Conspiracy

As speculation about the apparent double-murder/suicide of pro-wrestler Chris Benoit rages on, I have a few theories of my own.
1) Somebody failed to forward an email-chain letter to 5 of their friends and “something bad” really did happen.
2) Nobody died.  Vince McMahon is just pushing the storyline thing a little too far outside of the ring.
3) This is another one of [...]

MySpace Surveys

I’m still not sure exactly why, but I have a MySpace page - myspace.com/joestankowski.
If you know anything about MySpace, you’re probably already familiar with the ridiculous “surveys” floating around - most of which I suspect are to gather personal information and steal your identity (even if they are written by 12 year olds)

Idiots In The News

I admit it… I find it very annoying (to put it mildly) when people feel the need to broadcast their political preferences, favorite breed of dog, love of bingo or the school their child attends through cheap, 50 cent bumper stickers plastered across the back end of a $30,000+ vehicle.

Arrested Development

Celebrity Look-Alikes

I just saw a teaser for the evening news where so-called ‘regular’ guys are going under the plastic surgeon’s knife to look like thier favorite celebs.
Brad Pitt’s nose and Russell Crowe’s chin are said to be popular but if I was to ever seriously consider getting work done, I think my first task would be [...]

Sure, it’s tough to commit to regular exercise. There are just so many other things that require our undivided attention. Or maybe it’s just easier to feel sorry for ourselves and find something better to do.
“I don’t have time”
“My elbow/knee/back hurts”
“It’s just too hard”
“I didn’t sleep well”
“(enter your favorite exer-scuse here)”
I admit, there are days [...]

Come See For Yourself

What do the names Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Springsteen and Horner have in common?
They are all incredibly talented individuals you can hear on the radio AND each one hails from the state of New Jersey.
Did you just ask ‘But who’s Horner’?
Well, if you live within earshot of Vineland, NJ, you’re probably already familiar with my friend [...]
