Throw in a wormhole or two, and I'm game. Throw in a cute, tall nerdy guy, wormholes AND portals, and I'm a die-hard follower. Such is the reason why I love-d Sliders, until season 3. What's Sliders? you may ask. Well, it's a geeky 90s show about a group of oddballs that were dragged along in a portal journey to parallel worlds.  Are you still there? Hold on to your drool.. it gets better. They land in worlds almost identical to theirs. Same people, different decisions. In some worlds, Russia won the World War. In others, modern medicine never advanced. Its a fun show about what-ifs if certain outcomes to world-altering decisions had been opposite to what went down in our world. Quinn Mallory is the lead actor, and lead nerd, whom accidentally created this portal in his basement and drags along his proffessor of alternate reality, his co-worker and secret crush Wade, and a random man who was driving in the area- Rembrandt. Now keep in mind sci-fi usually ...

You'd think clip after clip on America's Funniest Videos of idiots jumping on huge trampolines would be enough to discourage anyone to just quit altogether. Nothing good ever comes out of it.  The best part is when someone attempts to jump near sharp objects, sheds, fences, or while riding a bike.  But, idiots are a dime a hundred these days, and trampolines illustrate just how far human ingenuity has come. Check out what makes this near 1,000,000 hit video on Youtube a Trampo Fail. Like for reals dude. No two sports should be tried in combination on the world's deadliest spring machine!! And I think its time you re-evaluated your friends.  Enjoy! 

N ot quite sure whether this is a rant, or something insightful. Maybe its a little of both, therefore it will be dubbed, Rantsightful! Anyhow.. I was flipping through channels on a regular bored basis one evening, and got swallowed in by the most riveting and nauseauting of ways. It's TLC's show called, "Strange Addictions." If you've never watched it, I'm debating whether you should or should/not. Its depressing, and in another light, kind of comforting to know that you're not one of them (or are you?) but then again, that kind of makes me feel bad about myself.. if that makes any sense. Irregardless, (YES, i know it's the wrong spelling, but I like the way it sounds ;) it was quite fascinating to see people go on TV and make public embarrassments of themselves by broadcasting front and center what their very strange addictions are. For example, last week featured a fruit cake looking guy who lived with a life size doll for ten years and treated ...

W hat would life be without wonderful idioms? How many times have you sauteed and flavored your colloquial speech (and or offended someone) by using them?  For example.. the ever popular, NO OFFENSE .  Like really, you may as well save your breath, because every time someone uses no offense, its always going to be something quite insulting. For Example : No offense , Mark, but your girlfriend is a floozy.  Or  No one likes your taste in clothes, no offense .. Ridiculous. Its like trying to be frank but apologizing for it, and in the end, you still look like a donkey's butt.  It's almost like " Don't take it personal! " but in reality, you are saying it because you want the person to change their persona .. therefore making it wholly personal.  Growing up, one of the popular idioms were, "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words never will!" What a load of barnacles in disguise. The reality is words can strike deeper than ...
