APRIL GLOWERS BRING MAY SHOWERS

Here are some recent musings...

GOODYEAR “PROUD” TO BRING YOU AERIAL COVERAGE OF EVENTS HAPPENING INSIDE NONDESCRIPT ARENA IN WAREHOUSE DISTRICT

Like many, I have been watching the NCAA tournament a lot over the past few weeks. What amazes me is how often CBS will cut to a shot from the Goodyear blimp.

"THAT MOVIE WAS REALLY GOOD," RECOMMENDS MAN HOLDING COPY OF VAN WILDER 2

I was in Target yesterday running errands. For some reason, I decided to buy Van Wilder 2, a movie I had jokingly considered seeing during its brief stint in theaters.

Well he [decided] to get cigs at inner city oil. He made a phone call while we in the store. When got to the Gas station he had a guy waiting on him. The guy approached my car and tried to grab the groceries and the guy i met at the bar let him lean over him and punch me in the face and at the same he stabbed me. My arm missed guided the knife that would of entered my heart. It sliced my forearm and penetrated just a little to the left of my center chest bone (which save me) a fountain of blood was gushing out of my arm and chest…
