DALLAS – More Americans believe in a literal hell and the devil than Darwin’s theory of evolution, according to a new Harris poll released on Thursday.
It is the latest survey to highlight America’s deep level of religiosity, a cultural trait that sets it apart from much of the developed world.
It also helps [...]

Ch-ch-changes

Finally got around to dicking around with some of my site’s functionality and appearance like I said I was going to two months ago. Some changes may be experimental, so I don’t know what’s going to stay and what’s going to go as I get everything finalized. Things might be fucked, off and on, for [...]

ZHX: Converted

A while back I posted a blog bemoaning the fact that Thrasher Magazine was running ads for Untitled Skateboards, a Christian skateboarding company, that I thought compromised Thrasher’s integrity. Seven months later I received a reply from, yes…an outsider. TWO replies, actually!

The Valley of Gwangi

I’ve been on a Planet of the Apes kick for a couple days now, watching one a night until I finish all five. I was distracted one night by The Peanut Butter Solution and now I have been sidetracked again by a little 1969 film called The Valley of Gwangi. I goddamn hate westerns, but [...]

Giving Thanks

Sure, for Thanksgiving dinner I may have had a Kit-Kat bar and a Newcastle brown ale, but I got my Waffles.fm invite today! As the site’s only a couple weeks old, it’s no OiNK, but it’s quite a bit better than the two other private sites I joined post-OiNK. Time for some new music!

Best Band Name Ever

My Rock Bandmate and I spent a little time today perusing the online leaderboards to see how Smithereen is faring worldwide and ran across the best band name ever:
Blood Bath & Beyond
Dammit, why didn’t we think of that?

Rock Band is the New Karaoke

Rock Band was released today, and I’m fortunate enough to have a roommate who was willing to dump $160 on a single video game. He’s had it pre-ordered/paid off for months, and all we had to do was waltz into Game Crazy and pick the game up. If you have no idea what Rock Band [...]
