Anger - The Only Emotion
Everyone who has ever driven anywhere or even ridden somewhere knows how much of a pain in the ass it is. The act of driving itself can actually be quite enjoyable and relaxing. Road trips can be fantastic with friends or even alone. Listen to some music. Perhaps do some thinking. See a lot of [...]
MCS: Equal Opportunity Mediocrity
First off, it’s time to write “A Global Look†and I’ve only recently pounded out a column anyway. However, I also wrote something for my own blog yesterday and have an American political topic I want to write about today. You can see the predicament I’m in though? I’m unemployed! It [...]
Condoms Should Come With Earplugs, For Her Pleasure
Men. Who raises them and why? I ask, because I really can’t get over some of the things I’ve heard come out of their shameless little mouths over the course of my life thus far. Generally, I am a very difficult person to piss off; most of the time, a profound effort has to be [...]
Ellie’s Corner: Married!
I woke up at 7:30 the morning of June 9th and in the blink of an eye I was married. I was someone’s wife – two and half weeks later I still find myself catching my breath when someone calls me by my new married name. It happened…the wedding happened…yet I still can’t believe that [...]
A Weekend in the Midwest
I spent the weekend in St. Louis with my friend, Jersey. Two days is just enough time to see the Arch from all different parts of the city; to go to the Loop; to eat Ted Drewes Frozen Custard (mini concrete with hot fudge and caramel = sheer unallergic joy); to be driven all over [...]

Click to View Comic
It is eerie that just last night, I was talking to Tracy and her mother over a lovely dinner about the fact that everyone needs to be special today. I would love to say the meal was “comped,†but the Bay Terrace Applebee’s has no idea what an “Inside Pulse†[...]
News Analysis: This is Not a Wrestling Story
Unfortunately, it doesn’t just feel like three lifetimes ago when the Texas crowd chanted “We Want Benoit” during the ECW Championship match between C.M. Punk and Johnny Nitro at this past Sunday’s Vengeance Pay-Per-View … it WAS three lifetimes ago.
As everyone now knows, it has been reported that over the weekend Chris Benoit – one [...]
MCS: Pork Barreling American Democracy
I text messaged my best friend early Monday evening. He was at a baseball game, watching my Giants beat his Padres. We had watched Friday Night Smackdown earlier that weekend (Friday maybe?) and he’d marked out for a commercial hyping Chris Benoit’s Vengeance match. Neither of us really watches wrestling anymore, but [...]
A Global Look: Hamas
It took a little longer than I’d hoped it would to get this Hamas bit typed up. I actually had to ::sigh:: read a book I’d purchased in 2006 after Hamas saw its first political victory. I also had to adjust from a life of studying and books to a life of… well [...]
F%&^@#$ Starbucks
Since my return to New York on Monday evening, the things that I have been craving most from my time in Italy are very long walks and espresso in any form, both multiple times per day.
Getting in the walks is easy, though not as pretty, but the espresso is the challenging part.
Because my mother insisted [...]
