Memorial Day lost it's meaning?

   I always thought Memorial Day was a time to honor and remember the men and women who have died to protect our country. This no longer seems to be true for most people. Memorial Day has now turned into a reason for people to have a long weekend. For the majority of the population it is not spent visiting a cemetery and gracing these fallen heros with a gesture of flowers. In fact we now honor them by sleeping in late and sponging as much food and alcohol as we possibly can.
   So how did it get this way? It's simple, we're a selfish society, with a short attention span for importance. Sure  briefly after any war this holiday has meaning and then soon after our dementia kicks in. We only have ourselves to blame...we just don't care about anyone else but ourselves.
  There is only one way to solve this problem. Switch the day it lays on. Eliminate the opportunity for our memory to slack off. Place it in the middle of the week, this way people are forced to acknowledge the meaning without only thinking of partying. To bad this will never happen, consumers spend way to much money being gluttons on memorial weekend. In the end...money will always topple memory.

Celeb Death Plague Continues

Unlike Gary Coleman, the latest celeb death is much more memorable. Dennis Hopper passes away of prostate cancer at the age of 74. I don't mean to belittle Mr. Coleman but Dennis hopper was a good actor who truly deserved to be called a "actor". He was a rebel on and off screen, while never deviating. It's hard to fathom that a man who consumed more alcohol and drugs then most junkies in lifetime would go down from balls cancer. To Mr. Hopper I say Don't go on the bus or drive that motorcycle past 1960's hillbillies. <-----pitiful movies references

Another Dead Celeb

Is it me or does it seem like the black plague is striking the celebrity nation. So many famous individuals appear to be dieing lately. The most recent seems to be Gary Coleman from the 70's show "Different Strokes". The only thing he'll probably be remembered for is his quote, "what u talking about Willis". All I have to say is happy trails to you sir.

Commercial Conspiracy?

     Maybe it's just me, but why is it that every TV channel seems to have their commercials on at the same time. I'm one of those people who like to have a back up show on TV that I can flip to when a commercial pops on. Although lately what seems to be a united stand by cable to allow me to do this has come to an end. Sure this makes sense for the stations, it prevents me from leaving their channel. But is this fair? Maybe this is just a coincidence and it's just happening to me. I know what your thinking right now, who cares. Well I do, this really annoys me when I'm eating, because I'm old fashioned and consider watching television while eating to be a way to enhance family bonding...sarcasm. And for those of you who haven't noticed this ever occurring phenomenon...just wait. I guess at the end of the day I'll have to adapt and enjoy the only commercial that seems to be on TV...the dame progressive insurance girl..."discount".

The Demand

Me and my friend made this horrible short clip, it consists of a phone conversation between a kidnapper and the victims father...enjoy.

Checkers Indeed

     Who could have imagined that the game checkers has been around since 3000B.C. This is a great game that allows even a 4 year old to best an opponent much older. It's a game that looks like no strategy is needed when in fact there is.
     For one thing who can deny the pleasure of a triple hope, or love the feeling of saying "king me". Me and my friend entrenched ourselves in a battle of checkers today...and let's just say I should have won. I had two kings to his one and I still lost...I blame it on the motions of the game.
     This is a game that is often compared to chess, but let's be serious checkers is...much better. All I have to say is, I'd rather say king me then check mate.

Beer VS Liquor

Beer versus' liquor is a age old question. Which one is better? For me the answer is beer. Don't get me wrong liquor has it's benefits as far as making you look a lot better to the ladies. But, it's a liver killer and you never know where you're at as far as the level of intoxication that comes over you. It's kinda like a tsunami, you don't see it coming until it's to late and that's when trouble starts for the neighbors pet. With beer your able to see the storm coming and avoid it. As I said earlier liquor does lower a girls expectations...but it also lowers yours, allowing for a troubling morning. For those of you who choose beer...good call. For those of you who pick liquor, then I say good luck with no liver and possibly waking up to a transexual...and a new need for therapy.
