Bloggers only seem to hit the big time when someone really hates them. Perez Hilton is a kind of mini superstar now, all because Roseanne Barr wants him dead. All the stars hate the paparazzi, but love to see their pictures in the papers.The world is full of haters, why can’t we all just get along?Perez Hilton is a celebrity blogger and self-proclaimed Queen of All Media. Rosanne Barr is a has-been comedian from the 80s whose claim to fame is putting white trash on national TV and getting bleeding rich from it. Perez said some things that Rosanne didn’t…
Scarlett Johansson Looks Like a Boy?
Last year Scarlett Johansson won the dubious honor of having the best breasts in Hollywood by a poll in In Touch magazine. Now on the cover of Parade Magazine she says that she thinks she looks like a boy.I’m one of the men that has always though Angelina Jolie took to the top spot for Looks Most Like A Man, followed up pretty closely by Hilary Swank. Hollywood only really likes Hilary when she is pretending to be a man, kind of weird that.Scarlett Johansson starred in The Prestige, the best movie ever made on magic and the use of…
Social Networks and The Unsocial Blogger
I find it kind of amusing that the solitary, occasionally lonely business of blogging has become obsessed with the concept of Social Networks. We are alone, and yet, we are not alone. It’s that whole Zen thing, if you blog and no one reads, have you blogged at all?In the past few months I have been using a number of sites that have those little buttons at the bottom of so many blog posts. I have been working on that whole SEO thing and working on my keywords and page rank. This has all been a surprising amount of fun.…
Blogday 2007 Technorati Plays Tag
Bloggers love to play tag. They write some little meme and then wait for people to stop by and they ask the visitor do the same thing. This is often something like, write the top sentence from the page 124 of the closest book to you.Technorati is one of the many ways that bloggers keep score, mine is pretty low as Technorati judges by links pointing at your blog and I just don’t have that many. Still, I have not been tagged in a while, so Technorati got me.The idea is to find Five Blogs That Are New To You,…
Speed Racer-The Wachowski Brothers Way
The Wachowski Brothers are following in the footsteps of everyone else in Hollywood and doing a remake. Speed Racer is set for release in May of 2008 and is rumored to have the kind of eye popping effects that made The Matrix movies cost so much. The Wachowski Brothers movie The Matrix is my Best Movie Ever and I hope they will have a story to go with the gee whiz effects. But it is Speed Racer we are talking about here-Speed enters race, Speed is forced out by bad guys, Speed returns to race and wins. Yeah! For those…
Under God added to Texas Pledge. . .Texas Pledge?
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. That’s the standard Pledge of Allegiance that you likely recited in school everyday in an attempt to brain wash you into liking America. Well, I like America just fine, though I am not sure that this little bit of propaganda did the trick for me. I went to school in Texas for the whole twelve long and dreadful years it took to reach graduation. Not once in those twelve…
A Slight Trick of The Mind by Mitch Cullin
The Sherlock Holmes we met in A Slight Trick of The Mind is a 93 year man that walks with two canes and seems to be losing what is left of his once great mind. It is a sad tale that is soaked with nostalgia for the days gone by when Holmes could solve a crime just by looking at the mud on a shoe’s heel or listening to the twang of an accent. Holnes still cares for bees and still roams around the world. He visits the site of the Hiroshima Nuclear Attack and marvels at the steel skeleton…
Charter a Private Jet, I Know You Want To
In my ongoing quest to map out the life I will live once I win the lotto, I started to think about the wonderful world of chartered jet aircraft. Nothing specific, as I know next to nothing about jets or aircraft in general. But I have watched a lot of TV shows where people sit around small, fast aircraft and see the world. I wonder what the poor people are doing tonight? Not chartering a private jet, that’s for sure. The rich and famous are known for renting private jets as they zip around the world. And with high limit…
Richard Jewell Hero, Villian, Hero, Dead
Richard Jewell was the rent-a-cop that found a bomb at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996 and was later accused of putting it there in the first place. He was then cleared and given a commendation for saving lives. He sued many of the news organizations that reported he was a villain and won settlements from NBC and CNN. Richard Jewell remained in Law Enforcement and was a Sheriff’s Deputy at the time of his death. He was 44 years old. The Richard Jewell story is why everyone waited until Micheal Vick admitted he was a dog torturing, dog murdering,…
Queen of Mean Leona Helmsley Leaves Dog 12 Million
Billionaire Bitch Leona Helmsley’s Will followed the general sweetheart pattern of her life by cutting out two grandchildren and leaving her dog twelve million dollars. This must be good news to all the PETA people protesting the evil acts of Micheal Vick. Here is an evil person that likes animals. Though I would have no trouble seeing Leona Helmsley wearing a coat made out of Dalmatian Fur.The bulk of Leona Helmsley’s her $4-billion-dollars goes to a charitable trust. Two grandchildren were left $5 million each, as long as they visit their father’s grave at least once a week. Two other…
