I’ve [...]

Why is City of God nominated for Best Director, Cinematography, Film Editing, Adapted Screenplay, but not Best Foreign film? Furthermore, why is it not nominated for Best Picture? See this movie and you will know exactly what I’m talking about. Why are neither The Matrix Reloaded or The Matrix Revolutions nominated for a single visual [...]

On January 15th, we officially passed the one year anniversary of the birth of my live journal (the conception of my live journal was sometime in April 2003, in case you are scoring at home, though the details of that event and the personnel involved will not be discussed at this time).

Americans went to the polls this week and voted to reinstate Dusty’s Live Journal. Right after the voting began, Dusty was so overwhelmed with appreciation that he quickly returned to his old form and posted several groundbreaking entries. Let me tell you, Dustin’s January 21st entry really took me on a journey of personal discovery. [...]

I come to you this morning with a matter of great importance. Dustin C., who you might remember from the golfball-sized kidney stone he passed recently or from his shameful association with his sister Jen C., has announced in his journal that he will no longer be writing entries. The journal entry in question went [...]

A Fantasy Come True

For the first time in five years of competition, I have finally won a Fantasy Football league. Pejman and Roger made quite a run in the last few weeks, but, when it counted, my team overcame their charge. I had a simple yet effective strategy: draft the best running back, quarterback, and wide receiver in [...]

John’s Arizona Cardinals 2003-2004 Recap: It was another painful football season for Arizona Cardinals fans (Marty, Pejman, Richard, Brian/Josh, and myself, in case anyone is keeping track). Things got off to a bad start against Detroit, got only slightly better against Cincinnati, and then it was all down hill after that. This year was pretty [...]

It is a new year (2004, if you are out of the loop), and so it is time for a new cell phone. My decision was a tough one, and after days of intense soul-searching in a secluded village in the Brazilian rainforest, I’ve decided that it is best for everyone if I part with [...]
