Common Sense, Where Art Thou?

At what point in your life do you develop common sense because it sure isn't in middle school. Three things happened today, each with a different kid, that made me come to this conclusion and oddly enough they all happened at lunch time. Maybe low blood sugar is to …

A Depressing Season

I have a feeling this is going to be a disappointing season for the St. Louis Cardinals. The new General Manager did very little, and I mean very little to strengthen the team for next season. In fact, he let some of our good players go (Eckstein, Edmonds, Rolen, …

The DMV

Yes, it's time for a rant about the Department of Motor Vehicles and how inefficient the process of getting new plates for a car is. Come with me on a journey to the bureaucratic maze that is the DMV with a quick detour to the St. Charles County Collector's Office.

As …

XM Radio

I have to say one of my favorite features of my new car is XM satellite radio. I always wondered who would pay for radio. The quality is not that great, it's radio so you hear the same stuff over and over, and there are way too many commercials. With my car I …

Ideology and Interests

I was watching an old George Carlin comedy special on HBO Comedy tonight and I began thinking about someone I used to work with when I worked at Domino's in high school and college. I worked with this guy for about 5 years and got to know him really well. One thing …

Trivia Night

Last night I participated in a Trivia Night that a family friend was promoting. The cause was for cancer research. Amanda spends countless hours each year raising money for research and last night was no exception. I think she said they raised over $12,000. There …

Wii Wishes

Yesterday I read an article on how to turn the Nintendo Wii into a media center. Now, remember, this isn't a real media center. The Wii has no hard drive, it doesn't play DVDs. This was essentially a way to stream the media on your PC to the Wii. I tried it, and it …

Obama Keeps Winning

Last night we saw Barack Obama win his 9th and 10th consecutive victories in the race to become the Democratic candidate for President. Hawaii and Wisconsin both chose Mr. Obama over Hillary Clinton. These are no long insignificant victories, as Mrs. Clinton's …

New Cell Phone

I would like a new cell phone. I don't really need a new one, but I've had my Razr for two years and it's time to upgrade. I can get a new phone with a discount from Verizon at the end of this month, or I can wait until April when my contract is up and go with another …

Random Weird Quotes From a Friend

I have a good friend that makes me laugh a lot. When we talk via IM, I have to look back and re-read some of the things that are said because she cracks me up. Some seem completely random and others make some sense in the context. Either way, they always brighten up …

The World Can be Saved (by the Bell)

The world is a large and frightening place filled with many bad things: Global warming, terrorism, racism, health issues, drugs, poverty, etc. You should not be afraid though. I can help you. The answer to all your fears is four simple little words: Saved by the …

Why I Will Not Vote if Clinton Wins

If Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic Party's nomination without winning the popular vote, I will not vote in the Presidential election. People who know me know that I'm deeply interested in politics and think that voting is one of the most important things you can …

It Just (doesn't) Work(s)

Let me start this post by saying I love my MacBook. I use it every single day and am not disappointed in my purchase in the least. In fact, unless the next Windows blows me away (or the current version of Linux out there) my next desktop computer will probably be a …

Some Change for Change

Today is Lincoln's birthday. In celebration of today, what not donate a little change for someone who can bring about real change? I am, of course, talking about Barack Obama. Throw him a couple Lincolns (a $5 bill and a penny for $5.01, or multiples thereof) and …

Smooth Operator

No, I'm not a smooth operator, but my car is. My new G6 is such a smooth ride. I enjoy driving it so much and am extremely happy with my purchase. I've not taken any pictures yet, but I found one online that is my exact color, chrome wheels, and spoiler. This is …

Pontiac G6 GT

So, I have a new car. Last night we went out to look for a new car. The first place we went was Suntrup Buick, Pontiac and GMC. I found the car I saw on their website and had the salesman bring it around. I took it for a quick test drive and immediately fell in …

Yes We Can

We all know tomorrow is Super Tuesday. No matter who you vote for, get out to the polls and vote! No matter what you think, your vote does matter. If you aren't happy with the way things are, you need to do something about it and the best way is to make your voice …

A New Car

I'm thinking about getting a new car soon, hopefully within the next couple weeks. I would really like to get a 6 cylinder car, as they have a much smoother ride. My very first car was a 6 cylinder Chevy Corsica. While it was an old car, it had a fairly smooth ride and …

Quick Launch with Launchy

Ever since I got my MacBook I've fallen in love with the Quicksilver feature of typing control and space then typing the first few letters of the application I want to launch to launch it. This keeps the desktop and the dock clean and is quicker than going to your …
