What I learned from Gary Coleman

Former child and reality television star, Gary Coleman, passed away from a brain hemorrhage that resulted after a fall in his Utah home.
When I heard about Coleman’s death the first couple of thoughts that come to my mind.
- Do you remember when he was sitting on the car as a security guard? [Link]
- Bulimia
- Fat Kids eat potato chips out of large yellow containers
- Don’t trust dudes in bike shops
- “What’ you talking about, Willis”
Alright, I know the Bulimia thing is a little weird but one of my most memorable episodes of Different Strokes is when Dana Plato (is she dead?) character would overeat and then force herself to throw up. As a kid, I was shocked at this behavior. I remember sitting there and thinking, “why would she eat that cake just to throw it up?”
I learned a lot of life lessons from that show. More >
Name a Ronnie James Dio Song?

Famous heavy metal frontman Ronnie James Dio died on May 16th, 2010 after a lengthy battle with stomach cancer. As I sat down to write something about his death, I realized that I knew very little about Ronnie James Dio. I knew he had crazy long black curly hair and was the “devil horns” guy. I’ve heard countless Dio references (I’ve even made Dio jokes in the past), but I couldn’t tell you anything he’s done musically.
When I mentioned this fact to a colleague, someone standing nearby said.
“You gonna write something bad about Dio?” in a shocked, disappointed manner.
I replied, “No, but can you name a Ronnie James Dio song?”
Silence.
My point was proven!
Somewhere along the line Ronnie James Dio became more important as a cultural reference than musician. He became the representation of heavy metal, both good and bad. The love of evil and darkness, the More >
Tiger Scores with Neighbor’s Daughter

Breaking News story from the National Enquirer, that Tiger Woods had sex with his neighbors’ 22 year-old daughter, Raychel Coudriet. The escapades started in Tiger’s car and then moved to his private office which was just feet away from Tiger’s wife, Elin, who was inside the house.
I’m not really surprised by anything that I hear about Tiger anymore. This isn’t much of a story because the girl was of legal age. Although it’s interesting that Tiger would make a move like this so close to his home with Elin INSIDE!
I just wanted to do this story to talk about Tiger Woods at the Masters. What’s the deal with Tiger’s goatee? Doesn’t Tiger know that creepy facial hair reeks of a sexual predator…or a baseball relief pitcher.

Because of Jack Bauer, I believe that anything is possible. His reality show will come to an end at the end of this season. After much heartache and triumph, lets look back on what Jack Bauer has taught us.
I know that I can overcome the death of a loved one (Teri Bauer, Season 1)
Never trust anyone, even your most trusted partner or someone you slept with (Nina Meyers, Season 1)
That a black man can be president (David Palmer, Season 2) You’re welcome, Obama
You can have a hot daughter and still be a complete bad ass (Kim Bauer, Season 2)
Cutting off someone’s head to stay undercover is acceptable (Season 2)
Heroin’s can be beat (Season 3)
Habib Marwan is one of the best terroist names ever (Season 4)

Knife to Head for Video Game Cheater

Yep…this is what happens to you when you cheat with online video games in China…WHAT the FUCK????
This X-Ray, which is of a Xiao Wei a 16 year old boy from China, was taken after the boy was caught cheating playing an online video game called Counter-Strike. The kid was using a cheat code that allowed him to see through walls and was caught doing so by a group of other players in an internet cafe in China’s Jilin province.
The group of kids confronted the cheater and then stabbed him in the HEAD. Amazingly the kid survived with only minor injuries.
I remember throwing a controller at a friend once when I was losing in Madden and I think I tried to give him a “charlie horse” but I missed and hurt my hand. Those were the days…

Corey Haim…Dead at 38

MTV had an article with celebrity tweets about Corey Haim’s death. Personally, I know or remember very little about Corey Haim. So when I read people’s reaction its always interested to see how people talk about him or to see what celebrities come out of the woodwork, and with the death of an 80s star, you’ll enjoy a lot of “remember them.”
@Alyssa_Milano Just woke up to the sad, sad news that Corey Haim passed away. RIP sweet boy. -Alyssa Milano, Actress (“Castle,” “Commando”)
The weirdest thing with this one is the credits that it gives Alyssa Milano. No “Who’s the Boss”…weak
@ralphmacchio Always so sad and disturbing when the addiction and demons prevail. RIP Corey Haim. -Ralph Macchio, Actor (“The Karate Kid,” “My Cousin Vinny”)
Just seeing Ralph Machhio’s name makes me laugh…Love that Karate Kid!
@TheJoeLynch So utterly bummed
Beat it…Apartment Living!

You Can Keep Your Housing!
I hate apartments… I REALLY hate apartments…but it wasn’t always that way!
The first time I experienced apartment style living was in college. I loved it. I enjoyed being around all my friends. I liked the excitement of people doing different things every night. When you live in a dorm, it isn’t hard to find someone to drink with any night of the week. You could always find someone to go in on a pizza with you and occasionally (and very rarely) you could find someone to study with.
Then, I remember the first apartment that I moved into all by myself. I miss that apartment. I had such pride in being able to pay for an apartment all on my own. It didn’t matter that it was bleeding my bank account dry…I just loved the freedom.
But now three More >
