Here’s Johnny…………………………………..
After almost 19 months, I’m back. Why? Why was it so long? Because I got a job and we all know that the machinery of capitalism is oiled by the blood of its workers. And like you, I am again one of them. Bleeding heavily. But I have already re-claimed my American sense of complacency and […]
One of the Greatest Tribal Councils Ever on Survivor
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. After being off for a week due to the start of the NCAA tournament, Survivor aired on Wednesday night this week (again due to tournament coverage on its normal Thursday). And it was another good episode in what has been a very entertaining season. The show started with the usual coverage of […]
Rough Time For Some on Survivor
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. I had to DVR this past Thursday’s episode of Survivor and watch it on Sunday because I was out celebrating my 40th birthday from Thursday afternoon thru Saturday night. But now that I got that out of my system, it’s back to business. Looking for jobs and posting blogs. Thursday’s show […]
Corey Haim and Me Not So Different
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. So I wake up this morning to read the reports that former teen star Corey Haim died from a drug overdose. One of the stars of The Lost Boys and License to Drive. He was 38. And today is my very last day of being 39 years old. Tomorrow is my […]
Survivor has its first blindside
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………… The Survivor episode that aired Thursday night started off with a rather surprising scene—-but hilarious nonetheless. Big, tough guy Coach broke down and cried like Gloria Stivic used to do on All in the Family. You know…..the whining and the sobbing and the sniffling……When he was doing it, I was laughing […]
Why in God’s Name Would You Cheat ??
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… I’ve explored a couple of angles of infidelity in some previous posts. In one of them, I just observed that for the most powerful people around, cheating on their spouse comes with the territory. If you are a Congressman or a captain of industry, there is just a sense of entitlement that comes […]
Tribes Starting to Fracture on Survivor
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. This past Thursday’s episode of Survivor was pretty good. They had a good reward/immunity challenge on the surface, but in the end, it wasn’t much of a challenge. And the tribes are really starting to identify the people they don’t exactly like within their own ranks. The show started with JT offering […]
2nd Episode of Survivor Gets Catty
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. This past Thursday’s episode of Survivor really seemed to see the two tribes turn it up a notch as far as bickering and already targeting each other. And it was the heroes doing it more so than the villains. The first key event was when Boston Rob went down due to […]
My Dirty Dozen Prophecies Revisited
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………… Well, it’s been another 7 or 8 weeks since I last reviewed my Dirty Dozen prophecies that I made on 11/5/09. I last checked on them 12/23/09 and a couple had already come true. And I know that another one came awfully close since then—but failed—so I thought perhaps I’d take […]
Survivor All Stars Opens With a Bang !
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… I had to take a short hiatus the last 8-10 days as I attended to some family business out in Nevada. Unfortunately, my father passed away on Super Bowl Sunday. He was a great man and a great father and I’ll be sharing some memories of him in the coming days […]
