The God’s of Rock: AC/DC

10.31.2008 Music

I have been on an AC/DC kick for a while… I think I might be a tad partial to Bon Scott however Brian Johnson has had his hits too. I think I like the old school in your face guitar of the older AC/DC. Hell Angus plays a Gibson… he must be a rock god [...]

Horrible Parenting

10.30.2008 About Me

I have long preached and griped about horrible parenting… but in all honesty I am the horrible parent. Hi! My name is… and I am a horrible parent. I’m impatient. I’m irritable and short tempered, I yell, I swear and often times too irreverent. I sometimes spank but rarely. I don’t share well with others [...]

The Pussification of America

10.22.2008 My Rants

I believe that America has become a nation of pusses.  We are soft. We demand everything to be warm and fuzzy.  Everything has a happy ending.  This maybe the title of my book on the subject of whats wrong with America.  In the meantime here is a video clip supporting my argument.

Are We Repeating the Mistakes of Our Past?

10.21.2008 My Rants

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana Do you ever feel its Déjà vu all over again?  I certainly do… I feel it’s a return to the election year of 1976. The Republicans have made a mess out of things in 2008 with the war in Iraq and high [...]

Being a BYU fan is a lot like being a Chicago Cubs fan… It just brings heart ache. Tonight BYU season ended prematurely like a thorough bred breaking its leg in the first race of the triple crown. BYU Football was having a wonderful season all the way up until October when something happened, a [...]

McCain has recently suggested that the Federal Government should “Buy Back American Home Loans with $300,000,000,000 in Tax Money” McCain would like the US Treasury to become a Mortgage institution with just a few strokes of his pen.  I find this [...]

Facebook: A useful Tool or An Acceptable Way To CyberStalk

10.08.2008 Internet

I must admit I might be addicted to facebook.  It’s a silly way to keep track of friends, past friends and relatives etc. It also is filled with useless games and constant interaction… From a web 2.0 perspective its pure genius and I guess thats why the founder is now a billionaire or number 785 [...]
