I love American Football! It is by far my favorite sport to the point where I can watch almost any match-up and enjoy it. Like any addict who has been in withdrawal, I decided to g…

I hated this movie. My wife and I went to see it in the theater this afternoon. If I had been watching at home, half way through I would have left to go play video games, exercise,…

At this point, I think I actually like it more when I hate a movie or TV show. That way I get to prove I have some credibility and standards and don't just love everything. ![](h…

I'm going to start this by being brutally honest. In the interest of full disclosure, I absolutely despise Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. I find him a slimy, irritating, blowhard who t…

If you are looking for a fun, lighthearted diversion from the seriousness of life, this movie is not it. Instead, it is a dark and surprisingly deep action movie with great charact…

Before I start, let me stress that I am not a doctor, scientist or social worker. I am a high school teacher and parent. I have read a lot but I am by no means an expert. Instead, …

I have written about Dropout.tv a few times. Usually it is about a show my daughter and I love to watch together. I go on and on about how funny and clever it is. Sometimes I menti…

The end of the summer is here and it got me reminiscing. Or maybe it was the commercial I just saw of people fishing. Either way, I started thinking about when I was a kid. ![](h…

I'm guessing most of you have never heard of this 1981 song by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty, but today I can't get it out of my head. I was about to write about an awesome restaurant…

As a teacher, many would think I would dread the opening of the school year. But I don't. I actually love it. Although it means that summer is over and I have to take a shower befo…

I have been a fan f the Alien franchise ever since I saw the Alien toy in the Sears Wish Book way back in 1979. I was only about 8 years old then so, luckily for me, I had not even…

As I have said many times before, I am a child of the 70s. This makes me a teen of the 80s. And one of my favorite things from the 1980s was riding my bike to the local video store…
