Survivor: Heros vs Villains Disappointments 01.11.10

I’m always excited to see that Survivor has been signed on for another season, but for a few reasons the upcoming season just disappoints me.

It’s a recycled cast.  Sure I really enjoy looking at Danielle and Parvati, but it’s not like an all new cast wouldn’t have provided some eye candy for the show either.  [...]

Super Mario Bros. Wii 01.03.10

Yesterday my brother picked it up at Best Buy while we were up in Chattanooga, and he forgot it here when he went home yesterday.  Needless to say, today was mostly spent playing it.  I’ve been wanting to try it out since seeing that it was released and watching some video reviews of it.  I [...]

I Take That Back Craigslist 12.16.09

I decided on Monday to list that hood that I mentioned one more time just to see if there would be any bites or if Craigslist was a lost cause for it.  Within 20 minutes I got an email from a guy that was interested in it.  I wasn’t interested in trading so I told [...]

Craigslist Low-Ballers 12.09.09

Every classified/auction site online apparently has it’s own quirks.  eBay is home of outrageous fees for the sellers and then sellers that charge outrageous shipping to make money.  Craigslist has got to be the home of low-ballers.
I have a brand new aftermarket ram-air style hood for the S10 that I recently put on there.  I [...]

Why Tax The Rich More? 11.17.09

When it comes to paying for a health care overhaul, Americans see just one way to go: Tax the rich.
The House bill would impose a 5.4 percent income tax surcharge on individuals making more than $500,000 a year and households making more than $1 million. Source

Trapt 10.14.09

Trapt is a band that I’ve recently put in my all time favorite list. Unfortunately their latest album was the only one that I was able to catch when it was new, but I have since then went back and found their first two albums. I wish that I had caught them back [...]

Response Suspense 10.02.09

I hate sending someone a message, someone you don’t really know but would really like to know, and not getting a response in a decent time-frame.  I think it’s just really seeing acknowledgment that what I said was taken correctly.  I’m always second guessing myself, the wording of things I write, wondering if I perhaps [...]

Integrity 08.31.09

Some people have it; some people lack it.  Out of the numerous qualities and values defining a person’s character, integrity is one of the more important ones to me.  A person’s word is not taken for much nowadays, and it really is a shame because if you take away all of the material items, your [...]

Texts I Find Annoying 08.06.09

I see the convenience in text messages as well as the privacy they carry, especially if you are maybe at work or out with some people that you would rather not hear half of a conversation with someone else, but I think some texts are sometimes on the annoying side.
Those would be:

Messages that span more [...]
