I haven’t seen a movie in the theater in forever, but there’s one movie that I’ve been dying to see for the last few months.  I love the time period, the genre and some of the actors/singers, namely, Foxx, Murphy and Jennifer Hudson.
Hudson was a contestant whom I rooted for in American Idol a few […]

So it was reported that Goldman Sachs, an I-bank, earned $9.34 billion this past year.  This is a record, and most people haven’t even heard of GS, so it may be a surprise.  Other i-banks are more high-profile, while GS just rakes in the money, as it’s always been the largest moneymaker in the world, […]

Finished.  Still have some other things to do, but I can rest and recharge my batteries.  I need to play basketball and lose some weight this break.

What’s wrong with me?  I hate Des Moines.
Anyway, I was thinking about the Lakers today after today’s game.  Walton, Evans and Farmar all had career highs today.  Sure, they’re not amazing numbers, but I realized that Mitch Kupchak hasn’t gotten much credit for recent transactions.  People only look at the Shaq situation, but that wasn’t […]

On Monday, there was a comedy sketch on Conan, in which one of the band members was infatuated with a fake, completely fabricated webcam “p*orn” site. They just made up a name for the website, that he was looking at (mouseover the link to see it). Anyway, immediately after the taping, the NBC […]

I’m a failure.  An absolute failure.

If you’ve got 4 minutes of your life to waste, take a look at this Monty Python clip. It’s basically the Greek philosophers vs. the German philosophers. This could explain why I’m not in the NBA.
A while back Bobby Lee from MadTV did this one hilarious sketch. I recently saw part II […]

How is it possible that it is December?  For many, this is a fun time.  For a student, not necessarily so.  For me, definitely not.  This will be the weekend from H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks.
So, while I was supposed to be studying, I caught the second half of the lakers/jazz game.  I’m glad I didn’t miss that 3rd […]
