This is my place to vent, to pontificate, to educate, to defame, to expound, and yes, to wax rhapsodic. It's my personal brand of logic applied to the world, and it works for me.
Potential. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about it. About realizing your potential, and building from your potential, and attaining goals based on how much potential you have for a certain talent or skill. One would imagine that when and if you discovered your potential for something, you would then decide to build from your [...]
I’m sure there’s an obvious joke about The Rock and a Mountain that I’m missing. So, today I took my eight-year-old to see The Race to Witch Mountain, and I will say I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, I’ve been seeing horrible reviews for this movie all over the place, despite my abhorrence of reviews [...]
So, the new procedural ‘Lie to Me‘ has officially had three episodes aired, which I think is long enough to allow me to comment on it. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show about an agency that specializes in lie detecting. Yeah, I know. I wondered if this was a lucrative business as well. [...]

Angry rant time! Everyone ready? Great! Today, I realized through a series of conversations over the last month, that the whackos have stolen some phrases and are misusing them hard. Since when did we allow the crazies to decide what words mean? I submit, for your consideration, two opposing terms: open-minded, and closed-minded. They seem, [...]
I know I've already done several rants about reality TV; specifically "Survivor", that behemoth of the genre. However, after watching two weeks worth of "American Idol" (damn writer's strike), I figured I would have to point out one of my major fascinations with this program, which ties in the concepts of logic and pop culture, [...]
