Speaking of 2007, that was when I made my first return to the homestead after I left a job as a newspaper reporter to get my head, life, and career back together while not having to worry about rent. I can say I handled my first trip back to the basement all that well, considering I was severely ill at the time, battling Bipolar Disorder and was extremely depressed. I was largely unpleasant to be around and mostly wanted to disappear into the concrete beneath my basement, bedroom floor. for poops n' grins on the Internet. Life is incredibly funny in how a guy I started writing about during this blog's beginnings in 2008 is the same guy I wound up working for in my first scripted TV writing gig. Be sure to check out the show, premiering in October on BET! Along with script writing and blogger duties you just might catch me on as the occasional panelist. I'm already (silently) featured in the show's promos, but I hate those promos because I'm wearing the sweater of doom and I'm about 25 lbs heavier than I am now.
Harlem electrician Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) spots McClane and tries to get him off the street before he is killed, but a gang of black youths attacks McClane and Carver, who barely escapes. Returning to the station, McClane and Carver learn that Simon is likely in possession of several gallons of a bio-chemical agent explosive stolen the night before. Simon calls the station again and demands McClane and Carver put themselves through a series of "games" to prevent any more explosions. McClane is forced to lie to Carver to gain his trust. It is a neo-noir based on Miller's graphic novel series of the same name. The film is primarily based on three of Miller's works: The Hard Goodbye, about a man who embarks on a brutal rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer; The Big Fat Kill, which focuses on a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries; and That Yellow Bastard, which follows an aging police officer who protects a young woman from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer.
College football season is one of the most exciting times of the year for fans, students and alumni alike. It is the season when these people watch their teams go head to head with the finest college teams in the country in search of the championship. The game itself is a source of school spirit and individual pride. That being said, the buzz surrounding college football is tremendous. Articles, magazines and websites abound with news on various teams and players. Everyone seems to have an opinion about which teams will fall by the wayside and which teams will go all the way. In the midst of all of this, it can be very easy to get lost under the information overload. The layout is very clean and linear. Right under the site's main logo, you will find a horizontal navigation bar that offers sports predictions for Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League and of course college football, among others. Clicking on the "College" link will take you to a listing of all the NCAA colleges - from here you can pick the teams that you are interested in. The news articles are grouped by sport, highlighting the top three stories or standings of the day. You can click on the archive for older posts as well, and this news should give you a clearer picture on how your team is expected to perform come game day. This can also be quite helpful for fantasy league players, as player stats and the teams' win-loss percentages are also available.
