Rant: Videos on the CNN YouTube Democratic Debate
Jul 23rd
What crackhead was in charge of the cameras at this debate?
It doesn't make sense to run a video that has a message which is conveyed visually rather than audibly and not immediately be zoomed in on it. Even more ridiculous was when they showed us on… more »
Déjà Vu
Jul 23rd
7.5/10
Pretty good movie in the vein of Philip K. Dick.
It's not really about Déjà Vu, it's more about time travel. It explores the effect of time travel on crime solving and it does it pretty well. more »
Transformers
Jul 23rd
6/10
I was disappointed with this film. There were just so many things that could have been better.
What was wrong with it? Let me count the ways:
Optimus Prime was weak. One-on-One, Megatron would defeat Prime hands down.
Optimus P… more »
The Eyes Have Hills

I have never recieved spam from DirecTV
Jul 13th
I get spam from Dish Network all the time.
Also, I used to get junk mail from Dish Network on an annoyingly consistent basis. I got so sick of it that I decided to call them and tell them to stop. They said I would have to file some sort of form with… more »
I got contacts yesterday.
Jul 11th
So far, it's not going very well. I have to blink a lot and things are blurry most of the time.
I'm hoping that the blurriness is from my eyes watering because of foreign objects being in there. I'm also hoping that goes away as my eyes get used to t… more »

Traveling By Train
Jul 5th
I always thought traveling by train was supposed to be faster and cheaper than driving.
It would take 7.5 hours and $47 to take a train from Cleveland to Chicago. Of course, train fares are variable, just like plane fares. This is the lowest price I… more »
