Cynics Corner: She’s Always Right

I’m quick to blame myself for just about anything.  In fact, I’m near certain I had something to do with the JFK assassination.  But because of this, I’m an incredible boyfriend because she is always right.

Bobby Brooks: Spring Fever in Full Effect

I watch in awesome wonder
As winter’s on the wing
And our God in loving kindness
Sends the season we call “spring.”

~ Kay Hoffman

Spring is my favorite time of year.  It always falls about two and a half months after New Year’s Day – that day when I felt so good about my life, my hopes and my expectations for the coming year.  That two and a half months is usually just enough time to help me realize that I better get “back on the horse” and begin to focus on my goals again.  For the year is passing swiftly and summer is just around the corner.

Cynics Corner: A Very Special St. Patrick’s Day Essay from David Himmel

St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago might as well be renamed, “Public Sex is OK When the River is Green Day.”  Or, more simply, “PSOWRGD.”  Some people find the bedroom the ideal place for romance, but as we learn in the following essay, that’s not always true.

Making Out in Bars
Making out.  It’s one of the most fun and useful ways to spend time.  There’s an art to doing it well.  And there’s a foul kind of honor when it’s done with strangers at a bar.  This sort of activity results in high fives from your buddies and scoffs of disgust from your gal pals.  A make out session in a bar is a result of two things;  passion and drunkenness.  They often work together but there are times when the lip service is simply a result of the hooch spanking your libido.  Here are stories about both.

IN THEORY: Bobby Brooks ~ Chicago Tough

Chicago is one tough city.  There is a certain sternness about its people.  We are friendly, even helpful, but don’t ever take our kindness for weakness.  My Grandfather used to call it being “friendly but not familiar”.  Be friendly but don’t tell details of your life to strangers.  Be friendly but protect yourself at all times.

Cynics Corner: Idiot

Chris Brown is an idiot.  You never hit a woman.

It’s much better to leave emotional bruises.  That’s something both of you can do as a couple.

WED LIVE! Should you jump rope?

Google is a clever little company.  One day, I’m sure it’ll be a big player on the world wide web.  It does great, fun things with its logo for various holidays and events and I regularly enjoy its work.  But today is not one of those days.  There’s a big problem with Google’s Valentine’s Day video.
