Paul McCartney Rocks SunLife Stadium

It was twenty years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. Okay, that's totally inaccurate but it remains a fine way to begin a Beatles related post. The concert began with a pre-concert meal at the Hard Rock Casino, but since I was a bit early I decided to donate some money to [...]

How to Train Your Dragon

I wasn't going to see this film. I thought the previews looked silly and the title made it seem uninteresting. The film needs a better name. The reviews were pretty good so ultimately, I decided I'd go see it. The Higgi, Mom, Timmy and went along with me. And with the aid of a shitload [...]

Clapton In Review

I guess I'll make my official first CONTENT post on the new blog and begin with a review of the Eric Clapton concert 11 March 2010 at Bank Atlantic Center. This is my first Clapton concert, but it likely won't be my last. His opening act was Roger Daltry. Roger said he was the "supporting [...]

The Big-Ass Concert Post To End All Concert Posts

Mom had mentioned that my cousin Ken could rattle off every concert he ever went to. I'm just not that good with my memory in some things. However, I do save my ticket stubs and so I was able to compile this list. Venue names are the name of the venue as printed on the [...]

Gypsies In The Palace: Jimmy Buffett Concert Review

I saw the 2010 Summerzcool Tour final date at BankAtlantic center last night (27 Feb) with Evan, Brenda, Greg, Gaby, Mom, and Karen.
We started at Renegade for and early dinner. We were there at 515, Karen followed two minutes later, John and Liz right after that. Evan and Brenda brought up the rear. I've only [...]

Monster The Book Review. People From Texas.

I like my pharmacist. I went to pick up my refill last night at Walgreens. He wrote me a note with a little happy face on it. I smiled. When was the last time your pharmacist made you smile? Yay Vinay!
Everyone has a friend who's gone off the deep end over the wrong sports team. [...]

Eleventh Grade Burns: The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod (Book IV)

A bit about foreign policies before my regular post. I read The Economist magazine (along with Time, Newsweek, Aviation Week, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly among others) because I like to read and to be informed about various topics. This one just intrigued me. In India a local non-governmental organisation has invented a new [...]

Kiss Alive 35 Concert Review, Nucor (Brief), and Announcements

Disc versus Disk. I covered this in my blog well over a year ago (see here) and now none other than Apple Computer has weighed in on the same subject. They pretty much mirror my explanation with one notable exception. Nice to know they agree with me.
I want to plug this post called 121 [...]

Where The Wild Things Are: Spoiler Free Review

So, I finally went to bed around 630 or so this morning (see post from earlier today) and was up around 830am. Today was Karen day. We went to Einstein Bagels for breakfast and got what we deserved: shit on a plastic tray. We knew what to expect, we went anyway, we deserved it.
First up [...]

The Way Of Shadows (Book One, Review) by Brent Weeks

As I said, I was reading a book Evan recommended to me. I've finished volume one which weighs in at a hefty 670 pages of pretty small type. I had to use reading glasses and that made me feel old. I never read something Evan recommended before, so this was a bit of a risk. [...]
