I love em and I hate em.  That’s right.
I think a lot of high school and college squads feature tremendous athletes who are quite skilled. 
With that said, I don’t quite understand why Jr. High and High School girls are trusted to toss each other around like giant, but vulnerable to head injury footballs.  Simple mounts [...]

Martha Stockton Alderson, author of Blockbuster Plots: Pure and Simple has been kind enough to answer some questions regarding her book and her writing life. She is an award winning author who offers her services to novices, other published writers, and children from all walks of life. Read her extensive bio [...]

Well, Boogie won Big Bro 7 but I think its clear America thinks Janelle should have…she was just a little too naive.
Even though I disliked Erica, I thought Will and Mike’s catch phrase of “Bros before hos,” and Boogie calling her a whore several times was disgusting even in the realm of slimy reality television.

Horrible and frightening.  That day was.
I shudder to think of it, what it means to the families and friends of specific victims.  And I hate that violence exists in so many different ways. 
I really wish it would all just go away.  Childish to think to think that way, but I do. 
I’m sorry to everyone suffering [...]

Finally a jilted bride worth reading about.
When her cheating fiance caused nipped the wedding in the nearly flowering bud, she decided to turn the event into an opportunity to raise money for charity.

In honor of the survey that suggests American workers waste 7.5 hours of their 8 hour day stop by and see the shark eat his lunch. 

Pittsburgh’s Mayor, Bob O’Connor and the Crocodile Hunter.
I’m sad O’Connor died.  He finally achieved his dream of being Mayor (lost two??? elections first–I think) and eight months later dies.  It’s good that he succeeded and he had no idea he’d be dead soon, when he won the election, but God.  That seems unfair.  But at [...]

I’m referring to Paris Hilton’s need to pose the exact same way every time a camera is within thirty miles of her.  I wonder if she walks down the street, notices someone drawing a camera from their bag and stops dead to strike her pose.  It’s never any different.  Time to spice it up, sister.  [...]

I’m watching About Last Night and I have to say, that flick stands the test of time.  There are some cheesy moments in it, like when Rob Lowe sets the table and then admires his work as though he invented the concept of setting a table.  But there are some of the best lines ever [...]
