When will I grow up and stop playing Video Games?


Its a very good question. But the question should be "Why should I stop?????" Throughout my entire life, video games have been present in my house. I have had all of the following systems: Pong, Breakout, Odyssey, Intellivision, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega, Sega Genesis, Sega Genesis 2, Playstation, Playstation 2, X-Box, X-Box 360. (No, we never did get an Atari.) And I hope to get the WII next. Its just that video games are getting so much better, richer, more deep and complex. I know for many women out there, this is the kind of talk you want your 35 year old husband to be saying about YOU, not a stupid video game. Will women ever "get into" video games? RockBand, Guitar Hero and WII seem to have sparked an interest. So the world we live in.... and with the recent birth of my boy, I can look forward to another 20+ years of excuse-free video game playing..... HAHA!!!!!!............SUCKERS!

Prison Break Seasons 1-2 (DVD) = Female Soft Porn

Prison Break Seasons 1 & 2 are really good. There are many " O My God!" moments, but you just have to accept the fact that this a TV show, not reality. My Mother bought us season 1 and told us we should watch it since we really liked Friday Night Lights (which she bought for us as well). It seems my Mom and wife want to "cougar it up" with a certain young male character on the show. OK... fine. But then my Mom brings over Prison Break 1 and tells my wife that she is going to love the guys in this even more. Whats going on here??? Is my Mom a female smut peddler?? Is this how women trade and disseminate soft porn? This is very interesting stuff...... I'm starting to get the picture now. Season 3 comes out on DVD in August some time and I'm sure, well I know, my Mom and wife will be going up to Blockbuster to rent it.

Best Pizza in Broward = Angelo's Corner


Is it because it's right on the beach? Is it because it's right near the racquetball courts, new parking garage and water fountain park? Is it because the sauce, cheese, crispy dough and perfect crust complete the ultimate trilogy of pizzadom? Yes, Yes and YES! Angelo's Corner IS the best pizza in Broward, hands down. I've been eating there my entire life and nothing gets me more stoked than going down to Garfield Street and having a coupla slices and an ice cold beer. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is much improved, and it's one of the reasons that makes me enjoy living in South Florida. Runner up easily goes to Umberto's in Pembroke Pines on University Dr.

Is it really the News?


I'll be the first to admit it, I am a total news junkie. For my local news, I am an ABC Channel 10 person, despite the fact its not in HD. For National news it's NBC and MSNBC. A benefit of watching so much news is you become well acquainted with all the "News Hotties". Locally, my current "Number One with a Bullet" is Jacey Birch from Channel 10. The most underrated in my opinion, who should be getting a lot more attention is Pam Giganti from NBC 6. Shannon Hori from CBS 4 gets some props as well. As for the national scene, its probably a tie between Norah O'Donnell and Natalie Morales, both of the NBC Universe. Kirian Chetry of CNN gets you with the bubbly cute factor. CNBCs Maria Bartiromo and Erin Burnett will tell you if your 403b plan is making you any money. As for the Hated Fox Network, all hope is not lost. Megyn Kelly and Julie Banderas make you forget about all the hypocrites that work there.

You want a beer with that mista....?


Unlike most folk who tend to pair up their beer with food, I tend to pair mine up with literature. Whenever I drink a Dixie beer, I am thrown into the world of New Orleans and A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, one of my favorite books of all time(#2). ( The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe is #1). Dixie beer is a crawfish drinking beer, informal and tasty. I also recommend everyone reading A Confederacy of Dunces before the dunces make a movie out of it. Brad Pitt has long been rumored to want to make this movie, and Will Ferrell will be playing the part of Ignatius. Sounds absolutely horrible. My advice is to leave it be, nothing can ever be as great as this book is.

Duvel


A lot of beer experts rate this beer very high. I don't know what to think. Is it a beer snob thing? Lets hope not. Beer should always be for the people. I bought the glass plus 4 Duvels at Total Wine for $16. The Paul rating on this beer for right now is a B. It's a taste that is very different than other beers.
