When Houston Nutt took over the Ole Miss football head coaching job, I expected them to maintain their position among the SEC as a poor man’s Alabama. I figured they would compete, and every now and then pull an upset. Unfortunately for those Rebel (I mean black bear) fans, I…
Read MoreI’m sensitive to a point. If I am criticized for my behavior or performance, I will take it to heart and consider ways I can improve. However, I also do not get bogged down if someone makes a joke (at my expense). One of the problems in the world today…
Read MoreOccupy Wallstreet has struck a chord with many in the country because of the disparity between the upper – middle – and lower classes of society. I grew up staunchly conservative; however, after getting my degree and aging a little, I have changed my outlook. Capitalism is not inherently bad….
Read MoreI’ve noticed a lot of people have been searching to find the song that a music video was created for in Dance Moms last week. The song is It’s Like Summer
Here is an essay I did a few years ago on “A Dolls House”. It’s dry, but I got a good grade on it.

During the Victorian Era (1837-1901), women were viewed as pure and clean. Their bodies were seen as temples that should not be adorned…

Not giving them the benefit of the doubt simply limits their contributions to society and begins a perpetual cycle of working dead end jobs. I would much rather a child of an illegal immigrant get in-state tuition than a Orange County silver spoon kid who will probably go to school and screw around more than likely. Anyways, that’s the short and dirty version of a paper I wrote a few years ago. I am posting it below. Forgive me for the dryness, it was for an English 1020 class, and we had to write on immigration. Read More
I could not have scripted a better ending to the season long Maddie Ziegler show, also known as Dance Moms on Lifetime. The kids were all in LA for a music video casting call. They were told that there was a special project where all the girls would be used,…
Read MoreMany people have mentioned to me how harsh Abby Lee Miller is in coaching/teaching her dance students. I agree that she doesn’t sugarcoat things, but she obviously is one of the best at what she does. She is right when she says that she “wasn’t put on this world to…
Read MoreI recently uploaded a few clips of Lifetime’s Dance Moms because I wanted to embed the videos on my site to support my point that Cathy is an attention seeking whore. While I made the point that I wanted, I also unintentionally started getting subscribers on my youtube channel. It’s crazy…
