Good news everyone! It isn’t too early to start planning your costume for Halloween 2013! Now, some of you may think this is absurd. Perhaps you prioritize things such as a “job” or a “family” over planning a one-night outfit nine months in advance. However, the greatest plague our society faces is procrastination and it’s … Continue reading »

Beefing Up with the Kardashians
Yes, I realize that only a few short days ago I made a resolution to avoid speaking about all things related to the West-Kardashian baby. Perpetuating the unnecessary cultural obsession over a fetus belonging to a halfway decent rapper and a halfway plastic human being just isn’t in my 2013 itinerary. However, my newest idea … Continue reading »
Kanye, Kim, and a New Year’s Resolution
My resolution for 2013 is to finally upgrade to HDTV……. No one? Fine. The thing is, I’m not usually a resolution-making person. I’ve always sort of thought they were for the weak, just like hugs and empathy. This year, however, I’m giving ‘em a shot. I mean, what’s the worst that can happen? Oh, look, … Continue reading »
Girl Meets World: A Christmas List
I am an unabashed Boy Meets World fan. By unabashed, I mean I will furiously debate people (and their descendents. I’ll haunt bloodlines!) who dislike the show. If that seems a tad overzealous, that’s because it is. I would say my knowledge and depth of that show rivals what P. Bateman knows about Genesis. That … Continue reading »
Christmas Decorating: Dangerous and Deadly
Ahhhhh, Christmas lights. Let me tell you, there’s definitely a feeling a magic and wonder induced by walking down a street and basking in the lit-up glory of first-world privilege. Nothing quite says “holiday cheer” like rampant energy consumption. Nothing! Do I hate Christmas lights and decorations? No. However, do I have numerous pet peeves … Continue reading »
Christmas Music: Bah Humbug and Good Riddance!
Since I’m not a sissy (and because I don’t work with Mandrakes), I don’t own a pair of earmuffs. If I did, however, I’d likely find them incredibly handy during this time of the year. Every December I am forced to undergo what is tantamount to sonic torture simply because someone, somewhere, decided Christmas* music … Continue reading »
Men’s Fashion: A Guide by an Expert*
*Okay, I don’t know the first thing about fashion. I know what I personally like to wear, but that’s about as far as my fashion knowledge extends. The clothing choices of other guys, especially those choices dictated by things like GQ (which I’ve always pronounced “Gick”), almost always perplex me. Since I’m someone who dislikes … Continue reading »
College Football’s Remaining Storylines
Seasonal Affective Disorder, in my humble opinion, is bullshit. At the very least, it’s not a specific enough term. We all know the real reason people during this time of year seem like they’re participating in an unspoken-yet-ubiquitous Droopy Dog imitation contest is because the college football regular season is coming to an end. And … Continue reading »
The Foolish Names of NBA Teams
Growing up with a height that the doctors scientifically labeled “freakish and abnormal,” I was strong-armed into playing basketball. Being far from athletically gifted (or even marginally coordinated), my career wasn’t exactly replete with highlights. Yet even though my playing years have come and gone, and because the low self-esteem I suffered from due to … Continue reading »
Golf versus Soccer: A Debate Worth Having
As the American legend Hank Hill once said, “Soccer was invented by European ladies to keep them busy while their husbands did the cooking.” Now, I’m not sure if those exact words are historically accurate, but, since they can’t be disproven, I’m going to assume they’re true. No matter your appreciation of passing or your … Continue reading »
