Oh, LOST, how I love thee. LOST is a TV show. No, scratch that — LOST is an awesome TV show. I like it because it's got some action. I like it because it's got some comedy. I like it because it's got some mystery and mythology. I also like it because it's almost over. Don't get me wrong...

A senate committee here in Louisiana approved today a bill to ban smoking in bars and casinos. Currently, it is illegal to smoke in any buildings that serve the general public, excepting bars and casinos. This is obviously a controversial issue. On one hand you have non-smokers (and some smoker...

I'll cut to the chase: I love New Orleans. It's a beautiful city, rich in culture that no other American city can dare replicate. Nothing beats a NOLA spring day at about 74 degrees with a slight breeze. Maybe grab a snoball from Plum St. Take a ride on the streetcar and people-watch from the neutr...

I read Consumerist every day. It's a great resource on consumer rights and product and business disasters. Sometimes I wonder if they take consumer rights a bit far. No doubt you've gone a store like Home Depot, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy and made a purchase and were asked to see your receipt on th...

It's been a while since I've written anything, let alone anything politically motivated and I felt today's as good a day as any to go back to my roots. It's been about 20 days that we've been run by a new President. And things couldn't be worse. Every time I get a paycheck, a percentage of i...

So Obama won. Well, unofficially.

I'm going to do a run down on the past couple of weeks. I'll get a solid post up sometime soon. As I mentioned earlier, I've met a girl. Her name's Brandi. I guess I should say she met me because she was the one with the guts to say anything. Anyway, after a few weeks of me halfway talking to h...
Wednesday, September 06, 2006 10:31pm
On a more serious note, I've made a documentary about how far along (or how little far along) New Orleans has gotten in the last year. I filmed it over Labor Day weekend with the help of my cousin and her husband driving and navigating me through the city. The camera's a bit shakey, but I was in...
Monday, August 28, 2006 3:06pm
As I've mentioned in the past, I read about 10 different news sites a day so I can keep up with world around me. Nearly every day CNN has an article or two up like this one here detailing how difficult it is going to be to rebuild New Orleans. They usually spotlight one or two families from on...

I was thinking about next month being August already. 2006 is kinda zooming by. August brings with it an interesting date. August 29th. That'll be one year since Hurricane Katrina made landfall over New Orleans. I'm going to reflect more on the anniversary as it looms closer, but I was just looking...
Sunday, April 30, 2006 3:24am
So Nintendo decided on a name for their next generation console. Wii. You say it like "we.” If you Google "Wii" you'll find a bunch of blogs and LiveJournal entries about how the name sounds like a synonym for "urine.” Because the internet is still run by twelve year olds. ...
Monday, February 13, 2006 1:58am
So, Fark had a link to an article about a Houston cop who said the people from New Orleans that he's met are "wiseasses." I find that pretty accurate, actually. See, my opinions on the whole Katrina matter have changed greatly since August 29, 2005. I originally said that the state and local g...

I found this article via Fark tonight. It's about a Dateline report on MySpace and how sexual predators are using it to find kids. The girl they interviewed had her full name, address, and school schedule on her page. I think under occupation she put "dumbest fucking teenager.” Whe...
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:16pm
So, yesterday, on Martin Luther King Day, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin spoke to a small inter-racial crowd of about 75. He talked about how we need to rebuild the city. He also talked about how New Orleans needs to come back as a "chocolate city" again. He urged African-Americans to come back becaus...

Saw this on CNN. They pulled Brokeback Mountain in Salt Lake City because there's a gay romance in it. Or maybe because Heath Ledger's in it. Seriously though, Utah, I have to let you in on a few things. 1) Movies are not real. They are stories. You know, like the Bible. Also like the Bib...

First, an update to my previous "hypothetical" post. I took everyone's advice and talked to my boss. Told him about 85% of everything I posted about and did my best not to hold back. Worked like a charm. I got a nice fat $1.50 raise putting me at a pay rate I feel to be appropriate. And it's mor...

