  It is a cold, rainy night here in Maryland with temperatures in the 40's.  I just finished an eight hour shift of delivering fresh hot pizza.  I am sitting here enjoying a nice bottle of 1998 vintage wine from the Cotes de Castillon region ...

• A Bad Pizza Night

  Posted on Sunday September 27th, 2009 at 19:26 in Sexy, Rant, Pizza, rain

  Last night was one of those nights that make me wonder why I continue to deliver pizzas on the weekend.  First off, you never know from one week to the next how much money you will make each week.  Some nights are busier than others.  ...

• Obama's Planned Speech to Students

  Posted on Saturday September 5th, 2009 at 10:08 in politics, Rant, Barack Obama, Society and Culture

  Image by cena carioca via FlickrI think it is safe to say that I am not a fan of President Barack Obama. From a policy standpoint, there has been very little, if anything, that I have agreed with. However, I am not one to find fault with everything...

• A Question For Parents

  Posted on Friday July 24th, 2009 at 21:46 in family, parenting, Rant, special needs

  Throughout our lifetimes, we take on a variety of roles. There is no role that I take more seriously or is more important to me as my role as a father. Since my son has special needs, it may cause me to look at things differently than most parents....

• I Hate Stupid People

  Posted on Saturday June 27th, 2009 at 11:46 in Rant, Economy

  As I have mentioned before, I have a part time job on the weekends delivering pizza. Most people who order for a delivery are pretty cool. They understand that we are using our own vehicles and that we are providing a convenience service for them. ...

  Brigadier General Michael Walsh was testifying before Senator Barbara Boxer's Environment and Public Works Committee when he had the audacity to refer to her as "Ma'am." Oh my goodness. How dare he? Not to worry. Senator Boxer made sure to chasti...

• Men, Women, and Toilet Seats

  Posted on Wednesday May 6th, 2009 at 19:45 in Rant, battle of the sexes

  I think every guy (at least every married guy) has heard at least one complaint about leaving the toilet seat up. I do my best to try to put the seat back down for Mrs. Dickster, and I think in our 17 plus years of marriage you could count on one ha...

  Posted on Sunday March 8th, 2009 at 08:30 in Rant, Economy

  As I mentioned once before, I deliver pizzas as a part time job for one of the national pizza parlors (their name shall remain unmentioned to protect the guilty.)  For the most part, it has been a decent part time job.  However, I found out Friday ...

  Several months ago, my wife came home with our first box of Glad Force Flex Kitchen trash bags.  We have been using them ever since.  I was very impressed with the way you could put a lot more garbage into the bag without the bag breaking.  We hav...

• Cell Phones & Driving

  Posted on Saturday January 3rd, 2009 at 12:38 in Opinion, Rant

  Being a Libertarian, I am not usually a proponent of laws that restrict our freedom.  I have never been a proponent of the mandatory hands free device laws that single out cell phone users as opposed to other forms of driver distraction.  I mean is...

  It is pretty disgusting when you enter a stall in the office men's room to answer nature's call, and you discover that the person (and I use that term loosely) failed to flush. It is even more disgusting when you see that there is no toilet tissue ...
