Dating/Not Dating After 30? An Interesting Blog Lead To Interesting Self-Analysis

Posted on by Anthony B.

Note: this is not about anyone that I have dated at any time I recently read this blog about a guy that's decided to stop dating, once he got into his 30's. You can check the link out for specific details but he listed 'gamesmanship', 'superficiality', 'outdated and overused rules', and 'men ruining dating' for his reasons for … Continue reading Dating/Not Dating After 30?

“Inside The Terrordome II”: Dropping ‘Quarter Notes’

Posted on by Anthony B.

- 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

Posted on by Anthony B.

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”

Posted on by Anthony B.

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’

Posted on by Anthony B.

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!’

Posted on by Anthony B.

(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”

Posted on by Anthony B.

- 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

Posted on by Anthony B.

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

Posted on by Anthony B.

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