I'm somewhat of a grammar nazi. I like properly typed things. I also like hearing things properly. I have three basic rules when it comes to internet grammar: 1. If you're typing in some sort of instant form of communication (chat room, IM), a few typos here and there are acceptable. 2. If you'...

I had a nice Christmas. Didn't feel much like Christmas, but hey, it was nice to have it in New Orleans. Now, to the topic at hand mobile! I want honest opinions from my handful of readers on this. Let's say, you were in high school and decided to get a job. You fill out an application at ...
Sunday, December 18, 2005 2:42pm
In case you've been under a rock for the last month or so, you've probably heard about all this crap about people being pissed that everyone is saying "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings!" instead of "Merry Christmas.” What the hell is wrong with that? I mean, seriously, unless you k...
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 9:23pm
So, Mayor Ray Nagin announced today that they would be launching free city-wide WiFi internet with download speeds of up to 512kb/s, pretty much awesome. I like this idea. Now, granted, that speed is illegal abse don state laws so it will probably drop to 128kb/s once the state of emergency is l...

I have a few topics to cover, but this one struck me as interesting. The Hummer. It's an offroad vehicle that 1 in 10 Americans own and that 1 in 10 of those actually need them. They're gas guzzlers. Hummer states 13 miles per gallon, but real world reports state closer to 10mpg. Now, this...

This subject is a touchy one, but I'm tired of it going unnoticed, or at least, undiscussed. Here's my beef: racism is everywhere. In the south, it's black and white. In California, is Mexican and American. In England, it's black/white and middle-eastern. Blacks claim racism from whites. Whites...

So, there's this game you may have heard of for PS2 and XBOX called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The game is named for a ...

I'm going to do a run down on the past couple of weeks. I'll get a solid post up sometime soon. As I mentioned earlier, I've met a girl. Her name's Brandi. I guess I should say she met me because she was the one with the guts to say anything. Anyway, after a few weeks of me halfway talking to h...

On a more serious note, I've made a documentary about how far along (or how little far along) New Orleans has gotten in the last year. I filmed it over Labor Day weekend with the help of my cousin and her husband driving and navigating me through the city. The camera's a bit shakey, but I was in...
Monday, August 28, 2006 3:06pm
As I've mentioned in the past, I read about 10 different news sites a day so I can keep up with world around me. Nearly every day CNN has an article or two up like this one here detailing how difficult it is going to be to rebuild New Orleans. They usually spotlight one or two families from on...

During the nationwide debate about evolution and intelligent design being taught in schools, a man by the name of Bobby Henderson created the Flying Spaghetti Monster to protest the Kansas school board's deceision to teach ID in a public school. For the full story, read this Wikipedia entry , b...

Disclaimer: Because of personal ties with one of the "suspects" this post may contain some bias. Also, due to my rage that incident is being handled how it is, I'll refrain from a Podcast because I think the many expletives you'll read will more than cover your daily allotted dosage of "fuck....

I was thinking about next month being August already. 2006 is kinda zooming by. August brings with it an interesting date. August 29th. That'll be one year since Hurricane Katrina made landfall over New Orleans. I'm going to reflect more on the anniversary as it looms closer, but I was just looking...

So Nintendo decided on a name for their next generation console. Wii. You say it like "we.” If you Google "Wii" you'll find a bunch of blogs and LiveJournal entries about how the name sounds like a synonym for "urine.” Because the internet is still run by twelve year olds. ...
Monday, February 13, 2006 1:58am
So, Fark had a link to an article about a Houston cop who said the people from New Orleans that he's met are "wiseasses." I find that pretty accurate, actually. See, my opinions on the whole Katrina matter have changed greatly since August 29, 2005. I originally said that the state and local g...

