Dating A Banker Anonymous

 

 

A blog dedicated to women who are dating a very specific kind of banker...the rich ones. You always think that this 'type of woman' doesn't really exist, but man...even in 'e-format' there is something unnerving about these women.

The World's Best Passenger Complaint

I don't think I've read anything like it. The whole time I'm thinking to myself, "Yeah...this guys gotta be British!"

Milk: Review [took me long enough...]

http://www.cinema.ucla.edu/festival/fp10/presimages/HarveyMilk.gif

It took me long enough didn't it? About 2 weeks removed from watching this movie there were about 2 'other' reviews typed, but fell prey to my 'edit-friendly' fingers. What you should know:

  • I will be criticizing this movie under the pretense that you, the reader, already know that this movie is above average [its amazing].
  • Seeing as I have already written two 'over a 1000 word' reviews, this will be a more condensed version that gets to the essentials of content and quality in this movie.

Obama Is President: So What Happen's Next?

I Think He Realizes How Awesome His Jacket Is

With about 20 minutes of reflection today [it's been a busy week] I guess it wouldn't be TO out of character to make a little brog about the recent happenings in Ohio and to a larger extent, America.

Mighty4 Detroit < Russell Bazaar

This weekend I was supposed to document the bboy event: Mighty 4: Detroit. For better or worse I'll try and keep from saying to much about the event seeing as I left early because it was so dirty and dusty my lungs and camera were at risk of suffering some sort of short-term and/or long-term damage.

Various Bootlegs & MixtapesWhat I will talk about, is how great the Russell Bazaar is and how my little Columbus, OH should make strides of having a flea market/bazaar of this caliber.

In regards to Mighty 4: Detroit, I have to show a little bit of leniancy for Detroit [but not that much]. I'd be happy if Detroit had another bboy jam and more than willing to go to ANY jam in Detroit that isn't DEMF [Detroit Electronic Music Festival]. I know how difficult it is to get a venue to do something like this and to have it guaranteed and locked down. But to not tell dancers/customers that the venue you have is old/abandoned/filthy and possibly hazardous to children...big fail.

Mighty 4 had a great turnout [i think] especially seeing as how few jams Detroit throws on this level. The music was on, thanks to DJ Franco De Leon and DJ Lil Lean. I really hope Paulskee of Mighty4 and Detroit continue to throw jams like this just in a better spot.

Now...let's get to the grand photos of the Russell Bazaar...

BlizzCon 08 : Yet Another Cosplay Explosion

One Of Us, One Of Us...one of us...one of us....

Who is responsible for this? What has happen to a society of so many technological advancements and philosphers only to get a sub-culture who spends more time and effort on playing an expensive game of dress up at conventions [be it cosplay, sci-fi and gaming]. I'll tell you what you get, you get some of the best costumes of people who stay in the basements of their collective mom/husband/wives/best friends' house.

Jack Thompson Disbarred : 15 Minutes Of E-Fame Hopefully Over?

Well At Least He Now Has Time On His Hands To Finish The Darn Game

I'm not the kind of person to kick a person when they are down. I am the kind of person to laugh at a person when they are down.  Let's be honest...when someone falls in the street, initially you are concerned.  You want the person to be okay and you may even go the extra mile of extending a helping hand. Once they have their faculties about them, you are able to laugh about the then frightening occurrence.

Jack Thompson has had his fair share of slip ups and miscues [which just so happen to be captured on video and in this very brog]. He has been a strong proponent for the banning of most of the most popular video games with the ESRB rating of 'M'. He has issued ultimatums to gaming sites and the journalists of the more popular enthusiast outlets.  He has blamed the deaths of children in households and college campuses on games like Halo 3 and the Grand Theft Auto series, all the while representing the families of the victims of very real atrocities.

The fact that Thompson was disbarred in Florida over a litany of issues does not give me joy or feeling of accomplishment.  I'm actually quite worried if this is the last we will hear from our passionate politician. He could technically pass the bar of the 49 other U.S. states if AND ONLY IF, he has a friend-lawyer who could vouch for his conduct in the courtroom.

I May...Or May Not Be On WOSU NPR Today

My View Of All Things NPR

I was being interviewed by a young lady while at work today about the credit crisis and how it is existing as a student and/or worker bee. It is probably on as I type this...so if you're missing it like I am go here.
