Not that there aren't some great songs on the list, but dammit if there wasn't some serious dropping of the ball when it came to other songs. If you've got the time and patience (yeah, it's one of tho...

Back from Japan!

So I'm finally back from Japan, and all I can say is. . . .WOW!! From the moment I got off the plane at Narita Airport, I could already feel this strange and wonderful effect of being in such a totall...

Sometimes, I miss having a car. . .

So about a month ago, I was in a teeny tiny fender bender, and the damage to my (father's) car proved too much for it to be worth it to fix. It was a 98 Mazda with 129,000 miles on it, for cryin'...

Dammit, Rihanna!!

Man, when this girl first came out, I couldn't give a rat's ass about her! I just didn't see the appeal. Maybe it's my being of Carribbean descent, and just not finding her all that interesting on tha...

Deception: Sometimes, it pays to listen to the critics

I don't know for sure, but I'd have to say Deception is probably the worst film I've seen this year. Lord knows I probably should have known better. They had promoted the hell out of it until a week b...

My Third Time Seeing RjD2. . . .

. . .and if I must say, this was the best show I've seen him do thus far! Just about every time the man comes to DC, I make a point to check him out, but I missed a show he did last year, just after h...

Praying for Sunday to Come

So, this past weekend has really caught up with me. I guess that's what three nights of hardcore partying will do to ya. In any event, I've pretty much been off my game since Monday. I either can't ge...

Pittsburgh Comic Con: The War Report

Ah, comic convention season is upon us! So I did the Pittsburgh Con for the first time, and I have to say, it was a lot of fun. Granted, a lot of that fun was from hangin' with the Philly Rat Pack: JD...

Bye, Bye Wire. You Will Be Missed

Him sad now. The Wire has ended. What a great show about a city I avoid like the plague, except when it's time for Comic-Con. Unlike a lot of crime dramas on television, The Wire really went beyond ju...