Dear Internet Users – Ever since the Internet was conceived by Tim Berners-Lee it, quickly climbed a tall ladder, become an amazing tool and almost as quickly, became a steaming pile of horse shit, covered in bird urine, coated with a nice layer of cat vomit, and topped off with a beauti...
Monday, January 30, 2006 12:55am
I found this article via Fark tonight. It's about a Dateline report on MySpace and how sexual predators are using it to find kids. The girl they interviewed had her full name, address, and school schedule on her page. I think under occupation she put "dumbest fucking teenager.” Whe...
Tuesday, January 17, 2006 9:16pm
So, yesterday, on Martin Luther King Day, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin spoke to a small inter-racial crowd of about 75. He talked about how we need to rebuild the city. He also talked about how New Orleans needs to come back as a "chocolate city" again. He urged African-Americans to come back becaus...

Saw this on CNN. They pulled Brokeback Mountain in Salt Lake City because there's a gay romance in it. Or maybe because Heath Ledger's in it. Seriously though, Utah, I have to let you in on a few things. 1) Movies are not real. They are stories. You know, like the Bible. Also like the Bib...
Saturday, January 07, 2006 2:15am
So, Wednesday was my 22nd Birthday. We're celebrating tonight around 8pm (that's Saturday, the 7th) at my house. Call me if you wanna go. Or reply to this and hopefully I'll see it in time and will give you directions. If you read this site on any sort of regular basis (or irregular basis), you're ...

First, an update to my previous "hypothetical" post. I took everyone's advice and talked to my boss. Told him about 85% of everything I posted about and did my best not to hold back. Worked like a charm. I got a nice fat $1.50 raise putting me at a pay rate I feel to be appropriate. And it's mor...

I'm somewhat of a grammar nazi. I like properly typed things. I also like hearing things properly. I have three basic rules when it comes to internet grammar: 1. If you're typing in some sort of instant form of communication (chat room, IM), a few typos here and there are acceptable. 2. If you'...

I had a nice Christmas. Didn't feel much like Christmas, but hey, it was nice to have it in New Orleans. Now, to the topic at hand mobile! I want honest opinions from my handful of readers on this. Let's say, you were in high school and decided to get a job. You fill out an application at ...
Sunday, December 18, 2005 2:42pm
In case you've been under a rock for the last month or so, you've probably heard about all this crap about people being pissed that everyone is saying "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings!" instead of "Merry Christmas.” What the hell is wrong with that? I mean, seriously, unless you k...
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 9:23pm
So, Mayor Ray Nagin announced today that they would be launching free city-wide WiFi internet with download speeds of up to 512kb/s, pretty much awesome. I like this idea. Now, granted, that speed is illegal abse don state laws so it will probably drop to 128kb/s once the state of emergency is l...

It's official: I've launched Rate-Everything.com . The site was all Alex and Kevin's ideas, then I jumped in and made the site. It uses the Frisbee software I wrote that powers Frobba. Rate Everything will attempt to rate, well, everything. While other sites only rate music, or movies, or games...

Had a good Thanksgiving. Fried turkey and a turducken make for the best, most southern Thanksgiving ever. -- As Machine Head plays on iTunes right now, I'll still mention that I'm listening to Skeelo and Coolio and the Ghetto Boyz in regular rotation on my iPod. I want some new music thoug...
Monday, October 24, 2005 8:24pm
I have a few topics to cover, but this one struck me as interesting. The Hummer. It's an offroad vehicle that 1 in 10 Americans own and that 1 in 10 of those actually need them. They're gas guzzlers. Hummer states 13 miles per gallon, but real world reports state closer to 10mpg. Now, this...

There's a new web browser entering the "market.” Okay, so it's not so much a new browser since it's just a modified FireFox, but it throws in some great plusses. It's called Flock and it's coming to you soon. First, we'll straight-up compare it to other browsers, including FireFox. Fir...

New Orleans and Metairie are under seige. People have armed themselves and are shooting at officers and military. They're shooting at helicopters trying to rescue people. Rescue attempts have been halted because of these assholes. People rescued from Orleans Parish being brought to Jefferson Parish...

Check out this article . Mr. Bush who seems to be so sympathetic for everything and is sending us help and whatnot and I'm tahnkful for that. But the asshole cut the Army Corps of Engineers funding by $71.2million in 2004 which would have benefitted New Orleans' levee system to support a Category ...

