I can't say that I've loved you all, but I've loved as many of you as I could.

About Me

"Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Total Randomness

Practical jokes are awesome.  Just ask Josh. I would describe HDNet's "Inside MMA" as 30 minutes of programming crammed into an hour.  Yeah, you read that right. Not having a working compute...

2007 Year in Review

What a dull year.  Nothing really interesting happened in '07 for me. Nothing really good OR bad.  I wasn't able to pay off my car last year (though I was soooo close). I'm at the same job basically...

UFC Light Heavyweight Landscape

It used to always be said that MMA needed some seriously popular heavyweights to gain a bigger mainstream audience, but I don't think that's true.  It's true in boxing, definitely, but MMA is a f...

Golden Compass

I gotta say, this movie kinda rocks.  It's not Lord of the Rings, but it's better than Narnia as far as I'm concerned.  The acting is excellent including top-tier voice work.  The CGI is very well don...

Rick Queviews

SOILWORK - SWORN TO A GREAT DIVIDEI wondered what they would sound like without guitarist Peter Wichers. Apparently, he was responsible for a lot of the catchiness of their sound. This just sounds n...

Hardest Job in the World

If you were to ask the average person on the street what the hardest job in the world was, they'd probly give you some bullshit like police officer, house wife, bomb squad tech, President of the US or...

Weird Al Rocks!

I saw Weird Al Yankovic last night and it was one of the best shows I've ever attended, both musically and visually. I've seen several bands that had been together for two or three decades, but none ...

MMA pt 2

To say the least, MMA is hard to predict. The last two UFC events were full of upsets, but they were some of the best fights I've ever seen. Cheik Kongo out-fought Mirko Cro Cop to win the decision ...

I Went to Chicago to See Katatonia and I Didn’t Even Get a Lousy T-Shirt
