Because it’s an election year, Congress has lately taken up the hotbutton issue of immigration, specifically so-called “illegal” immigration from Mexico. Many politicos have offered their advice as to how to solve the “problems” of illegal immigrants coming into America across “our” borders. From my numerous quotation marks you can tell my skepticism […]
I seldom set out to write a blog post without having a predetermined point I wish to make. And even when I end up in a ball of confusion, I usually had some sort of set idea that I started with. I wonder why that is. Perhaps I am scared of writing […]
Yesterday, Anthony and I got all dressied up (not a typo) and headed over to the Kohl Center for a good old fashioned job fair. Representing companies from all over, but mostly investment and insurance companies, we strolled once around and then started again, this time talking to different companies. I first talked […]
I got up early today to go and purchase a parking pass for the month of April. $65 out of my pocket and into the hands of the greedy Transportation Services office. But I got a pass for the lot a block away from my apartment, as opposed to parking way out by […]
Wow, as it turns out, many of you faithful readers (well, two) have turned my remarks about Scientology into very CONTROVERSIAL remarks about Scientology. Just when I think everyone has abandoned this rant-forum, someone goes and proves that what I say really does make people upset. Thanks Tony, for getting the comment stream […]
Scientology is the buzz word of the day, after Tom Cruise stupidly professed his love for it (and Katie Holmes) and after Isaac Hayes left ‘South Park’ apparently in a rift over the show’s mocking of his religion. But in the end, we really don’t know all that much about this faith, except that […]
I’m in a library right now, and this is truly home for me. Well, I’m actually in the Atrium of the Law Building, but it’s close enough to a library as it represents a place where I have come to study. It feels so good for Spring Break to finally be over and […]
Oh my goodness, what a little baby of a whiner has Annie Proulx turned out to be! For those of you who aren’t familar with that name, what the hell is wrong with you? No! I mean, she’s the author of the shortstory ‘Brokeback Mountain’ was based on. And now she’s […]

I guess when I was coming home and thinking about not being able to write in my blog (as usual), I thought I would be filling the time writing about mundane things to later post. Instead, I realize that I have written nothing these 5 days of being […]
No one better say I haven’t figured out how to take an exam. I have three exams in the last week, and I literally murdered them all, with minimal studying. Now, minimal for me, of course, means that I didn’t feel entirely exhausted after 5-6 days of straight studying. It meant I […]
An upset has occured at the Oscars! Oh the drama! ‘Crash,’ the most deserving film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, actually won the award, ahead of apparent favorite ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ I was very excited and surprised when I saw this; honestly, I thought for a moment that Jack Nicholson, […]
I’m in a bit of an interesting position. On the one hand, I am scared out of my skull to graduate from college - not so much because I will be entering the mysterious “real world” where I have never been before, but more because, as of right now, I have no idea what […]
For those of you following your technology news lately, you have probably run across some stories regarding the mystery project that Microsoft is developing. Kept in secrecy and heavily rumored and hyped, much like Apple’s iPod prior to its release, many people have made guesses as to what this device might be. And […]
