Just found this today: http://widowhoodsux.wordpress.com/ Without going into specifics, some of which are obvious, I totally agree with the sentiment. I’ve already sent the blog’s editor three statements and I’m sure I’ll come up with more. For those of you engaged or in a marriage, always know widowhood is a nightmare I wish on no …

Be Careful With Obituaries
When I rolled out of bed this morning, one of my internet friends messaged me and asked if I’d heard anything about the passing of Ronnie James Dio, a well-known heavy metal artist. I scanned a few websites and responded I couldn’t find anything official. I’d later learn there were false reports of his passing …
Reverting To “The Civilian Apprentice”
It was recently reported that The Apprentice will go back to its original version with a number of job applicants competing to win a job within Donald Trump’s organization. As you’re probably aware, this and the previous two seasons have been all-celebrity versions. While lots of money has been raised for great causes and there …
Humbling Anniversaries
Over the recent weekend, Rock 104 celebrated its 15th anniversary. Concurrently, it was also my 14th year of association with the station. Looking back at it all, all I can say is — “WOW!” Over the last 14 years, I’ve met and worked with some amazing people, been to amazing places and, of course, have …
My Two Cents on Tiger
I’ve seen and heard Tiger Woods’ mea culpa in full three times now. These few sentences from today’s statement he issued have raised my eyebrows (and probably my blood pressure). “I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I …
Starting To Feel Like A Monkey’s Uncle
In February of ’09, I was at a Super Bowl party at a local restaurant. A waitress was wearing Saints gear — and I specifically told her, “Darling, it’s going to be a cold day in Ecuador before they win a Super Bowl.” Well, they’re 120 minutes away from the Lombardi trophy. Fast forward to …
Remembering Remote Control and Ken Ober
(The following is cross-posted from DougMorris.net with additional personal notes.) For better or for worse — and many in the here and now would argue the latter — the game show Remote Control helped blaze the trial for non-music video programming on MTV.
What The (censored) Were They Thinking?
A disturbing story that hit home crossed the wires today. Kings Island amusement park, located just outside Cincinnati, had an early Halloween exhibit featuring “skeletons” of celebrities who’ve died within the last few months — including Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. But wait, it gets worse. The exhibit also had the likeness of a deceased …
Thumb’s Up To The SWAC
Like any other Southern Miss fan, I’m counting down to kickoff. But at the same time, I’m sure there will be heavy hearts on the other side of the ball come Saturday. The Eagles’ first opponent: Alcorn State — alma mater of the late Steve McNair. Word came today the powers-that-be in the Southwestern Athletic …
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
The following is borderline NSFW.
