CD Review: Blind Boys of Alabama - Higher Ground

I bought the Blind Boys of Alabama’s 2002 disk Higher Ground on one of those whimsical, spur of the moment kind of deals. You know the type; you go into Borders, or Barnes and Nobles, or whatever big chain you prefer to whittle away your troublesome hours amongst the pop culture references. They’ve got various […]

Movie Review: The Harder They Fall

I friggin’ love Humphrey Bogart. In fact he tops my Top 10 list of greatest actors. He played cold blooded villains, cynical but good hearted tough guys, down on his luck schmucks and romantic leads with the same grace and passion. It doesn’t hurt that he’s been in some of the greatest movies ever made. […]

I Quit

All last week I had to help with training some new employees. I’m not exactly sure why because there were only three of them, we have a full time trainer, and I already knew all the information that was given in class. My theory is that my boss didn’t know what else to do with […]

Movie Review: The Ladykillers

The Coen Brothers have a very unique sense of style. Their […]

Movie Review: Blackboard Jungle

Ten years ago Larry Clark released his controversial film, Kids, about teens having sex, doing drugs and generally acting like delinquents. The world was shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you) that a film would depict teenagers behaving so badly. Surely, it was an exaggeration. There were exposes on the national news shows, lines formed outside the […]

Future

I just posted this in another post, but it was at the bottom of a very lengthy bit of writing, which I figure, no one will actually finish. But, I think this bit is actually kind of important to my blog, since it discusses what is to become of it now that I’m back […]

A Brief History of Brewster’s Millions
First I had 30 million dollars to spend in 30 days….no wait, that’s another Brewster’s Millions.
Just before we went to France, say around June 2004, I began to think I wanted to keep a journal of all my adventures while in Europe. Being me, and having kept an online journal […]

A Rude Awakening

Last night Amy and I stayed up later than usual watching movies (Amy) and enjoying our new entry into the broadband world (me). About 12:30 we found the bed to lie in and began to drift off to sleep.
Just after 1 am, the doorbell rang in three quick bursts. I had not quite fallen asleep […]

Moved In

We are finally moved into an apartment and settling in nicely. I put in my first week of work, and though it was not so fun going back to the daily grind, my job isn’t too tough so I shan’t complain much, now. We also just got the DSL hooked up so I am back […]

Getting Things Done

After another full day of house hunting we settled for an apartment. All the houses were either way out of our price range, or dumpy. There was one three bedroom that was really nice that we almost bought, but we eventually decided against. The yard was too shady to grow any type of garden, it […]
