On Language, Words, Grammar & Blogs.

For as long as the internet has been around, “proper” language usage has been a subject of discussion, but it wasn’t until the last few months that I’ve been noticing the discussion really getting heated to the point of boiling over in some sites.  (I’m sure it has been boiling for quite a while, I’m [...]

Village Halloween Parade (NYP Update #2): The Dragon.

For those new to what’s going on, a month and some change ago I moved to NYC and wanting to become involve with everything the city has to offer, I decided to volunteer for the New York Village Halloween Parade, because a) I love Halloween (who doesn’t?) my fave holiday, and b) I figured that on [...]

Unbelieveable Response From The Church About Sexual-Abuse Scandals

I know I should be yapping about the whole Dave Letterman sex with interns/extortion scandal but there are other more serious sex scandal-related news that I just can’t fucking believe that deserve attention.
According to the UK Guardian paper, the Catholic Church has right out defended their history of sex abuse at the hands of clergy [...]

Celebration CD Review or Madonna, The Beatles, and Elvis Presley.

Being that this is a greatest hits compilation, this isn’t so much a review but just commentary on the material offered.  Having racked up a staggering amount of hits that just seems infinite at this point; unless a huge multi-cd box set gets released, no compilation like this is ever going to be able to [...]

The 2009 edition of the new york film festival at Lincoln Center, (you can get all the info you need here) is currently underway and though this is exciting news, I’m completely annoyed by it and therefore I have to vent because that’s what blogs were created for.

I know some a-hole is going to comment [...]

I experienced my first “bomb” scare yesterday, as a cellphone was left in a subway car and everyone thought it was a bomb.  Later on, there was something in the tracks and the subway I happened to be in plus other ones started blowing their horns in agitation and everyone panicked in a way I [...]

TV: Raising the Bar Season Finale

This was one seriously conflicted and fucked up episode!  And can I just say that I now dislike Bobbi? I can’t believe what she did and then dare to pretend she didn’t and get mad about it when Jerry confronted her?!  I never would have thought her acting in such a way but she did.

Let [...]

The New York City Project

TEN DAYS.
TEN MORE DAYS ‘TIL NYC.
IT’S TIME TO START THE COUNTDOWN.
I think is hilarious that the first thing that always pops up in my head whenever I think of NYC (which has been always/all the time this past few weeks) is the scene in Gangs of New York where Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill “the butcher” Cutting [...]

Fight The Real Enemy!!

Sinead O’Connor’s words of wisdom were the first thing that popped into my head when I first saw them.
The controversial Obama Joker Posters have been popping all around my neighborhood in the last few days, enraging the black community and democrats in general and even a few republicans who think they go too far.
I would [...]
