

Another weekend has flown by...and I mean FLOWN by!  Christy and I had dinner and drinks with Rusty and Gina on Friday...which was a blast.  We went to this wine shop for a free wine tasting, then went to Mellow Mushroom for dinner.  Afterwards we cruised to Casa de …

Beachapalooza 2008!

You know when you have wonderful friends, you can get through just about anything.

Coming soon, the premiere beach event of 2008 as we present continuous coverage of Beachapalooza 2008: Bloody Mary Days & Bourbon Nights...a.k.a. our big Labor Day beach trip to Seagrove, …

What's been keeping me busy

Greetings readers...it's been a while since I came and talked to you about what all has been going on in my life, so I thought it best if I took the time to do that today.

I recently accepted a new job working for a great company here in Birmingham called Travel Nurse …

American Idol - Reaction to Final Results Show

So in the course of human events, if you have to choose between Top Chef and the American Idol season finale...choose Idol.

American Idol - Season 7 Performance Finale Recap

As soon as I saw the microphone descending from the rafters, I said out loud "Please don't let Michael Buffer be at the end of that mic..." and apparently today is not my day for wish-granting. I have to admit though, instead of the pomp and circumstance of previous …

Something that's long overdue

Friends are hard to come by.

One of the cooler things I've seen in a while

As you all know, I'm a huge MMORPG gamer...MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. These are mostly games like Everquest, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, etc. Anyway, one of the newer games in development by Cryptic Studios is …

American Idol - Reaction To Top 3 Results Show

Well, well, well...where to begin?

American Idol - Top 3 Sing 3 Songs Each!

I didn't know what else to call this post...so forgive the lack of a cool title. I was going to call it the "American Idol - Just How Much Can We Fit Into One Hour" or "American Idol - It's The Week Where The Contestants Go Home But You Won't Be Able To Tell Because We …

American Idol - Reaction to Top 4 Results Show

America got it right.

Take care, Jason.

That is all.

American Idol - Top 4 Rock the Rock 'n Roll HOF!

I should tell you that I accidentally wrote in Brooke White's name on my scoresheet tonight...I'm not sure what that is besides odd. Anyway...! It's time for Idol, folks!! Our favorite night of the week, and we're down to our Final Four! This week, the Idol …

Sometimes it pays to listen to the Jill

About a week ago, me and my sister-in-law, Jill, went to CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) for lunch.

American Idol - Top 5 Week In Review

So instead of doing two separate posts regarding this week's show and results, I'm going to combine the two into one long post.

UPDATE - American Idol Post This Week

Just a quick FYI here...Christy is out of town until tonight, so I'm going to postpone my performance review and reaction posts until tonight and tomorrow respectively.

American Idol - Reaction to Top 6 Results Show

Tonight's show starts off pretty good...the little arrangement with the contestants (I refuse to call them all American Idols...much like the Highlander...there can be only one) was pretty good.

American Idol - Top 6 Sing Andrew Lloyd Webber!

Let me first apologize for the lateness of this post...we didn't get a chance to watch Idol last night until a bit later in the night, and we were done watching it at 10pm, so I am writing this after having a night's sleep to think on the performances.

American Idol - Reaction to Top 7 Results Show

I literally just got finished watching the results of this week's American Idol show, and so here are my thoughts...

WOOHOO!!!!!!

In case you missed it, our old friend Kristy Lee Cook has been booted off the show...but we'll get to what that means in a minute. First …
