Best of 2010
I’m bored and procrastinating doing things I’m supposed to be doing today. Every magazine has Best Of lists for 2010. I want to do one too. Because my opinions matter more than whoever writes for those stupid magazines.
[By the way, my mom told me over the holidays that she doesn’t like O Magazine, because it’s too much about Oprah. I asked her if she also...
3 Things (12/28/10)
#1 I got back to LA after 10 days and realized I needed to do some cleanup of my DVR.
When the news networks were covering the December 14th Florida school board shooter, Clay Duke, and how he had psychological problems, I think that they failed to pick up on the most glaring sign: V for Vendetta is not even that good of a movie.
You’d have to be crazy to think so.
#2 In 2010,...
Jeff Bagwell and the Hall of Fame
On January 5th, Major League Baseball is announcing its 2011 inductees (if any) into the Hall of Fame. I got a message on Facebook from my friend Jay, which just said, “Bagwell a HOFer? First ballott?” I want to go through most of these guys before the 5th, but I’ll do Jeff Bagwell first since I was asked.
Bagwell was the best player on the Astros from 1991 (when he won the...
3 Things (12/26/10)
I pay attention to the news now. Here are three stories that I want to comment on.

What’s weird is that I read that book Collapse by Jared Diamond (How Societies Choose to Fail or...
3 Things (12/23/10)
One of my New Years resolutions is to pay better attention to the news. Sounds simple enough, but I haven’t been doing it recently because I kind of dislike being furious. But I’m going to give it another shot. Here are three recent news items that I read in the past few days.
#1. The Vatican had to clarify the Pope’s stance on condoms because conservative Catholics feared that people...
2010 Wasn't So Shitty Afterall
I did one of these lists last year, and part of me feels disgusting for doing it, but it’s always a good opportunity to make myself reflect on good things that happened in the past year. What do you want me to do, look back at 2010 and dwell on things like Chilean miners, BP, Haiti, the Arizona immigration law, Icelandic volcanos, not getting a public option, Conan getting screwed, Tiger...
Patrick Melton Took Some Photos Of Me
I did some promo shots for Gentlemen Scumbags and Nobody Likes Onions today. And here are some solo shots from the thing.
