My Thoughts on Multiplayer Gaming
I don’t like the multiplayer part of most video games and I don’t think I ever will. I never liked having to wait while the other player took their turn back in the arcade days and I don’t like not being able to log into a server in order to play a game these days.

Someone obviously doesn’t know me at all
I got into a brief internet dustup with someone about something. The original Facebook post was about 47 millions people going hungry in America, but one of my friend’s friends responded with a barely coherent comment that can be distilled to “I have a job, quit complaining and go out and get yours.

Update to the Movies Have Never Seen List
When I made my list about the ten movies I have never seen, I completely forgot about The Dark Knight Returns. I might have forgotten because while I think Nolan’s Memento is one of the best movies ever made, the rest of his filmography leaves me unimpressed.

Meme Challenge: Movies I Have Never Seen
My good friend Keith Cunningham was challenged by his good friend Christian Kocinski to list ten movies he has never seen but should, “a mix of cultural touchstones and historically significant films. Stuff I need to see to be a part of the conversation.” I decided to get in on the fun and list MY…

MI State Rep Tim Bledsoe’s Protest of RTW
While the Michigan Legislature was kneecapping the unions in the state with their “Right To Work” law, State Rep Tim Bledsoe made a statement to protest the passage of the bill. Tim Bledsoe represents the 1st District in Michigan, which contains some of the richest people in the state, and isn’t someone I would have…
