Well I was looking around as some billiards trick shots and I ran into this French pool video. This is a great trick shot, but I have to wonder how difficult it was to practice and work out the shot. Not to be out done the Japanese have a bit of pool finesse as well. Here is a video clip of a Japanese television show featuring a guy that really knows how to make a shot. I have to say that I

With fall approaching and the start of the 2009 season getting closer by the day I thought it was a good time to take a look at Ronaldinho (Ronaldo de Assis Moreira) in 2008. There is no question that I think he is one of the greatest players, and is at the top of the sport currently. So I present a few video clips of him in action this year. For those wondering what are his best goals, I also

On Monday I was out with a friend after my pool league tournament to get something to eat, and noticed the Olympics on the television. At the time the trampoline competition was on. And it got me wondering. The question was why is pool not part of the Olympic Games? Now for a bit of disclosure I should mention that I am in 2 pool leagues. I play 8-ball and 9-ball in the APA (American Poolplayers

“Have you lost your mind? I mean, how is it that you can disrespect a man’s ethnicity when you know we've influenced nearly every facet of white America... from our music to our style of dress. Not to mention your basic imitation of our sense of cool; walk, talk, dress, mannerisms. We enrich your very existence, all the while contributing to the gross national product through our achievements in

Well when Eureka! says they will be removing a main character of the show they really don’t lie. Long-time readers know that I am a major sci-fi fan. That does not normally translate into any desire to watch the D-grade revisioned 1950’s monster movies (or 1970’s natural disaster, or recent and far infereior remakes of current scifi flop movies) that populate the Sci-Fi channel; when it’s not

Ok. Please stop. I’m speaking to the CW network. The CW network is the channel that has brought us such hits as Hidden Palms, Aliens in America, and Online Nation. If you don’t recall those television shows don’t worry, no one else did either – even when they were on the air. This network was the reheated remains of the corpses of the WB and UPN networks (birthplace of Homeboys in Space - thank

In-between the latest bit of ambulance chasing news of Greta Van Sustern (in my opinion), and the various spills of the Olympics I ran across the possibly most idiotic piece of new of the year (to date anyway). What could be worse than Greta reporting endlessly on news events that the majority of people no longer want to hear about, or the endless discussions of which group of Olympic athletes

Well the ultra-liberal fanatics will surely be up in arms about the latest item to be presented on the O’Reilly Factor last night. It seems that Bill O’Reilly has landed a small roll in an up-coming film. The film is a satirical look at people like Michael Moore, and many of the Hollywood Liberals that are just one step from Hanoi Jane Fonda. Here is the video of the film So what do you

So did you see the news earlier today? Down in Houston, Texas there was a car chase, which lasted some 45 minutes. Local police and county officers were all involved in the chase – which at times was well over the speed limit when on the interstate, and almost obeying the law in community areas. But in the end the driver hit a car and jumped out to run away. It was at that moment on live

I was reading some news of late about upcoming UFC matches when I ran across something that I thought was interesting. How much do the UFC fighters actually make in each bout? Now it’s not as much as you might imagine. Though the UFC is 10 years old now, it only recently started to get television deals. With the surge in popularity has come increased revenues, but also an increase in fees.

Interesting news for those couples looking to add to their families but having difficulty. While medical technology has advanced significantly in the past 2 decades, and news of families using various methods to become pregnant has become headlines and television shows there is evidence that anything beyond natural sex is a waste of time, money and effort. A recent study, published in the

It really just floors me. At a time when the world is looking at China, as they hold the Olympics, and seeing the mixing of every culture on the planet we still get to learn about how insensitive humanity can be. Racism, and insults based solely in race, is neither an American invention nor one of the modern industrial era. But in the 21st Century we all would like to think that it might end

