Jim Johnson

I like Jim Johnson. The former Defensive Coordinator for the Eagles the past 10 years passed away yesterday from cancer. One of the best in the league, no doubt, he helped form one of the finest and most ferocious defenses. There is no way the Eagles make it to as many NFC Championship games, let along the Super Bowl, without this man.

Here's hoping the Birds can win it all this year. The new guy at the helm of the defense learned from Johnson and is poised for great things as well. For more information on Johnson's career and life, here is a story from Philly.com.

Alice in Wonderland

I like Alice in Wonderland. Well, I like the trailer for the new Tim Burton film adaptation. I like the original story, too. And the Disney animated movie. I mean, really, who doesn't like Alice in Wonderland?

Check out the trailer for the new move coming out in the spring of 2010 (starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter). Thanks Pop Candy.



And while you're at it, enjoy a very happy un-birthday to you (to me) to you!

Raining in Baltimore

I like Raining in Baltimore. Only appropriate for today. This a very good song from the Counting Crows' August and Everything After album.

Enjoy! Hopefully a little more sunshine where you are...

Discount Electronics Websites

I like Discount Electronics Websites. Kind off a mouthful, but totally worth it when you check out what I mean. There are some really great outlets on the Internet that offer name-brand electronics and accessories for low, almost insane prices. It seems that the trend is for companies to buy the name, rights and brand of an out-of-business electronic superstore and move it strictly online. The two that I follow almost daily are CompUSA.com and CircuitCity.com.

If you're in the market for a new LCD or Plasma TV (like I am) this is the place to shop. Not to mention the crazy deals on laptops, blu-ray players, accessories, sound systems, etc. So check them out and make sure you join their E-Newsletters so you can get first dibs on all the deals. You can also check out TigerDirect.com, Woot.com, and even Amazon.com for more great deals. I guess we've come a long way as a society from selling TVs out the trunk of a hooptie.

Four-Day Work Weeks

I like Four-Day Work Weeks. Sometimes you need a little extra boost to get you out of bed in the morning. For me this whole week, it's the wonderful fact that it is only a Four-Day Work Week. Thanks to some gents signing the Declaration of Independence 233 years ago, we get Friday off. Oh, we also got freedom, democracy, and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But I mean, come on, how sweet will it be to have off on Friday, right?

Have a great Fourth of July Weekend and Happy Birthday USA!!!

Slowing Down

I like Slowing Down. So who knew writing a blog post everyday would be so tedious? I am going to be slowing down the number of posts I write here--from every day to a couple times a week. What does this mean for you, the reader? Well, it means you should keep checking to see if a new post popped up OR subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll be alerted every time there's a new post. It also means that I may post something on the weekend, or even have multiple posts in a day. Some may be longer and some shorter. Who knows?!?!

But please keep coming back and leaving your comments. I have some new ideas for this blog that I am hoping to develop over the next few months. Thanks to all who are reading this!

Also, be sure to check out a new special guest blogger during the week of July 13-17. That guest blogger is none other than Mr. Tim. You'll either want to hug him or punch him the face. He looks angry, but he's actually as friendly as a puppy humping your leg.
