Addictive Game
As a rule, I don’t play that many video games any more. But, once or twice a year I get sucked in by a game that I just can’t live without for a few weeks. That game is Unreal Tournament 2004. I have played all the other versions in the past, and they have all been great. This one has a compelling single player version of the tourney, where you are the team leader guiding your team through the deadliest tournament ever.
I am a dork, but this game is cool.

Any Questions?
Ralph Wiley
ESPN Page 2 doesn’t get a lot of attention, but some of the guys over there are really good. I never read Ralph Wiley much until recently when he and Bill Simmons did a day-long diary, volleying opinions back and forth, blog style. Wiley died of heart failure at 52. There may have been a debate as to just how old 73 is, but we all know that 52 is young. Check out what Wiley’s colleagues had to say.
Ray Charles Has Died
Ray Charles, who was at his best in The Blues Brothers with Belushi has died. He was very old, so I guess it is less sad. Plus all I can think of is his self parody in that movie and I can’t help but cracking up.
Power Tools
I want to tell everyone in the world just how much fun it is to use the power washer. For one hour. By the third hour, you might find yourself wishing you didn’t have a wooden deck connected to the back of your house at all.
Creed Breaks Up Finally
Check it out yo. Creed broke up. That biatch Scott Stapp will hopefully fade away forever and ever.
Have I mentioned how much I hate Creed?
Godsmack Beats Up Story of the Year
Godsmack’s crew beat up a pop-punk band sharing the bill at a radio festival in Indiana. You can check out the full story Here at rockdummy.com. Reading the story is kind of funny. I have a complete distaste for those talentless effing idiots who couldn’t think of a band name, so they named themselves after an Alice In Chains song. You suck. Your “music” sucks. For more piss and vinegar, head to the link above. By the way, in case you couldn’t tell, I hate Godsmack.
The West Wing
I haven’t seen all of the shows just yet, but after different holiday marathons and catching it on Bravo at 11:00 PM most nights, I am slowly catching up with every episode of The West Wing that I have missed. Last night I was watching some “viewer’s choice” marathon and I was able to see the two episodes that flashback to the original campaign trail when the team that runs the White House was originally assembled. Absolutely fascinating. Brilliantly written and executed almost perfectly. I have no complaints.
I am prepared to say that The West Wing is the greatest television show in the history of the universe. It beats the Sopranos due to its consistency. ER isn’t even close. Friends wishes it was half as good. Law and Order is a joke in comparison. It has taken Eric from Billy Madison to new heights. It resurrected Rob Lowe (even though he was in Wayne’s World.) It has solidified Martin Sheen as one of the best actors I have ever seen. Maybe this character is just perfect for him, but I have never seen Martin Sheen any better in my entire life.
If you haven’t seen this show, you should buy the seasons on DVD. NOW!