Expect to hear a bunch of hype in the near future because Keanu Reeves is about to have another film come out. Much like the Matrix series, this film will also be a sci-fi film. But this time the film will be far less difficult for some to follow. That’s because Keanu Reeves has jumped onto the ‘revisioned’ bandwagon. As I’ve said in the past, I have no love for revisioned movies or television

2008 is the year of the greatest athletes on four legs ever to be gathered in China at one time. That was no typo, I said 4 legs. Well to be more accurate some are on 2, but they have wings. No I’m not talking about the Beijing Olympics, but the Hong Kong Olympets that are underway as we speak. The Olympets was inspired by petshop manager Howard Cheung. It seems that Hong Kong, though

Ok, I have to address this because I hope to prevent a repeat of this event. Please, please do not contact me if you want to leave America. If you don’t like this nation go somewhere else and do not send me a random email asking for money or my help. Case in point, I received an email from a Roy Snell of Rochester today. His email is a rambling mess of accusations and woe all inflicted because

Over the weekend I had the chance to watch America rise to the challenge. I wasn’t watching the Olympics, or the news on Iraq and/or Afghanistan. I wasn’t at a movie. I was watching a BMX competition – Brawlin’ at the Belmar. I’ll say it again, I was watching teens and young men on bicycles competing on a short dirt track. In fact it wasn’t a track but a jump, landing hill, and turnaround wall

Candles are wonderful items. They provide light in the dark, are decorations in homes, and integral to the connection some have with God in their religion. Candles have been around in one form or another since at least the Egyptians if not older. Everyone has at least one in their home right now. And candles may just be the invention of Aliens. Now I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure that while

So what happens when the best golfer in the world isn’t playing in the majors? When that golfer is Tiger Woods the rest of the player get a second wind and amazing things happen. That may be the only answer as to why Padraig Harrington not only won the British Open, but now has also won the PGA Championship. This is a huge accomplishment of Harrington as this makes him only the 4th player to

The past few days have been very sad on so many fronts. There was the surprising car accident that put Morgan Freeman into the hospital with a broken arm and shoulder. Then the Olympics were marred with the murder of an American father-in-law of the Men’s Volleyball Team coach. And now there is the back to back news of the sudden deaths of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. This is a difficult week for

It’s a rainy Friday for me and I needed something to pick up my spirits. So I decided to go back to Youtube to see if there might be something that would do the job. I think the following did it.

Over the last decade or so film festivals of all sizes have become quite popular. Cannes has long been the Super Bowl event for film festivals that the general public can name, though Edinburgh International Film Festival is the longest running continuous festival. But others like the Sundance, Tribeca, and Raindance Film Festival are far more recent and followed by the media. Still there is a

So as I was wandering the web reading thru a few posts, websites and news reports for something of interest in the tattoo world I ran into 2 items. One is on Lindsey Lohan; the other is on tooth tattooing. All I have to say about the normally alcohol and cocaine besodden entertainer is that the tattoos she has gotten to match her girlfriend is a stupid thing to do. Just as I would never advocate

Oh how the rumors are flying now. With the fact that William Petersen will be ending his well-known role of Gil Grissom on C.S.I. the race has been on for producers to find a replacement. Previously I stated that I felt without the presence of Grissom the show was more than likely to fold. I may have spoken too soon. The buzz is out stating that Laurence Fishburne will be stepping in and

Ah the lovely major news media. Rarely has there been a more jaded and fickle industry, exceeded by perhaps the Hollywood machine only. Once again they have proven why I dislike their actions. Wesley Snipes won another major blow against the Government and it’s silly case about tax evasion. The major news media acted in its usual biased and obtuse form. They avoided the story. The major news

So Eva Mendes has committed the mortal Hollywood sin of exposing a breast on television – in a commercial for Calvin Klein for all of… an intolerable 1 second. Considering the outrage expressed against Janet Jackson – for her earth shattering 2.3 seconds, and the subsequent blacklisting of the entertainer, I have only one question: **The following video is so tame as to be even less of an issue
