Nothin' 'bout love makes sense
I never really wanted to like the Heat. It was never something I planned on doing. For the better part of fifteen years, I’ve been as strong a Heat detractor as one could be, without actually being Bill Simmons v2.011. Clarence Weatherspoon, Allan Houston, Shawn Marion; these are all names that have brought me great joy througout my basketball-loving life, yet, somehow, I find myself...

Defending Rebecca Black...
In 1999, with the help of the highly-talented Sean Klitzner, I became something of a local — very local — celebrity. I was seventeen. Sean and I, along with three other counselors at summer camp decided to form a fake boy band and perform at the end-of-the-year talent show. At the height of *NSync and Backstreet Boys’ popularity. It blew up. For the last three days of that summer — and...

The Tumblr community confuses me almost as much as Tyler Perry’s brand of comedy and a little more than bras that clasp in the front. If I express my thoughts on a topic I find interesting and/or important, one person “likes” it. Meanwhile, someone else will post a photo of their new haircut and, within minutes, 43 people will “like” it. I don’t know much about...

“We’ve gotten to the point in football that after DeSean Jackson enjoys himself...”
– Dan Le Batard [Sports need infusion of fun, laughter]
Who are these people and why are they allowed to...
Whenever I go to the mall, every transaction at every store ends in pretty much the same way. I go to swipe my debit card, see pen marks on the little touch screen, look at the person behind the counter, he/she looks back at me, I say, “Really?”, shake my head and we both share a good laugh. Happens every time.
But, really, who are these idiots?
I could understand if this were 1999...
When should you draft your quarterback? Fuck if I...
There’s been so much talk (at least down here) about the need to draft a quarterback in the first round that I decided to do a little shoddy research. I’m not entirely sure what any of it actually means, but this is what I came up with… Of the 31 teams in the National Football League, plus the Carolina Panthers, 18 of them have a starting quarterback who was drafted somewhere in the...
The single greatest automotive innovation you'll...
This idea might need a little work, but I’ll put it out there anyway, because someone needs to make this happen. Like, now. Because, honestly, if I see one more old woman applying mascara while doing 40mph in the left lane on the 826, while a cop flies by doing 107mph, completely oblivious to her 1986 Buick LeDeathTrap, I’ll fucking snap.
Here goes:
Every car will be fitted with a...

Be a villain or be quiet? He's just being human.
We keep begging LeBron James to do one of two things: either be a villain or be quiet. Black or white. Pick a side. But, we forget that he’s only twenty-six. And that, despite our belief that his every move is a meticulously calculated one, he might just be a very large, very man-like, immature kid. One whose actions are as random and devoid of meaning as most other kids his age. Maybe he...
My child will inevitably disappoint me...
Growing up, I was a huge sports dork. So much so, that I couldnt get enough of it on my TV, radio or computer, no matter how awful it may have been. I was fascinated by it all. TMQ? Read it religiously. NFL pregame shows? Appointment television. If I stayed home from school, I watched SportsCenter from the moment I woke up until at least noon. Even though it was the same damn episode every hour.

I like a company with a sense of humor

Call the Nestle Hotline at 1-800-295-0051. When asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, wait quietly for about 10 seconds and I PROMISE you will smile. Keep going and press 4. Then press 7.
I’m crying right now.

The wrong way to beg for money
The man on the corner of 36th and 87th asked me to roll down my window this afternoon. He was holding flyers and I have a habit of collecting those, so down my window went. What he handed me wasn’t exactly a flyer, but a picture of his family. It was on a a decent quality postcard and laminated. Some of the club flyers on South Beach aren’t even printed this well. Underneath the image...

I love this new Tumblr sidebar...
…mostly because it no longer rubs my patheticly low Tumblarity right in my fucking face. In fact, I have no idea where to even find it anymore. Does it still exist? Why am I so confused? I need a drink.
