  • Water bottle cap comparison
    So, why is it that a half-pint bottle of Zephyrhills water has a bigger cap than the pint-size bottle? To me, there is no logical explanation. Looks like a waste of plastic, if you ask me. Take a look at the photos and you be the judge. Water bottle cap comparison is a post from: [...]Water bottle cap comparison is a post from: Updates Copyright 2010 Tony Va […]

  • The "Walk Away" House Abandonment Myth
    I had a talk today with a friend who abandoned a rental property last year after he lost a renter and was unable to find a replacement. Here is what I learned from the conversation: he just got a 1099-A from the bank. This is good, right? […]

Random Comments: AVP Requiem

I love it when I have zero expectations and end up pleasantly surprised by a movie. To me, this is the secret to enjoying … well, life. The directors definitely paid homage to Alien and Aliens, which was cool. Unfortunately, due to the familiarity with Aliens and Predators, along with the Director’s quick pacing, there [Continue]

Random Comments: Fool’s Gold

Guys — if you HAVE to watch a “date movie” to satisfy your significant other, this is the one to rent. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. It was not what I was expecting. The movie mocks rappers and rich heiresses. Humorous-yet-intense action sequences. Kate Hudson is started to remind me of her mother in this movie. [Continue]

Random Comments: The Day the Earth Stood Still

I’ve decided to take a break from politics. What — you want me to rip Sarah Palin’s wardrobe or John McCain’s make-up, the way the Daily News did? Yeah, right. There’s no need — Obama’s got this thing in the bag. You may think I’m wrong … I guess we’ll find out the truth on [Continue]

Skew Review: Untraceable

Last week, we rented Untraceable, a murder/mystery/thriller starring Diane Lane. Without getting into spoilers, it shows a special unit of the FBI that tracks down pedophiles, identity thieves, and any other online crimes. I thought the movie did a good job of capturing the dark side of the internet. While I’m sure some of the [Continue]

  • Rev Laws
    TRS training was INCREDIBLE. I’ve never been more thoroughly trained in my life. Seriously — Neptune Atlantis University, where I graduated, didn’t have this level of detail in their PDF’s or holo courses. My mind was CRAMMED, ever so effectively, with TRS procedures, history of TRS, how TRS helps UCM’s mission, acronyms, acronyms for acronyms, and […]

    NAACP-Black Panther-Tea Party double standard: Zane: “It’s amazing how the NAACP is going after the Tea Party movement, but they won’t go after the New Black Panther Movement for standing outside of polling stations and intimidating voters, calling white kids ‘Cracker babies.’” *** Zane: “Okay, boys and girls.

  • So why is Harry Potter addictive?
    Yeah, so my wife keeps wanting to tell me about the book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (she read it) while I just want to be surprised by the movie (I haven’t read it). After a few times of this, I decided to ruin the movie-going experience and just read it. After slogging through 300+ […]
