Data Whore: Why I Splurged on a 64GB iPhone 4S

Frustrated to near tears the other night I rang Verizon Wireless and asked if I could upgrade three weeks early. The nice southern belle on the phone got manager approval to do so and recommended, after I asked about size, the 16GB iPhone. I was thinking even if it wasn’t big enough, I’d have a lot [...]

The Death of Marriage

This post was taken from my prior personal site, originally posted in August 2008. What about modern society says that the union of marriage is a successful one? Uma Thurman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sienna Miller, Silda Spitzer, Michelle Paterson, Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Tea Leoni, Hillary Clinton–all these women had their husbands or fiances cheat [...]

Why We Love Showtime

What Showtime does is to glamorize the failures of contemporary commoners skirting the edge of normalcy. Nurse Jackie has a soul but serves her own kind of justice while she works doubles in a NYC hospital, fueled off an affair and a little nose candy. Californication chronicles the love and mistakes of those individuals that [...]

For Women, Does Weight Loss Trump Romance?

Food or sex? Most of us would like both but according to a recent study from Atkins, many women think about food more than sex. The diet company conducted a survey of 1,290 women in the United Kingdom and 54% responded saying they think about food more than they think about sex. Additionally, 37% of [...]

Generation Me & The Happiness Syndrome

I used to be afraid I was part of the throwaway generation for with every move some China-made home product found a new home on the curb. We are a generation with no Bob Dylan, no Pete Seeger, no Simon & Garfunkel. Instead we have Coldplay, poptarts and Bono,  the latter of which who has [...]

An Energy Drink Fit For Fighters, Workaholics

It’s entirely unlike me to promote an energy drink with more unpronounceable ingredients than I care to mention, but desperate times led me to the official drink of UFC. I suppose it isn’t so surprising given that at one time I watched and enjoyed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Bodog, despite my disdain for any [...]

Tiny Watch Productions For President

There is a god and he started tinywatchproductions. If you haven’t seen any of these videos, you are missing out on a real laugh. My cousin first sent me the iPhone video. Then I added them to my YouTube favorites. Now I’m a total junkie. From explaining “the Quantitative Easing” while slamming “the Goldman Sachs,” to making fun of Steve [...]

Tilda Does Beauty: A Look at an Indie Celeb Scent

There are few celebrity fragrances that are not trendy, flashy, or playful. While those are all fine auras, most celebrity scents seem predictable and fleeting. The first is a labor of love, but the rest seem hasty follow-ups, the beauty world’s counterpart to a great article rendered old, simply because of the spirit of the [...]

Apple: A Giant Underdog?

It seems no matter how big Apple grows, it always maintains underdog status. The U.S. government’s supposed antitrust investigations (WSJ) are insanely arbitrary and their regulation of food, media and technology equally random. In recent months, anyone that reads a major metropolitan newspaper would have learned that GMO alfalfa is OK, but Apple taking a hefty [...]

The V Day Mix Tape

I believe Valentine’s Day is a holiday created to benefit companies selling greeting cards, flowers and candy. And yet I am a softie at heart. Or maybe I’m looking for any chance to create a new YouTube playlist. So here’s a blend of old and new, about romance and lust, love and hope. If you’re going through [...]
