1. I have recently discovered the comedic genius of Irish stand up comedian, Dylan Moran ( also the star of the BBC series Black Books) and I am insanely jealous of the man’s talents. His style of humor is just like mine, dark and brutally honest. Except that when he does his thing. he comes [...]

I happen to like walking around on campus a few days just after a semester ends. I can never get over the fact that what was only a few days before, a bustling metropolis full of youth and expectations, has now become a deserted ghost town. The echoes my footsteps make when I walk around [...]

Two bits of business before I review this weeks fantastical episode from that highly forgettable year, 1981.
1: I think I figured out why, finally, the reason behind the crooked “R” in the neon Soul Train logo that hangs above the set. You see, the T in the logo is a capital “T” and the “R’ [...]

Talk To Me/ starring Don Cheadle
Although now it feels like that I wrote it years ago, but it was just only the other day when I was bemoaning the fact that things were looking up for jareddriskill and how I lacked the social skills/self esteem to handle it. ( Please see the post entitled: “More [...]

I can feel the icy fingers of death gently caressing my mortal flesh. Things have been looking up for old jareddriskill in the last few weeks, so naturally this makes me very suspicious. (I was one who could never handle praise and complements because I’m so used to being trod upon and forgotten.) Is my [...]

In my last round of album reviews, I had bemoaned the fact that I could not find three new albums that were worth buying, much less reviewing. The fates must’ve heard my plaintive cry, because sure enough, this group of albums were released in rapid succession shortly after I finished my last set of [...]

1. I purchased a used copy of Badmotorfinger by Soundgarden this past Sunday because I realized I haven’t heard that particular album since my old bootleg cassette dub melted down over 12 odd years ago. (That and I had an sado-masochist urge to relive those awful high school days.) Good lord man, I had forgotten [...]

October, 1998. A Thursday around 3:15 pm:
Where did Brent’s life go wrong? Brent never thought he would have a wage slave, data entry job six months after getting his bachelors degree in film critique at Walford Community College, but don;t you know it, there he was.
Sure, Brent can tell you, in great detail, about all [...]

I was unusually tired in preparation of this weeks episode, I suppose it was because I usually spend my Saturdays keeping busy running errands, but this week I had finished early and spent most of the day being listless. For me, doing nothing is more tiring than being extra busy, though you would think the [...]

Sing Along A Abba/ Landmark Theater/ Friday, July 20, 2007/Richmond, Virginia
I know I haven’t done my job LATELY and gone to any concerts or musical events to review for you, my faithful readers. But I had just gotten tired of going to hardcore punk rock/ metal shows because the last couple I went to [...]
