The arrival of autumn brings both the mating season and hunting season of several animals.  Its a Darwinian tug of war, as one species attempts to increase its population while another tries to lower it.  During the rut, deer-the main attraction for most hunters- are much more active and less cautious since they are all hopped up on hormones, with a Propagate-Or-Bust attitude.&nbsp

Sunday morning has become my self imposed ( yet loosely followed) deadline to post my blogs.  I had every intention of posting one this Sunday morning, and oh boy, it would have been a dandy.  In the days leading up to Sunday, I had a revelation, an epiphany.  In my head popped - no, burst - no, exploded, the most amazing idea I've ever had.  While I was short on time to

October has come and gone, and with it a myriad of Halloween themed programming. Halloween falling on the last day of the month is an ideal situation for TV stations, as shows and movies progress in quality as the fateful day nears,  I will admit, I've never been interested in watching horror movies, but I do find it to be an interesting genre.  You have the types where

No friends, this is not a movie critique blog.  Although I will say Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is without a doubt the best Thanksgiving movie ever, and in my opinion, John Candy's opus.  This week's random topic is on transportation, with the name sake of one movie being classified by the namesake of another. The Good- Trains.  Since I've never really ridden on a train,

Reality TV has had its fair share of scandals over the years.  While misdeeds by the cast of characters on shows like American Idol and  Jersey Shore tend to grab the headlines, the Investigative Journalism team at My-Randomalities has uncovered a particular injustice on America's Funniest Videos. It was Sunday, October 14, 2012.  The third place winner,

Tomorrow, Monday October 8, 2012, is Columbus Day.  Personally, I haven't cared about Columbus Day since 1994, the last time I had the day off from school.  Now I only celebrate the holiday by walking out to the mailbox at least 5 times, cursing my lazy son of bitch mailman before I realize what day it is.  But Columbus, and the significance of the holiday came up

I’ve never considered myself a conspiracy theorist, but if you’ve read my nursery rhyme blog, you will remember that I believe Humpty Dumpty falling was no mere accident. It turns out I have become privy to Humpty Dumpty’s “suicide” note. I used quotes because I still believe there was foul play, and will continue to believe so until I see some concrete forensic evidence that proves me wrong.

You ever see those commercials for the company BASF?  They don't have a store and you can't buy anything from them.  But they proudly declare, "At BASF, we don't make a lot of the products you buy.  We make a lot of the products you buy better."   The positive feedback on my ideas to fix yellow lights, and thus making driving everywhere safer, as well as my solution

Election season is upon us once again. For some voters, their choice was made months ago.  I however do not subscribe to the ideologies of either the Republican or Democratic parties enough where they simply have my vote.  After all, I've always been a staunch supporter of the Whig Party (they may not have won an election in 164 years, but you don't hear people bitching about

The Center for Disease Control reported this week that thousands of people are at risk of contracting the deadly hantavirus after visiting Yosemite National Park this summer.  This mouse-borne virus is rare, but deadly.  So far it has claimed two lives, with so many more people having been exposed to the virus, that number will likely rise.

Its important whats on the inside.  How many times has a reassuring parent used that line to pep up the spirit of a down trodden child?  Unfortunately, it seems leaders of terrorist organizations are using the same quote as they plan new attacks despite increased security. In 2009, an al-Qaeda bomber inserted 1 pound of explosives and a detonator in his rectum, bypassed security,

Recently I was on my way walking into work when I saw a large group of people assembled across the street, obviously trumpeting there cause.  Once I realized they were postal workers, and not the next great suicide cult or anything like that, I went over to investigate.  As has been reported recently in the news, the United States Post Office has fallen on hard times, and there is a

I recently saw a commercial for a new reality series entitled “Same Name”. The premise of the show is regular everyday people with the same name as “celebrities” (quotes are used because the people on these show often barely qualify as a celebrity. You haven’t seen Tom Hanks do one of these shows have you?), swap lives. The premiere episode has common man David Hasselhoff trading places with

This 4th of July, I ran my 2nd 5K race.  I should mention that despite always being active, I am a novice runner at best, and I recognize the value of my accomplishment as minimal is the world of long distance racing.  Its not like the Brentwood Firecracker is a qualifying race for the Boston Marathon.  So if you are expecting training tips, or anything of that sort from

Only 1 is true. -The name "Wendy" was made up for the book "Peter Pan". -Many of the creature names in the Star Wars series, such as wookie, jawa, & ewok are words from the language of sanskrit.

Now that I’m a father of four, I’ve had a chance to re-read/watch many of the popular children’s stories, and nursery rhymes. As a child, I accepted them for what they were. But now as an adult, I have a different perspective on most of these. For example, I just don’t understand how Jack can be nimble enough and quick enough to jump over a candlestick, as well as climb up a beanstalk, escape

Only 1 is true. -Prior to their careers as entertainers, the Ringling Brothers owned and operated a successful and highly regarded daycare in Trenton, NJ. It was while observing the unique talents of the children during playtime that inspired them to begin their traveling circus. - In ancient Egypt, beer was valuable it was used as currency.  In fact the workers who built the pyramids

I wouldn't exactly say the well has dried up, but I've had a tough time thinking of what exactly to blog about lately. Its not that I don't have ideas, its just with 4 kids, 2 dogs, a full time job, and trying to train for a 5K, I haven't given myself much time to expand upon those ideas. I asked my wife for a suggestion on a topic, and she recommended I write about baking soda. Given that my

Only 1 is true. - The Rocket Dancers graced the stage of Radio Music City Hall for years. However as more and more members went overseas to fight on WWII, the dancers' wives began to fill in. Audiences raved about the new "Rockette" dancers high-kicking routine, and they became a mainstay, permanently replacing their husbands even after their return from the war. -Many of the details

A few nights ago, I watched the movie “The Five People You Meet in Heaven”, and it was just as good as I had been told it would be. In the story, a man dies and meets five different people, and gains a new perspective of his life. So I’ve been thinking, if everyone meets five people when they go to Heaven, then surely they must do the same if they go to Hell. In “The Five People You Meet in
