The Dirty Dozen Prophecies…….An Update
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. Back on November 5, 2009 I posted a dozen predictions/prophecies about the next 14 months in the world. Because things have been just as wacko in the last 6 weeks as it ever is, I thought it would be fun to see how many I have come close to in just these 6 […]
Video games and aggression
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…………. Don’t let the title of this one deceive you. It’s not a deep-rooted psychological examination of the correlation of video games and aggression. Hell, it hurt my head just to type those words. I’m not bright enough to pull off something like that. It’s just that I witnessed something yesterday that […]
Memorable Christmas Presents…..Pt. 2
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. As I recollected some of the amusing and cool gifts I have gotten thru the years for Christmas last week, I actually had to cut it short. The post was getting a little long and I still had some thoughtful and memorable gifts to remember. But that’s the nice thing about […]
Cool Christmas gifts from my childhood
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. I was talking with a friend of mine recently, and we were remembering some of the more thoughtful and cool gifts that we have either given or received thru the years. Both of us lamented the fact that unfortunately most people don’t put a hell of a lot of thought into […]
Like the news….keeping you up-to-date (but the truth)
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. We were waiting for a decent snowstorm to start landing today and into tomorrow to the tune of 5-9 inches. My area would have only gotten about 5 inches. But up near Rockford and that northern area, they were predicting as much as 9 inches. Right up until last night I […]
Power = infidelity more often than not
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. So the media kept digging and clawing their way into Tiger Woods personal life until they got what they apparently wanted—-his marriage and reputation in shambles. As I said the other day, I’m not a big Tiger Woods fan. But I felt the cops should be on his ass a little more regarding […]
Another enjoyable Thanksgiving
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…….. Before I get into yesterday’s relaxing (and delicious) holiday, I just have one last warning to offer you NOT TO MISS the show tomorrow night for the Dick Ourada Band. The show starts at 9pm up at the bar in the Rolling Lanes bowling alley on Joliet Road in Countryside. They […]
It’s a big party night & a big fundraiser night too
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. Tomorrow night, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is now widely acknowledged as perhaps the most popular night of the year for people to go out. I first heard this in the early ’90s when I was a regular on the bar/party scene. I didn’t hear it so much when I first starting going […]
Memories of Thanksgiving
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……….. So Thanksgiving is just a few days away now. I haven’t really mentioned it much, but I like Thanksgiving as much as the next guy. Hanging out with the family, a huge meal, football all day. Having the day off work if you still have a job these days. The whole nine […]
