Yesterday I hit the Six Flags park near us called Great Adventure along with three friends. Great Adventure has the title of “largest amusement park in the world” though I’m still not quite sure how that gets defined. Other parks I’ve been in certainly feel larger (Disney) but maybe that doesn’t qualify. Anyway, thanks in […]

Forgive me for my commentary,Uttered for a beneficiary. For the sake of the voluptuary,I offer up this corollary. Let’s start out with the ordinary,And admit we’ve all done solitary. For those whose partners were imaginary,The euphoria will be quite momentary. While searching for some sanctuary,Teens intercourse vehiculary. Mates fantasize about the legendary.With some others it’s […]

Everyone is going around and around in a typical political game of arguing the points but not solving anything. Oil prices are going to fluctuate, but like everything else, will continue to go up over the long run. It seems obvious at this point that it’s bound to go up faster than most everything else. […]

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now a mere 566.06 away from where it was nearly 8 years ago when Bill Clinton left office (when it was at 10,887.36). Lest people forget, it climbed more than 7,500 points during his tenure which included time with both Democrat and Republican-controlled Congress’. People, once again, please tell […]

Once again our glorious leader has managed to say something that just wasn’t the best way to present it. In an attempt to sell Congress on various measures he knows they object to regarding oil prices he stated, “There is no excuse for delay. I know the Democratic leaders have opposed some of these polices […]

Back in the 80’s and early 90’s sound cards were pretty limited and that resulted in a brief period where something known as “Piano Roll Notation” enjoyed a bit of a resurgence. Piano Roll Notation comes from the old concept of a player piano that played songs by reading a roll of material that had […]

For some time now I’ve wanted to try out a fairly new board game called, 1960: The Making of the President. Something about it sounded like my kind of game. I got a chance to play it Wednesday night and was so taken with it that I did something I rarely do and played the […]

Okay, I just bought a new laptop. A bit of background. I previously had an Alienware Area-51 laptop that my previous employer bought for me. Since I’m in the games business it had to have that “I’m one of you” cachet value. The catch here was that the thing weighs like 20 pounds, burns your […]

I’ve had it. This is getting insane now. For some time I’ve taken issue with websites that place demands on my passwords and think they’re doing me some favor by enforcing these. The only thing they’re doing is forcing me to have dozens of different passwords that I can’t recall. My Yahoo account has a […]

I am left to wonder, now that the Democratic side of things is finally winding down, if Barack Obama can choose another running mate other than Hillary Clinton and still manage to win the race in November. Note that as of right now I’m undecided between Obama and John McCain with a lean towards McCain. […]

We’ve been informed by a number of sources, including Vice President Dick Cheney, that no one has given up more in this war on terrorism than our own President George W. Bush. The poor guy has had to sacrifice so much because of this on-going war. The latest casualty in this battle for him is […]

Going back some time I’ve been curious about the sudden influx of high-ranking retired military brass showing up on news channels to give us their “unique” insight into the war and other military matters. At first I assumed it was a typical domino effect. It could have started with a single network and then the […]
