Reaping What We’ve Sown
You know, I’ve gotten to the point with the politics where I start to get nauseous anytime I hear a politician speak. The ineptitude of the Democrats makes me dry heave, and the pure and unadulterated corruption of the Republicans makes bile drizzle out of my nose. As a writer (yes, I consider myself one) […]

Take Back The Web
Today Mozilla released Firefox 2, the best damn web browser on the internets. They guarantee that it won’t clog up the tubes, and it can download your own personal internet in less than a day. Woo-hoo! If you’re still using Internet Explorer you should really consider switching over to Firefox. It’s far safer, and its […]

Caution: Immature Content And Naughty Words Will Follow
Before one of my classes began today, I asked the few students that had already wandered into the classroom how they felt about revising their most recent paper. It was due today, and most of them answered wearily that the process went okay. They have been working on the paper for over a week, so […]
Gay? or Manly? You Be The Judge
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it ironic that many of the so-called “manly” activities are extremely homoerotic? I was just reading this blog article about Kevin Federline’s recent appearance on WWE, and the blogger noted that professional wrestling is only slightly less homoerotic than two gay men having sex. I have […]
