This could have gone in my sports section because I’ve only seen this commercial during sports events, but there’s a DirectTV commercial out right now that I kind of find disturbing. There’s a male sitting on a couch watching a football game, and his son sits on the couch next to him and asks “Can …

My Random Thoughts
The Taurus
Well, like most of my life, my trip became instantly less sexy. I got screwed over by the “or similar” part of the car rental contract and instead of getting a Mustang like I had hoped, I got a Ford Taurus. Nice car, but not a Mustang. Either way I arrived in Pittsburgh (check the …
Pittsburgh
Well, sorry I haven’t posted much in the last week. I’ve been trying to get a couple new functionality things working, and I think I’m going to start another blog on this site (ie, there’s Random Thoughts, and Sports, and soon there’ll be one more). However, I am now officially a grown-up. Nope, I’m not …

Destiny

And then when they have the last screen of the commercial, under the NFL Network logo is the phrase “Imagine …
Total Money Makeover!! YEAH!!
So I went to the Dave Ramsey “Total Money Makeover Live!” this past Saturday. It was good, however, leading up to it, it kind of felt like I was going to a rock show. There were people there with T-Shirts that said “I’m Debt Free” or “I see Debt People” or “Cheetah!!” (for those of …
Spam Sample (spample)
Here’s an actual spam that came through work: Sex is a play, and you must win! [there was a link here] The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. There is a good side to every situation. Never ascribe to an opponent motives meaner than your own. Men are born to succeed, …
Attracting Comments
Now that I actually have the commenting functionality in place on the site, it’s interesting to see which posts attract the most comments. So far, my brief comment on sweater vests has gotten more comments then anything. That makes me laugh. But I suppose that if someone makes a more serious observation, you want your …
Sweater Vests
Why is it that girls can wear sweater vests and be hot, and I just look like a high-school substitute math teacher? (this is rhetorical by the way, I don’t really need an answer)
