Our justice system is one of our country’s most defining achievements, but should we be happy with its current state?

If you read yesterday’s article, I talked about superstition and how it fits into sports and also our everyday lives. I mentioned how stupidstition, as I like to call it, is usually just a metaphor for failure.

Now that you are all adequately caught up on my affinity for sports, I’ve decided to give you some more reading entertainment regarding sporting activities. As you can see from today’s title, it’s stupid superstition. Superstition in sports, no way right! Even the least informed sports watcher or aficionado knows all about the superstitions when […]

I’m not sure if you all know, but I have always been a sports fan. I enjoy most sports because I enjoy the heat of competition. Over the years of my life, I have spent countless hours playing basketball, baseball, softball, and bowling just to name a few of the activities. Sports used to be […]

Yes, I know it’s been a couple of days since the last article. No, I haven’t run out of topics to write about. I can’t ever imagine not actually forming an opinion on current topics. In the end, all of my articles are facts of my opinion. Did you catch that? Of course in my […]

Today’s article basically comes from a conversation I was having yesterday about the current generation of less than 20 year olds. Today’s word is a descriptive term I have invented for this particular subject matter. The word is a combination of Peer and Idiocy. We all know what a peer is right? We also know […]

Since the economy has been playing for the spotlight the last few months, I figured I would chime in with a few cents worth of opinion.

Time for a movie review! I just had the “pleasure” of watching a movie called “Balls of Fury.” It’s a movie, and I’m using that loosely here, about ping pong. Table tennis for the pros out there…. Let me just get right to the point, how and why did this movie go from thought, to […]
