maxlance1 I really wish I could play basketball, but it seems like the only options for games are the six-foot-tall monsters who just missed the draft, or the Asian foreign exchange students who couldn’t get into the badminton game. Essentially there is no middle class in pickup basketball games. And it’s really frustrating, because that’s exactly [...]

No Comments » January 25th, 2010 maxlance1 Jersey Shore had its season finale last week with the genuine bombshell leading to Sammi and Ronnie breaking up (I’m not sure which was the guy and the girl). Italian-American defamation leagues did their usual protesting and boycotting of MTV, arguing that the show promotes negative stereotypes of Italian heritage. The protesters then threatened to [...]

There’s no question that these books are important and educational, which is the exact message I wanted to convey to people seeing me reading these books on [...]

Avatar invented an entire race, with its own language, culture and [...]

This list is correct and irrefutable, unless you like overrated movies, like District 9 and Paranormal Activity, in which case you’d like to be popular, which probably wouldn’t land you here. Here we go… Just missed the cut: [...]
