So, I spent last weekend chasing after my kids at the Jersey shore. I had clearance from the wife to go to Borgata on Saturday night, but dare I say I didn't have the energy. My gambling activities for the weekend all took place at the boardwalk arcade. Surprisingly, I have incorporated aspects of game theory into playing these arcade games. I ( Read more... )

The Republicans closed their convention with Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." To me this is one of the gayest (not that there's anything wrong with that) songs of my generation, and I hate everything that Journey and every other cheesey and untalented 80's band and whatever they stand for. I hated this song as the closer to "The Sopranos," and ( Read more... )

I think it's going to be a close race. I think obama will win, but it could be yet another stunning upset by the republicans. I am going with mccain, he is talking issues and solutions, while obama is talking rhetoric.

"John McCain owns seven houses."

Wow, he's come a long way from the Hanoi Hilton!

Memorial Day is a day in which we honor those who have served our country. It is more frequently associated with days off, sun, and barbecues, but we should all take time to stop and think of what is the true meaning of Memorial Day. When I think of a movie like Saving Private Ryan, it reminds me of the many people who paid the ultimate ( Read more... )

I got to get it together. I need to start doing some work around my house, it really blows, but such is life. I need to ramp up my poker game, but with two small kids, that is hard to do. I want to develop some game shows, this is a dream of mine, and now I want to take that dream to the next level. It's a weird dream, but I plan on cutting ( Read more... )

This is sad.

I wasted just one hour of my life last night watching the presidential democratic party debate between clinton and obama. I think i'm voting for mccain now. That was terrible. Thankfully, I'm not alone in my criticism of this debate, although most people are just blaming abc news and not the candidates. What shocked me was how much obama ( Read more... )

The geeks at google are at it again. They can't fool me this time, though. Actually, they didn't fool me the last time, either, but at least that prank was funny. This one, I either don't get the joke or I find it incredibly unfunny. Conclusion? Sell goog.http://

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I just hope it's not an oncoming train. I have been really busy with work, and home, and have not had time to do some things I really want to do. Such is life. You get married, have kids, both spouses work, and life gets crazy ( Read more... )

I don't know if Dick Cheney is the devil, but I have a feeling his comments from an ABC news last night are going to get a lot of publicity this week. I don't have time to link anything, but, like I said, it should make news. Basically, he said he doesn't care that 2/3 of all Americans would like to end the war. But you have to see it to believe ( Read more... )
