- So, there are only 2 1/2 weeks left in Year 1 of my return to college. It's been arguably my most successful year of school at any level. I ended up with a 4.0, on 14 credits, in the Fall; right now, on 13 credits, I have a 3.67, with 2 classes sitting in … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome II”: Dropping ‘Quarter Notes’
The POTUS and Race & Gender questions, plus the 2016 Race
1) Has Barack Obama's terms scared away other minorities from running for the Presidency? 2) Will another woman become a VP/Presidential candidate, especially if Hilary Clinton isn't successful in her not formally announced yet campaign? I remember back in 1988 being surprised that the Rev. Jesse Jackson was running for president. I don't remember the numbers but … Continue reading The POTUS and Race & Gender questions, plus the 2016 Race
World of Warcraft: The Raiding “Elitist”
I came back to World of Warcraft about a year and a half ago, mainly playing for a couple of hours after work and HW/studying or on the weekends. Since that time, I've managed to get a few toons up and beyond the minimum gear level to join a few "Looking For Raid (LFR)" groups, … Continue reading World of Warcraft: The Raiding “Elitist”
The WWE, the NWA, and ‘The 1/8th Nelson’
A few years ago, I wrote the occasional review of WWE's then-Friday night show, "Smackdown", for the blog "1/8th Nelson", a wrestling blog founded and contributed to by 3 of my best friends. While the Nelson has faded into the background, my occasional wrestling writing might resurface from time to time. I don't know what … Continue reading The WWE, the NWA, and ‘The 1/8th Nelson’
“Short Circuits”: ‘I Don’t Understand It!’
(for starters, I don't understand why it was nearly 4 AM before I fell asleep... but I was awake at around 8:15) - I don't understand how or why "flipping" something became so popular. You now have shows on TV about 'flipping' your dinner, 'flipping' your house, and 'flipping' your life (no shows about 'flipping' a … Continue reading “Short Circuits”: ‘I Don’t Understand It!’
“Inside The Terrordome I”
- President Obama is in town (Louisville) this afternoon, to talk about jobs and improving the economy. However, he delayed his arrival a few hours because of developing issues with the Iran Nuclear Program deal (it sounds like a deal has been reached), and now there are some severe storms rolling through. Add that to … Continue reading “Inside The Terrordome I”
The World of Warcraft Stigma
Entries titled "Entertaining the Cyborg" are where I'll put different thoughts, opinions, and things that I think might be cool about different games, books, computers and computer items, and possibly a movie review or 2. This one is about the MMORPG, World of Warcraft. I have been a WoW subscriber from 2004-2010 and from late … Continue reading The World of Warcraft Stigma
March Madness! Memories
This is my favorite time of the sports calendar: the post-season for College Basketball! I love watching to see which of the "smaller" conference schools get in, what seeds my favorite teams will get, and how all of it will play out. My 3 favorite schools are the University of Louisville, Purdue, and Kansas. I … Continue reading March Madness! Memories
An Introduction
- My name is Anthony Bonner but if you call me "Ant" (family nickname), "Zuri" (middle name/one of my High School nicknames), or "Cyborg" (recent nickname - will explain in a moment), I will probably respond. I currently live in my hometown of Louisville, KY, where I work for a Translator Software company called Kinetic the … Continue reading An Introduction
Drum and Bugle Corps Adventures
So, the posts on this entry will be mixing some of the Notes on different subjects that I've posted on Facebook over the last decade or so. And they will probably be LONG, so bear with me. 😉 This first one is of some of my many posts recalling my times on the Drum Corps Associates … Continue reading Drum and Bugle Corps Adventures
