A Bittersweet Birthday Gift to Myself

  My gift? Peace of mind. I will be leaving the vine for no less than a year. My time on Newsvine has been absolutely riveting, unfortunately to the extent that it has become addictive. As moderation isn't my forte I feel it's best that I move on for a while.

The Futility of War

A couple of profound tunes that can rock your world emotionally. I'll let these songs do the rest of my talking for me.

The Staggering Parrallel: King Arthur and Dennis the Constitutional Peasant; OWS and Law Enforcement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOOTKA0aGI0 Come see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed! ... Did you see him repressing me? You saw it didn't you! This reminded me of OWS in so many ways.

Citizens of Newsvine:

Whats up with this? They're asking us if we'd refer others to the site. OK fair enough, but I answered the poll and didn't have the opportunity to elaborate and I didn't get any poll results either. If you'd like, feel free to share and explain your resp …

Me: @!$%#?

*All 'quotes' were restricted to the confines of my cranium* I came to a stop at a red light near a grocery store on my drive home from work today. The light turned green, and the car in front of me wasn't moving anywhere.

Foto-Friday - Turkey 2008

Most, if not all of these were taken in Cappadocia. The rustic quality of this area, paired with its historical significance was staggering. I only wish I'd taken better notes (and pictures).

Foto-Friday: Household Critters - Episode IV

Quid Pro Quo

As sort of a cocky celebration to my newly awarded vineacity branches (I cared for some reason), I added some recommendations to my column (as though you care). I then realized that it's highly doubtful that anyone will notice, or take any of them to heart.

Nice _____; Sorry About Your _____

*spoiler alert, expletives and rant style run-on sentences used* As a 26 year old male I'm no stranger to idiotic methods of attempting to bolster one's sex appeal.

A Voice For Your Text

Mongolia 2006 - The Experience of a Lifetime

On my first temporary duty assignment in the Alaska Air National Guard, I was fortunate enough to go to Italy. I'd spend two weeks there in April of 2006 with the majority of my colleagues.

Life in the Air Guard-My First TDY

I know it looks pretty rough, but it wasn't all that bad...for a business trip ; ) . Italy is an Amazing place.

Colbert and Stewart-Are They Newsworthy?

Spin. It's everywhere. Any reality foreign to our eyes has likely been raped by interpretation. Accusations of bias cloak all stabs at veracity. What can one believe? Who does one trust? I rarely watch the news.

Published - By msnbc.com

As I scan the comments from articles scroll down to reveal the newest happenings on Newsvine LIVE, I notice that I've been subconsciously avoiding articles from msnbc.com, First Read, and TODAY and I can't help but ask myself "Why"? The headlines are typically capt …

A Minor Inconvenience of Epic Proportions

My conversation tracker seems to be broken (has since been fixed, but it was awful) and I hate it! Someone could be refuting my statements completely unchecked and unchallenged. Someone could be setting me up for the perfect joke.

Commercials

In a society surrounded by commercialism we are all subject to the advertising efforts of various products and purveyors of them. We've all seen thousands. Some make us laugh. Some make us think. Some irritate us. A few of them even make us want to buy something.

NN9's Top 10: Favorite Things About the Womens World Cup

@!$%#! Serie A, Bundesliga, EPL, La Liga, Champions League, the Gold Cup, are all over. I browsed the live and upcoming events on ESPN3 (screw cable, I don't need it) and had the choice of tennis, canoeing, or soccer.

Irritating Commercial Alert!

Just had the misfortune of viewing one of the dumber commercials I've seen in my lifetime: An attractive young woman was walking though what appeared to be some sort of underground nightclub populated by other aesthetically blessed albeit somewhat undead looking patrons.

Daytime TV Commercials Have Destroyed My Faith In America

It's no secret that network daytime television is a tribute to the most disturbing and irritating behaviors imaginable. It's hours of unmitigated trash glorifying the most obnoxious, counterproductive individuals smut peddlers can find.

Macho Light Beers?

A certain beer company currently has an ad campaign portraing their light beer as the standard for manly beer. This of course raises the question, "How the hell is light beer manly?".

NN9's TOP 10: Irritating Newsvine Tendencies

I never thought the first thing I would contribute would be this.

I almost never agreed with Driftwood. She seemed to be on the site primarily to inflame. My polarizing tendencies didn't mesh at all with what she normally had to say or post since I'm a bit left leaning politically.
