You know you’re old when…
So football season obviously can’t come soon enough, and there is hardly a more exciting underachieving team to look out for than the RAIDAHS. They’ve spent the most money on guys, and their season rests upon guys full of unknown potentials–WHO ARE ALL MOSTLY YOUNGER THAN ME (wah).
Initially it was LeBron James who’s a full […]

A Glimpse Back at the Past and Toward the Future
It was just about two years ago to the day when the fate of our livelihoods were temporarily taken out of our hands and put into that of a handful of 4,000 behemoths running down a narrow path with many a twist and turn everywhere in the annual, week long event known as the running […]

This past weekend was filled with reuniting with different people from different stages of my life whom I had formed different relationships with who I hadn’t seen in what seems like forever ago..

A Whole Lot Less to Love…
I posted an item a while back posing this ever so stringent, age old question:
“I’ll take famous UCLA Bruins for $1000 Alex”
Alex: “This is what Tien Nguyen and Kevin Love have in common.”
“What is they’ve been been mentioned in the New York Times?”

Sushi^52
First there were 30…
Object of round 1: down/eat/inhale 27 pieces of sushi as fast as you can. First two in each group of 10 advance to the final round. The ringer to my left finished in like a minute, and I was in a neck to neck race with the rest of the 8 guys.
Round […]

Almost a month…reflections
So we’re closing in on a month when my life got flipped turn upside down so I’d like to take a minute just sit right there…and so forth.

Nice guys finish not first
This article pretty much has it spot on..
UCLA coach Ben Howland is a nice man, and his team is a reflection of that. He has a nice center. A nice power forward. And on and on, all the way down to his nice point guard. Howland has put together a program that is presentable […]

I don’t normally pay attention to lyrics of “poppish” songs, but a couple have stuck out in my head as songs that on the surface seem pretty nice, romantic, and all that hoopla, but if you were to really pay attention they’re just downright creepy and stalkerish.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other
Nostalgia defined.
The Americanized, modern day Pamplona bull run; sans bulls, sans culottes, sans exclusion of females.
