July 9, 2007No buy. What? You want a reason? Fine. IT COSTS $500!! Unless it has a feature that detects buried treasure, Apple is going to have to come down about $450.99 for me and my frugal self to jump on board. (In the off-chance it DOES have such a feature, I would like to buy Steve [...]

July 4, 2007Defying all odds, Transformers is actually good. A plot that could have been ridiculous was made believable, the actors were good, and there were numerous funny moments. For once, here is a summer blockbuster that is actually watchable. Conclusion: Director Michael Bay makes a movie I like. To say he was due is a dramatic [...]

June 9, 2007Ultraviolet is a futuristic, sci-fi, vampire (or at least I think they’re vampires) movie starring Milla Jovavich. It is, in a word, craptacular. The special effects are awful, the plot is incoherent, and it made me ask out loud on numerous occasions, “why does Milla’s agent hate her so much?” Conclusion: Possibly the worst movie [...]

May 24, 2007In high school, I was the captain of our baseball team. It’s a role that prepared me for my future job as a coach, as well as my future teaching job. The main thing I learned is what works with one person and one situation will not necessarily work with another person and situation. Be [...]

May 18, 2007Back in my teaching days, in year one, I had a student who was single handedly responsible for many of the rules I developed for semester projects, exams and class attendance in the years that followed. This student never disrupted class and, for that reason alone, seemed to be a model student in the eyes [...]

May 14, 2007ATLANTA, GA – A national, one-day boycott of purchasing gasoline is planned for March 15 in an effort organizers hope will “lower gas prices once and for all,” according to John Teller, a stay-at-home dad who has been forwarding email announcements for the boycott to everyone he knows. “There are 73,000,000-plus Americans currently on the [...]

May 9, 2007Denis was my dorm mate my freshman year in college. He had the personality of a door knob, but he wasn’t as outgoing or friendly as a door knob. Here’s one of our stories: Those who know me know that I have an unholy hatred for tuna. I won’t eat it, I don’t like looking [...]

May 8, 2007NEW YORK, NY – In a move designed to bolster their depleted starting rotation and get them back into playoff contention, the New York Yankees have signed pitcher Roger Clemens to a prorated 1-year, $28 million contract. It is estimated Clemens will earn $18.5 million for four months of work, which breaks down to roughly [...]

April 30, 2007This past weekend was huge if you are a sports fan. Every single major sport had something major happening. Even lame sports like NHL and NBA had exciting fun eventful weekends. Since this blog is supposed to be about “sports, money and pop culture” and it’s been leaning heavily towards the middle one on that [...]

April 26, 2007Last fall, I wrote arguably my most serious blog post. It was titled A Christian Warrior, and it outlined Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz’s faith, his competitive nature, and the way I have followed his career since I was a child. I ended the post by writing: Now 38, Smoltz’s time in baseball is winding [...]

April 23, 2007A few months back, I wrote about the brain trust at my Verizon Visa account who maintained they could not lower the interest rate on my remaining balance because I had closed my account in 2004. They acted as though this was standard practice with all credit cards – as much as they’d love to [...]

April 17, 2007The following is a story I told (to their dismay) quite often to my students during my former days as a high school teacher. It’s a story of procrastination, creative writing, genius, insomnia and caffeine. It was both a warning to my students about what happens when you procrastinate, and a “could your teacher be [...]

April 15, 2007If Al Gore was alive to see what has become of his precious invention, the Internet, I believe he would weep. Well, he wouldn’t actually cry (robots cannot cry), but he’d be sad. Why, because MySpace is using the Internet to destroy civilization as we know it. MySpace is a disease. People get on MySpace [...]

I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.
Alright, I'm just a guy (though an admittedly awesome one at that -- oh, and humble) who likes to blog. Sarcasm, quick wit and gorilla dust are my tools of the trade. Feel free to browse my blog and follow me. It's okay. I won't call the cops. Click here if you'd like to write a guest blog for SKOS.
