So I’m walking to my car the other day just minding my own business. I’m listening to my headphones and happen to glance down and catch my shadow and it stops me dead in my tracks. My geek radar is going berserk and I just have to snap a pic.
Vader or Neo... You Be The Judge
Being the dork that I am two characters came to mind… Darth Vader and Neo. Not sure which I’d prefer but either way it’d be damn cool. It’s stuff like this that keeps me from really doing something with my life
- Once a child learns that they can get out of their crib, they will do so… 3,427 times a night.
- Buying a new lock for said child’s door that locks them IN the room doesn’t make you a bad dad… it helps you get some sleep.
- Getting the child to buy into removing the crib is relatively simple… show him what a big boy he is and tell him how proud you are of him for growing up (measuring him and the crib to show him how he’s “too big” is awfully helpful too).
- The first night in the “big… Continue reading

Pip and I get together every year (just about) and celebrate our geekdom by watching the “Grandaddy of them all” – WrestleMania. For those of you that don’t know, this is the WWE’s flagship show and marks the end of the wrestling “season” if there was such a thing. It’s the culmination of story lines that have been going on for quite a while and it’s always the event that is seen by most households. A few years ago we started a new tradition… The Beeramid. In order to create said structure we create a yearly drinking game to… Continue reading
The first time I saw this film I thought it was just about the best comic book movie that had ever been made. After re-watching it it’s still pretty damn good but there are definitely some things that I’d overlooked the first time… some bad things.
This installment picks up pretty much right where Spider-Man left us. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is back at it stopping bad guys left and right. This is however taking an enormous toll on his personal life. He’s missing class, late for work, pissing off friends and has essentially no money. Harry Osborn (James Franco)… Continue reading
It’s March which means it’s time for college basketball to really kick into gear. Unfortunately, that also means that it’s time for my ears to be filled with a bunch of screaming and yelling by “Dickie V” a.k.a. Dick Vitale. He’s got a reputation of being this basketball genius. Every single year he’s up for induction into the basketball hall of fame and every year he’s denied entry. That should tell us something people.
He screams about his “Diaper Dandy’s” which are supposed to be younger players that are great. However when he’s pontificating about how great these youngsters are… Continue reading
And They Say Downtown Cleveland Is Dead…
As I sat in my office watching the crowds on St. Patrick’s Day I learned a couple of things. In addition to those things, I was really just glad to see PEOPLE downtown again. I tell you, when the Cavs or Indians aren’t in town, there simply isn’t anyone down here anymore. It’s sad, but it was damn awesome to see that Cleveland can still be a thriving city. I’m hoping that the nice weather brought some people out winter hibernation and they’ll be back for good. Time will tell. Here are a couple of pics from that day.… Continue reading →
