I saw an average looking woman driving a Porsche the other day.  The Porsche was incredible, but the woman driving it remained average.

If the situation was reversed, and I were a woman looking at a man driving a Porsche, the car would remain incredible, but the man driving it might also become better looking. Continue Reading »

All television shows make you some sort of promise.  With the first season of Californication, Showtime promised us a show about a struggling writer who beds many women and generally leads an intemperate life all in an effort to escape his true heart, which is with Karen, the mother of his daughter.

As I wrote in Californication: Showtime’s Raison d’etre, this was one hell of a first season, and the only reason that you need to get a subscription to Showtime. Continue Reading »

It’s Funkilicious Fridays, that day when the stoplight changes from red to green.  You’ll social life has been on stop.

Now it’s time to GO!

To start the day, grab a cup of coffee, feel it going down warm, and imagine yourself somewhere, somewhere different than where you are, somewhere relaxing, somewhere where dreams come true… Continue Reading »

I really hope that my wife does not read this!  But, as I see my friends getting divorced, they seem so happy.  They have their kids, their guy friends, lots of girlfriends, and the sympathy of the world.  After the initial pain of the divorce, they invariably say:  “This divorce thing is great.  I wish I had thought of it sooner.” Continue Reading »

Last Sunday, I watched the U.S.A. win the Ryder Cup, a victory spearheaded by an unlikely individual named Boo Weekley, a victory that made all who watched proud of our Americans, and our America.  We saw all of the characteristics that made our country great:  tenacity, teamwork, honesty, competitiveness, friendship, and fun, lots of fun.  I felt great.

Later that same night, I watched 60 minutes which featured an interview with John McCain.  This depressed me.  Continue Reading »

As I watched John McCain and Barack Obama on 60 minutes last night, I realized what my new commander-in-chief is going to command me to do most often:  “Look!” Continue Reading »

How To Use Photoshop to Make Yourself Look Like a Model

I attended a wedding a few weeks ago but I forgot my camera.  My friend Sarah said that she would send me all of the photos from her camera after she “touched herself up.”

“Touch yourself up?” I asked. 

“Oh,” she responded, “I never upload pictures before I make myself look better.” Continue Reading »

There are three things that are legal (well, one is semi-legal) in Uruguay that you may not be able to do at home:  Gambling, Prostitution, and Drugs.  With such vice-availability, I began to call Uruguay The Amsterdam of South America. 

Gambling in Uruguay

Back in the good ole’ USA, I have been to Las Vegas a time or two, or three, or more, but who’s counting.   And so, as I was reading up on Uruguay before I visited, I had read that casinos are legal in Uruguay. 

I’ll have to be mindful of this one, I thought.  I am going to South America to experience the culture, the people, the history…not another casino.  However, like any good investigative journalist, I had to take one for the team just to report back to you, the reader.  Continue Reading »

When I heard the news a few weeks ago about the untimely death of LeRoi Moore, it shocked and saddened me.  LeRoi is a founding member of The Dave Matthews Band.  I did not know him personally but, personally, he has given me so much joy.

Really, what more can one accomplish in life?  LeRoi and the DMB Band have given this joy to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people.  It is fair to say that the people in the picture above, all enjoying the Dave Matthews and Friends cruise, would never have had that moment were not for LeRoi Moore, founding member of the Dave Matthews band.
