Credit cards and the idea of ‘free money’

August 19th, 2007

So, recently I found myself a nice little job at Chase in Lake Mary. I’ve been enjoying it a lot, outside of this bruise that showed up recently on my entire lower leg, doctor says I have what is called travelers bruising. One thing I have noticed though is it is extremely easy to get […]



A million ideas come down to just one I wanted to write about

July 15th, 2007

I had a million ideas about what to write for this issue of the Harb, with my fuming about bathroom etiquette being one of them. But, I will put that aside for something I can actually talk about with a tiny bit of knowledge and not get fumed about.
I won’t give a mini biography about […]



Isaiah said what?

July 1st, 2007

You know, I’ve never seen an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. I’ll admit it, the show just didn’t connect with me. Maybe it’s because I’ve never been into dramas like ER. But when I saw the awards show back in January where Isaiah Washington made a repeat of his gay slur I found myself saying, ‘Wow.’
I […]



And Justice For All…Almost

June 17th, 2007

For the first time in a long time I actually found myself glued to the tv recently for the ending of the Judge Pearson vs. The Korean Dry Cleaners. It was like OJ suspense, it was killing me.
If you haven’t heard of the case though, here is a refresher: Judge Roy Pearson brought a pair […]



What would you do if you found pot in your Happy Meal?

June 3rd, 2007

Probably keep it, maybe? With this group that might be considered a bonus you didn’t have to pay for. Good times!
But a family in Ottawa, Illinois isn’t keeping it or laughing about it. They plan to sue McDonald’s after their daughter found a bag of Marijuana in her Happy Meal. I guess their boat came […]



Who says you can’t go home?

June 3rd, 2007

Ahh, yes, northern New Hampshire. Home of the 2 snowy tv stations and ABC! You get tired of watching all ABC all the time when you are a kid. And it is also the home of 2 radio stations, and one is in French!
By the time this issue is published I will be on a […]



Jerry Falwell Dead. Charles Darwin Rolls in Grave.

May 20th, 2007

Jerry Falwell, televangelist and founder of the Moral Majority, collapsed at his Liberty University office and died Tuesday May 15th. Most of Falwell’s life was spent building one of the first successful Christian empires. His early adoption of television in pursuit of converts and contributions unfortunately paved the way for the imitators who would follow […]



A tale of gay ex’s.

May 6th, 2007

Once, a woman I spoke to told me that she was left feeling disgusted and dirty after she found out her ex boyfriend had come out of the closet. He was Gay.
She said she was embarrassed to admit it, even to me. I told her to just forget it, it wasn’t a reflection on her. […]



Richard Gere goes up in flames in India!

April 22nd, 2007

I don’t follow Hollywood entertainment news all that much, but when I saw Reuters headline “Protesters Burn Effigies of Gere After Shilpa Kiss” it got my attention.
Now, I’m also not a journalist (I just play one on the internet) but I do understand the “who, what, when, where and why” fundamentals of reporting. After so […]



Pedophiles clamor for spot on To Catch a Predator

April 8th, 2007

S
Sometimes I’m amazed that pedophiles are still falling for the old “I’m a horny, 13 year old and my parents are away. Come have sex with me” hook.
We all know the storyline - a pedophile arranges an in-person rendezvous with a youngster who turns out to be an adult.
Chances are, if you fall for this […]
