| Why I am Always Right | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| May 2, 2002 - Ok, so I just spent a half hour and typing this column...then I accidently deleted it. Not good times, bad times. Very bad times. Thursday is random thoughts day, so here we go: Why do plaid skirts fascinate guys so much? I don't know and I don't particularly care...Kiley's wearing one right now, so excuse any future typos. I know I'm probably alone here, but I think U2 is incredibly overrated. Bono does great humanitarian work, but their latest album almost seemed to be parodying their earlier stuff...yet it won Grammys because it lacked contoversy. I don't think they suck, I just think they are incredibly overhyped. 3 other things that don't live up to the hype: A Beautiful Mind, Jay Z, US "war" on terrorism. I know the Osbournes are incredibly hyped, but I can't get enough of them. Jack, Kelly, Sharon, and Ozzy...I'd watch them 2 hours a day. 3 other things that live up to the hype: The Strokes, In the Bedroom, Six Feet Under. I love Swingers, but isn't it amazing that Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau haven't done anything worthwhile since? At least the director made Go. Speaking of Swingers, do you play the mind game where you assign which part each of your friends would have played? That and American Pie are my two favorite movies to do that with, With a little tweaking, it always manages to work Went to the Astros game on Wednesday...no "God Bless America", no moment of silence. FINALLY!! It was poignant last year, now it always seems to ring hollow. Keep the pomp and circumstance before the game. "Don't let your girlfriend get her hands on this book...it contains to many of your secrets." - Details Magazine review of Nick Hornby's book High Fidelity. I don't know about your secrets, but it certainly hits mine. Sadly, I am the character Rob Fleming. Though I'm not John Cusack's movie version. Mavericks vs. Kings has the potential to be the most entertaining playoff series in recent memory. Don't miss a game. Is there anything more uncomfortable than someone standing at the urinal next to you in an empty restroom? to the archive |
