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 […]
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 […]
Just to keep you updated on things……
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya………. Figured it’s been a couple of weeks since I took a look back at some of the posts/events in the news and brought us all up to speed. The Blackhawks, the best sports team in Chicago {See 10/1/09 post: Puck drops at 11AM } as I proclaimed them just before the […]
Pretty please….stop trying to rip me off
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… I feel a little rant coming on. My really close friends would laugh at that because they’ve probably already heard the tirade. I often use my friends as the sounding board to gather and organize my ideas. Then I try and express them decently in this forum. My roommate and I laugh […]
A more pathetic display I’ve never seen…….
Dude, I’m tellin ya…………. First off, I want to send my deepest condolences out to the family of one of my very best friends. They lost a close member of their family this past weekend and obviously are in serious mourning. My thoughts are with all of you guys and I’m so sorry for your […]
The Dick Ourada Band ready to rock out again
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……… I’m moving a little slow this morning after having gone to the Blackhawks game last night. The team is looking freakin’ good. Every time I watch a game these days, it seems like the other team doesn’t even put twenty shots on goal. Our defensive effort has been pretty good despite […]
Updates: Survivor, Hawks, Bears ………
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya…………. Let’s see here…where to begin? I’ve been unexpectedly out of town for the weekend and a lot happened since I left on Friday after the Blackhawks game. But we’ll start with Survivor from this past Thursday night. The guy I was initially defending during the prior week’s show and shortly afterward, bearded Ben, ended […]
Puck drops at 11AM on Friday 10/2/09 !
Dude, I’m tellin ya…………. I know exactly where I will be tomorrow, Friday 10/2/09, at 11AM. I’ll be at that favorite wings bar I’ve touted here previously when they open at 11:00 to watch the Blackhawks season opener live from Finland. If anyone wants to join me, that’s Time Out West sports bar in Hanover […]
A Couple of Updates and Random Thoughts
Dude, I’m tellin ya………….. I thought I’d go back and address a couple of points or predictions I made recently and see how they came out. Maybe offer up a couple of new random thoughts or observations as well. In my first-ever blog on this site, I ranted about the special treatment that celebs get—-particularly […]
The celebrity bennies never end
Dude, I’m tellin’ ya……. It’s not enough that all these celebrities that get shoved down our throat every day get paid all the money that we are oh-so aware of. We all know a Julia Roberts or a Brad Pitt or a Jim Carrey get $20 million a movie. Or that Derek Jeter or Alex […]
