Last night was yet another in a line of odd and surreal evenings this past week. The entire family went over to a friends house for dinner. I met Amy and the kids there and from around 6:45 until 11:00pm Jess, Butch, Amy and myself sat and talked about all kinds of things. We laughed [...]

Captain America hates America
Posted: February 22, 2010 in Non FictionTags: Captain America, Tea Party
I don’t know if anyone paid attention to the Captain America controversy over the past couple of weeks but at one point it got extremely amusing. The story got picked up by several media outlets and caused a storm of anger and snark all over the internet. Some sites reported it as a straight news [...]

Here we are kids at the end of another year. 2009 was a tumultuous year to say the least with an economic crisis and terrorist threats and a new Twilight movie. As we move into the next decade I am hopeful that the world will calm down, people will be nicer and my car will [...]

Keep in mind that you’re going to hear a lot of hurtful and hateful things in [...]
My buddy Stevo and I have had several pop culture related websites over the years. Back in 2003 we opened wtfentertainment.com as a place to post things like movie reviews and the like. About a year after we opened neither of us were really writing anything with any regularity and the site kind of sat [...]

I’ve read a bunch of stuff about how gay couples in long term committed relationships tend to be two income, usually in some kind of white collar job. They tend to move into urban neighborhoods and the communities [...]
Today my mom told Logan she wasn’t sure if I believed in God. She said that I used to but she didn’t know anymore. Amy got a little bent out of shape about it but I understand. My mother’s very limited view of what God is has her very confused by my beliefs. Most of [...]
Three years four months twenty-two days should have been enough time. I thought going in that I would be okay but the smell of new paint and furniture in the rest of the house wasn’t enough to mask her scent in the one room that hadn’t been remodeled yet. Most of her belongings had already [...]
So the nomination process has begun for the People’s Choice Awards. For years this was the only awards show I really paid any attention to as it was the only one the fans had any control over. I’ve never taken an active role in the process though. I was always content to sit back and [...]
