Oscar Video Reviews

by Administrator 26. February 2011 05:41
Update: Oscar- The Morning After I think the academy did as can be expected with an exceptionally weak film year. I think "King's Speech" was the best major release this year and I agree, and was, in fact, able to call virtually all the winners but two. But boy, when the academy... [More]

2010 the year of suck

by Administrator 21. December 2010 06:47
I, for one, won't be sad to see these 12 months get the hell out of here.  If you had a worse year than me and are still standing, or even lying face down in a pool of urine- Mazel Tova! It's not easy being me. So what made this year so awful? I mean, compared to... [More]

Reaction to being Fired- Part II

by Administrator 19. January 2010 16:37
So, assuming you read the first article, now we’ll get down to the WHY. In America, (I might add it is most definitely not like this in other industrialized countries) virtually all of the power in an employee/employer lies with the employer. Case in point: Forty-hour work week. Gone. ... [More]

Reaction to being Fired

by Administrator 18. January 2010 06:49
Read Part Two here I got canned at my job a few weeks ago. I’ve never been fired before .The bastards did it to me at the beginning of the holidays. I can get a job in any environment. But no one hires around the holidays. That meant, I knew from the onset, I would be out of work for... [More]

In Chains in America

by Administrator 11. February 2009 04:56
It's 2009. And it's time to speak the truth plainly. We, in theUnited States of America have been lied to. His name is Horatio Alger. "Work hard, get ahead" means kill yourself working so that someone else can gain. There's a telling scene in MIchael Moore's "S... [More]

Revolutionary Road and Life in 2009 America

by Administrator 26. January 2009 04:51
Anyone who's seen "Revolutionary Road" probably feels a little shook up. You can read about it in the Movie Review section if you haven't.  There's a line in the movie which I'll paraphrase, "In Paris they really live life- not like here". It's ab... [More]

Ten celebs who should be picking up my garbage - My New Year's list.

by Administrator 26. December 2008 05:13
Okay, here's the disclaimer. Unless we personally know a celebrity, we don't know a thing about what that person is really like. What we, the general public know, is the image that celebrity puts forth. Celebrities know this. They invest millions in style consultants, publicists, managers ... [More]