This subject is a touchy one, but I'm tired of it going unnoticed, or at least, undiscussed. Here's my beef: racism is everywhere. In the south, it's black and white. In California, is Mexican and American. In England, it's black/white and middle-eastern. Blacks claim racism from whites. Whites...

So, there's this game you may have heard of for PS2 and XBOX called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It's a game that, when originally released, was rated M for Mature Audiences over 17 due to violence, drug use, extreme language, and many other crimes being portrayed as fun. The game is named for a ...

If there could only be one thing in the world that I could hate, it would be people who are so arrogant that they think everything revolves around them and when someone does something to piss them off or hurt their feelings, they air it out in front of everyone. Case in point: A friend —...

I generally stay out of the Republican vs. Democrat argument, but this is a time where all publishers, print and digital, need to stand up and say "Enough is enough!” Section 2257 of US Code, Title 18 went into effect this morning at midnight. It basically says that anyone depicting a sexu...

So, last night, I worked the door at Nick's. It was awesome. I made some easy cash. I planned to use it to buy a new tire since I destroyed my other one on a curb Friday night. Everything was going great. No patrons patronized me. I did my job well. I was initiated into the Nick's family. We were h...

Welcome to June. On with the post. Napoleon Dynamite quoting and referencing. Yes, the movie was funny. No, you are not. The Word "diva" I want to meet the person that coined this word. I want to have his skill. I also want to meet every marketing exec that thought it good to use the wo...

While I'm waiting for my work to do itself for me, I figured I'd post since I'm afuckingddicted to posting here. So, like I mentioned yesterday, I picked up Weezer, Beck, and NIN's new albums. I finally gave them a listen. Beck's Guero is REALLY good. Mutations was a decent album. "Tropicalia...

I tweaked the site a bit. I shrank the header glyph at the top a bit to accommodate those who are still on 800x600. I also darkened the body text since some said it was a bit hard to read. There are some others, but mostly because I'm a perfectionist. Check this: Metairie guy arrested for hackin...

I had this discussion with Chad at work today. I thought it was entertaining enough to post here. I decided to take it upon myself to clean up the webstore office, as neither Robby nor myself had been up there in a few weeks since we've been filling in shifts in the retail stores. I had a few fr...

A few weeks ago, I posted some bad stuff about the guy who sells my dad his gas. Unfortuantely, I was really pissed about the whole thing and posted some information that perhaps I shouldn't have posted. I also underestimated the popularity of my site, or at least its accessability through search e...

Things are fucked. The US is being run by a group of chimpanzees otherwise known as the Bush Administration. Republican, Democrat, Green Party, no party — whatever, you should probably give a shit. Look, this country's not being run that well, but, shit, this country's the best you've got....

So, I'm in transition between the store and the office now. It sucks cause I'm working every day at both places. I mean, yeah it's more money, but 60+ hours a week is bullshit. Ah well, I hope they hire my replacement in the store soon so that ends. You know what? I can post whatever I want here...

AOL Instant Messenger. We all know it, we all use it. Hell, it's a line of communication between GameTrader stores. you can even use it on your cell phone. I like it. I use it. It's better and more feature packed than AOL ever will be. So why, you ask, am I bitching about it? There's a few reaso...

Dear Terrorists: So, you guys thought it'd be cool to crash planes into buildings. Awesome. You have accomplished so much. Let's take stock: you killed about 5200 people, destryoed three whole buildings and damaged one, destroyed four commercial airliners, and now a war. The Americans — b...

The other day I said I'd be updating the site. at that time i had an idea about what i was going to bitch and whine about here, but i seem to have forgotten what it was i was going to bitch about. OH! that's right — the school shooting in california. I saw on like 20/20 or dateline or some sh...

Well, we made it past "Thanks"giving. Wow. Now here comes Commercialmas! Yes, it's that time of year again! Time to rush to Toys 'Я' Us and find the Tickle-Me Elmo of 2000. Let's all forget who's birth we're celebrating and worry about what cookies to leave out for Santa and what to buy Uncle...
